Thank you for the well wishes and congratulations.

To answer a question: no, Anael is not a mermaid. She has a tail mutation that ends in fins.

uh, okay. i'm very scared to ask but : rabbit that's not really a rabbit...?

yeah, there's, like. a small god, shaped like a rabbit, that lives in my yard. I would say it's a normal rabbit except it's not. It won't move from my driveway if I'm trying to drive out and it was there first. I can walk up within a few feet of it, and it will turn and just look at me like what do you want? It's the only rabbit that freaks the hell out of all my birds, they CANNOT be directed or communicated with when this rabbit comes around, they will do nothing but stand on alert and stare at it making a soft warning call. I've caught it SEVERAL times now standing nose to nose with one of my peacocks, and it just looks at me and walks away when I catch them. hawks and falcons and eagles and owls constantly pass over my yard, and it is full of rabbits that do not hide from them, and I've never seen evidence of one being taken. You know the moment you walk into a very dark room and maybe it's a room you've been in before and maybe you don't believe in ghosts, but also it's still dark and your little leftover lizard hindbrain goes "anything could be inside of here waiting for me" the second before you turn on the light? It's like that feeling, except in the shape of a rabbit. i didn't ask for any of that.

My resources have come from my own experiences and the family that raised me. I can introduce you to my parents. They've raised three kids in their lifetime, and my sisters are largely in control of the textile business now. My father mostly does it for personal hobby now.

If you need someone familiar with taking care of kids, either for advice or for a temporary sitting position, they can help better than me.

Egg says to tell Enoch that she says hi and also she got a bath today and it was horrible, more horrible-er than usual baths.

One of these days we're gonna have to swap resources cuz you've got this parenting thing more figured out than I do

I would recommend Harrowhill but I don't think she'd accept other sitting positions. She'd make a good sitter for Egg, though. She's been my trusted sitter for Enoch since she was born.

Interviewing potential live-in sitters today and I've got egg in my lap so she doesn't get lost in more sauce

Egg is just giving everybody she meets an absolute death stare

She does not understand why we need a sitter!

She is scandalized that none of these sitters know how to play with rope toys or like live mice or have a favorite kind of knife
