So… two short bursts of lights and music isn’t enough to shift mama raccoon. Today we’ll start lifting away some of the junk (that’s easily accessible) and I’ll probably use a timer to turn the lights on more than once during the night.

I went out with my mother this morning for a walk. It ended up being a 35 min walk (even though it might have been shorter but she stopped to talk to someone and I walked ahead, circled back, then took the keys). What we did was a slower walk down to the bike path and then I jogged away from her for a little bit (until I couldn’t jog anymore), then walked back. I did this three times total, and in the end I think it was a more preferable workout for me that the slightly longer, faster walk.

35 mins total, 290 cals, Max HR: 178 (101%), Avg HR: 142 (80%)

So, basically a ‘usual’ kind of a day. Walk (with a little jogging) in the morning, followed by some sawing of wood (hopefully done with that tomorrow) and a swim in the afternoon. I did drag some of the junk out of the shed (leaving mama raccoon more exposed). I turned on the lights a bit tonight, and set the timer to go on during the night for a while. I’m not sure that she’s all that concerned though. We’ll see.

Wow, I have nothing really to add. Now that school is over my life is kind of boring. Not that it was particularly exciting then.
