Sora apparently got bored and went away.



Toby has embarked upon the first day of his Life of Leisure as a Gentleman Temporarily Free and is thus grocery shopping at the moment and unavailable to chase the squirrel off the windowsill during Sora's dereliction of duty.

When I opened the blinds this morning, I found that the squirrel had obligingly piled all of the mealworms up on one side of the windowsill in order to get at the seed. Perhaps I shall just place mealworms out for a while. Squirrels are cute, but if they eat ALL the seed, I won't be able to see any of the birds!

Yelling at squirrels is the traditional occupation of the unemployed male. Also devising squirrel deterrents with water guns, hoses, noisemakers, cleverly weighted sliding shelves, and the like.

For being unemployed, he did a hell of a lot of work yesterday. I mean, I still complained that he didn't meet me at the door with a drink in hand for me and a ribbon in his hair, because we really ought to keep standards up, but a lot of work on the house got scheduled (roofer, countertop people), groceries got bought, and laundry got done.

Sora eventually chased the squirrel off.
