The doves are back. Nest building seems to be a morning activity. (I have suggested that this in in fact their love nest, not their egg nest, and it is where they will come to hide from the kids later.) It is looking substantially more nest like.

I have figured out how to describe the thing that has been tweaking me so much and so frequently since I moved to Cleveland. It is men who are paternalistic while they hit on me. Aaaah! Get away from me! And let me bathe in disinfectant! I had been trying to back away from being quite so aggressive, because really, that's not really where I am personally (but look, I'm trying to scale back to rather assertive but a bit more soft-spoken than was the case while I was, say, at Microsoft)... but it seems like there's a whole segment of the population, particularly in Cleveland, particularly among guys who are at least a few years older than I where anything other than outright bitchy will be reinterpreted as coy and feminine.

I am still floored by anyone interpreting me as coy and feminine.

BTW, very busy, way behind on LJ stuff. But I might not be insane busy all weekend, which would be nice.
