...and a skunk joins the crowd!, 6-11-06This was it… the last night of our trip to this house, this absolutely wonderful house with it’s plethora of amazing wildlife I couldn’t even dream of seeing at home… and I was set to do my project again, one last time… But the thing about this night - I was, to say the least… tired. More like exausted. The entire week I haven’t been sleeping well, because I’ve either been seeing people I haven’t seen in years, or I’ve been completely immersed in this project… and when I did sleep, it was in very short amounts of time. Between Saturday night, when I finally gave up on monitoring my project and just let it run (I didn’t get anything then, either, by the way) and when I woke up on Sunday morning was about 3 hours. And the entire day of Sunday was packed with things to do - people to visit, things to do… So that makes 8am or so when I woke up, probably about 5:30 or so when I went to bed, and I need to be up all day. ALL DAY. I can’t rest at all, not one minute - there’s too much to do. So, what do I do in that situation? Attempt to plan. “You see, I have the perfect plan — I’m going to set everything up again…”, I go on, “…and go to sleep. That way, I can still get a shot, and I’ll be rested for tomorrow!” The amount of sleep I had was probably the reasoning for that decision, because tomorrow was the ride back home, the perfect time for sleep - why would I want to be rested for that?

So, the day went by, we saw who were supposed to see, do the things we were supposed to do, hobnob here and there (and I played a somewhat invigorating game of table tennis in the middle), and it was now 9pm. 9pm, after being up for 13 hours, after sleeping for 3, which was after being up for another 13 or more hours… I was going to bed! So I set up the project again, after explaning again to my grandfather why I needed to do it with “the bag” again, at 9:30… and I did it in the new location in the yard. “See! This way if something comes, I can catch it! There’s no way I can miss a shot with the project being here…!” Of course, you know where this is going, probably, but let’s keep going… ( continue on with June 11, 2006 - “All or nothing”)
