Whew! I made it through May without a major random health issue.
Why is that surprising? Read "There's Something About May" to get the full story, but suffice it to say that I get a little paranoid beginning on May Day because in four of the past five Mays I've suffered from some weird, random illness or pain.
Shingles…heart palpitations…
You'd be nervous, too!
I'm grateful I got a break this year.

On May 10, twins Wasswa and Nakato were born in New Braunfels, Texas. They are the only living set of giraffe twins, and only the second documented case in the U.S.
They were born at the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, which isn't that far from me, so…
Why haven't I gone to see those precious babies yet?
To see them in all their (digital) cuteness, go HERE or HERE.

I've been spending a lot of time filling out job applications, trying to match my eclectic work experience to each position. It's creative writing (nonfiction – I'm not making anything up!) but not the kind I'd like to be working on.

Speaking of trying to find a job, I've taken a vow: I won't visit my hair stylist or buy any wine until I have a steady paycheck.
(That should be enough incentive to keep me searching, don't you think?)

I've been attacked…by poison ivy. I'm careful to wear long pants on my morning walks through the woods, so I'm suspecting a sneak attack via Belle, aka Cuddle Puppy.
It's itchy and ugly, but it won't make me stop Belle from snuggling up against me, or from my morning walks through the woods, where the Mountain Pinks are now blooming…
