The days are getting longer. We're getting more light. And on days when I take the train to work, instead of carpooling, I enjoy being able to walk home from the train station and not be doing it in the dark.

 However, darkness isn't far off yet, and the Moon ensures that I know it, and that I enjoy the sun while it's up.

My Mexican Black King snake is getting ready to shed, as indicated by the milky eye. She's a gorgeous black, and almost flawless (meaning there is almost no other colour, save for a bit of white on the underside of her head). She is the smallest of the 3, but also the most popular among friends it seems.

All around my apartment building you can see rabbits. This little guy was sitting right beside the path way that leads up to the door. He was under a tree where he seemed to feel quite safe, as I was able to move around him and get relatively close and he barely flinched.

As I worked my way closer, he did start to perk up, and start getting ready to make a run for it. Before he got totally spooked, I backed off, and let him relax and enjoy what was left of the afternoon sun.

Olympic Hockey, and enough pizza to feed a group of 7. Despite the outcome of the hockey game, it was still a great night.

So it's not that great of a picture, but it's the only photo I managed to take today. All day I was just way to busy to even think about grabbing my camera. I did luck in however, that my g/f wanted to see the bruise left behind after being stuck with needles during her hospital stay, and they only way to do that, was to show her on my phone with a quick picture.

She came home from the hospital today! She's still on pain killers, but at least she's home, and healing. Gall bladder removal is done laproscopically through 4 small incisions in the abdomen, and scaring is fairly minimal.

More presents for my g/f from her friends. One of them made an origami menagerie for her, seen here on display with the drinking cups they decided to colour.

My g/f had emergency surgery last night. Now she'll be spending a few days in the hospital recovering. Glad that she's on the mend. Some friends stopped by today, and one decided the whiteboard in her room needed some artwork and well wishes.
