Rhode Island was in a mean mindset today… clucking and barking at everyone. I think she’s annoyed that big kahuna is back in town, so she’s not as big a fish in the pond anymore. (how many animal cliches can I fit in one sentence?) She made Newbie cry at one point, and it seems like all of the hens were in prime noise making form. Being home tonight is a blessing… quiet, and no meanies or petty stuff happening. There’s something in the air outside, and I’m perfectly happy to be walled up like Fortunato in a catacomb, gibbering about a cask of Amontillado. (as long as Ol’ Newt and my Sweetie come to visit now and again.)

Good side of today.. a bit of synchronicity. I got some foil-wrapped chocolate coins from Kahuna… she brought them back, in a cardboard box shaped like a slot machine. They’re pretty high quality dark chocolate, too! (They’d better be… 6 coins are 5 ww points, by my reckoning.)
