From WildCareOklahoma

Meet WildCareOklahoma patient #24-3218, great horned owl. This is not a typical position for an owl. This one is being weighed. Taking and tracking patient weights is one of the most important protocols followed at WildCareOklahoma. Changes and trends in weight can indicate the patient is improving and moving toward release or that something may be wrong when weight is lost.

You may recognize this scale - it’s the same kind used in pediatricians’ offices!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through stuff. I hope it improves soon and you are the better, after. It’s good to have people, places and hobbies to brighten cloudy days, and I’m glad we can be part of that, for each other. If there’s anything we can do, even just be a sounding board, please don’t hesitate to share. Maybe we can find solutions, maybe not; but we can be supportive, either way. Not saying you want to or that it’s always appropriate to put our stuff online; just that sometimes it can lighten the load.

Either way, we’re here for you. Thanks again.

I appreciate the moral support! I believe it’s mainly due to changes to my routine throwing off my sleep. I don’t sleep enough to begin with, so it doesn’t take much to really get me out of whack.

I’ve been making sure to have it with my friends and my piano class is back for the fall semester now too.

Very welcome, friend. Yes, having sleep messed up can do that, and days are getting shorter, so that can contribute. I’m glad you have friends and hobbies to alleviate the brunt. Playing an instrument is a wonderful outlet. Perhaps you’ll write a fugue on par with Beethoven Bach. I need a nap!

That fellow could fugue like none other!

Alas, I am not at fugue levels of coordination yet, but I’ll keep working on it.
