Ouch!

Today it rained in Oakland. But I went outside anyway and cleaned out the goat barn's outdoor patio.

Someone is coming tomorrow to inspect the zoo. I guess they want to make sure it's still a good one. So all the keepers were instructed to put out enrichment for their animals so that they look like they're having fun.

For the lemurs Alan had me stuff strips of paper into small cardboard boxes, and then throw in a handful of cranberry chewy things. Then I had to cut little holes on the outside of the box so the lemurs could stick their hands into it and search around for the treats.

While I was cutting I sliced my thumb pretty bad with the knife. I started bleeding all over the place. But it's not bleeding now.

Then I went up to the lemurs by myself and fed them some apples and grapes. They were doing their usual thing, and I hand fed some of them just because I like it when they touch my hand. Heh.

Ok, so my mom and I have been watching hours and hours of the Australian Open coverage every day. We taped a semifinal match between Roger Federer and number 3 Novak Djokovic. We were really looking forward to this match. But at the zoo Alan was listening to sports radio and I heard the outcome of the match. Bummer.

But OMG!!! Federer lost in straight sets!! His streak of like ten straight grand slam finals is over.

Anyway, that was my day. I hope you had a good one!
