19 days until the vernal equinox

Tiffany has teal hair now, while Primrose's hair is a hadeopelagic shade of black, a black so dark it almost glows, and I can catch glimpses of indigo and mauve. I forgot to mention this but the woman at the tea place has mesopelagic blue hair so I'm like "since when do you have blue hair?" and she said "since a few days ago," so at least there aren't any anomalies to deal with. The other woman there had Apis mellifera in script and Chaos' sigil, ♉︎ though it looked more like an 8 with the top chopped off than Unicode's version did.
We have some new interns, Anna, whose hair is the standard Asian abyssopelagic black with not an illusion of any other color, and one with a Celtic name I've forgotten despite it being on her shirt. It may or may not be Clodagh.

We didn't get any new admissions since the last time I was there and the swan was released. In other words, we have more people than we need but at least I'm not the one making seagull cuisine.

We're planning to release the ring-billed gull soon, which is great because I thought I was going to vomit whilst talking to Emily, about what I don't know because I was so overwhelmed by the fishy smell. I'm confident another gull will show up to replace him.
A rodo's lead won't go down, which is weird because even if we don't treat the lead, they're still going to excrete it and stuff, but he's acting more or less normal. I kept wanting to call Emily Sarah for some reason.

Here's a story about a rodo: TJ AKA Gerald thought the rodo stopped bleeding but he didn't, and he looked away, and the rodo was drenched in blood and flew around because TJ was so shocked by all the blood everywhere.

The red-tailed hawk has a high buffy coat, that's leukocytes and thrombocytes, and his total protein is high, and that's indicative of infection, but at least his lead levels are normal.

A pig got a mani-pedi, which involves sedating her and then getting these shears (they're not always in the last place you look. I told Emily that she could stop looking for them) and chopping off the overgrown keratinous parts of the hoof and then filing it down to make it look nice, and vaccinations for rabies, tetanus, and a swine-specific form of erysipelas. I didn't know it was possible to get a shot for a bacterial illness but apparently tetanus is also caused by bacteria.

I'm not sure how old Hedgie is but the oldest hedgehog was 14, or at least, according to a book published in 1982. That's like a human living to 234.

burning question: You guys ever just eat some breadcrumbs?
