camwynWorking from home again today. Actually, working from home today and Monday and ... probably all of next week. The office is on 'work from home at employee discretion, but we recommend work from home' status until declared otherwise, and I need to keep an eye on kitty health matters at least until I hear from the doctor on Saturday.
Don't know if I'll be able to fly Sunday. If I do I'm taking Claritin beforehand, as it's on the FAA's okay list, and taking cough drops with me. Unwrapped ones. A helicopter cockpit is no place to unwrap anything.
The birds outside are loud, or they were before the current round of rain started. There's either a flicker or a downy woodpecker in the area; I heard the drumming but didn't see the drummer. Probably downies. I haven't heard the 'wait, what's with the jungle noise sound effect' call that usually means a flicker is nearby. Mind you, I spotted a freaking woodcock in Boston last week, so for all I know there's some other species of woodpecker that's blundered into the Winthrop area.
(I am absolutely positive it was a woodcock. It was, alas, dead; I took several photos and ran them through the Merlin bird ID app on my phone,w hich uses the Cornell Lab of Ornithology database, and yeah, woodcock. Why it was dead in front of a Bank of America location I do not know. Not like it was the kind of building where flying into a window was especially likely.)
