This summer I spent quite a bit of my time walking around my grandfather's tracts of land, thinking and exploring. It was a very stressful time for me, and those moments of peace really helped me and kept me sane.
While I was out running one day, down the gravel road between the horse fields, something dark stuck onto the barbed wire caught my eye. I slowed, and as I realized what it was, I thanked my lucky stars that I had my camera phone on me.
A june bug had flown directly into a barb on the fence. And I wondered, was it an accident, or an intent to kill itself like the birds that dive down towards your car as you are driving. What was so horrible and unbearable that this tiny bug felt his only solution was to end it, and end it so violently and completely? Perhaps it was a female with too many demanding eggs?
Or, like most people, the bug could have just been overwhelmingly stupid, and thus this death could qualify for entry into the Darwin Awards for his own species.
Whatever it was, the bug was dead and it made for a great picture!
I came home from class on Friday to find my pregnant chihuahua sporting a red bubble hanging from her vulva. In labor and no movement. After a moment of freaking out, I rushed her to the Animal Hospital.
One emergency C-Section later, three Chiweenie pups were born. The three devils - Lilith, Legion, and Beelzebub, affectionately known as Beelz. Mother and pups are all fine and doing well.
The going rate for the pups will be $500 if anyone is interested? I have to pay off the medical bill.
Today was one of those days. I woke up early, as usual, and when I felt the cold air hit my face, all I wanted to do was get in my car and drive.
I want to disappear. I want to go places where no one knows me, and I want to answer to nobody.
Everyone tells me to have patience, that I am almost there. All I want is to be gone.
I am still waiting on two of my W2's from last year. I cannot file my income taxes and get my much needed tax return until people stop sucking and do what they are paid to do. I have called both companies. I have complained. I have given them my current name and address repeatedly. Nothing.
Legally, those documents should have been in my hands by the end of January. Now the end of February nears, and my anger starts to grow.
On the plus side, I did receive my new nose decorations yesterday.
Grrr.
Ew. How close can you get to someone without being TOO close?
