Today has been a bitch, but at least I got to wear my Victorian cat portrait shirt. It brings me joy.

Today was peacefully boring, which is a rare treat. And I got to clean a ridiculous amount of smegma from a mouse&#39;s prepuce, which was very satisfying. Guy was carrying around a bag of rocks down there. He has to feel better now. #VetMed

I keep telling myself I do not need to drive 2.5 hours to a garden show to buy Abbeville red irises... :blobfoxreach:

Grabbed the sunscreen and cold drinks for a stroll through the sculpture garden today. Here are some of my favorites. I love how the placement of each sculpture highlights the natural beauty of New Orleans City Park.

There was a small group of college boys at the table near us. All of a sudden, two of the guys jumped up and ran out into the rain to an elderly lady who was slowly making her way up an incline from the street.

My coworker found a weak and cold baby opossum on Saturday. A veterinarian friend gave him some supportive care. The picture she sent me this morning shows a much perkier and angy boy.
