Life update

Tonight I had what I like to refer to as a "new low". I am housesitting and went out to get something from my car at about ten p.m. I came within about two inches...exactly two inches from stepping on this....



The most disgusting living creature in my estimation. First I screamed at it. Not a "yell", but I was talking through screaming as if it could understand me. Then I ran. Then it hissed at me. I am positive it was chasing me. Then we were both in the dark...me screaming and running around my car and it hissing. The thought literally crossed my mind "if I had a gun I would shoot this". The first time such violence has ever been a part of my thinking. The next thought was "I look like an idiot, I hope the neighbors don't see me." I sprinted into the house, slammed the door, and sat down shaking. Two minutes later an animal darted into the dining room and I screeched again...oh...just the cat I am watching.

Some of you have asked where have we been? I have been screaming at possums. As for Jeff, I want to just gloss over it with "he had to go away for a very long time...he does care, but he's just busy...I promise he will come through on the next birthday or holiday".

The truth is Jeff has been reaching into the depths of his artistic side and reaching out to a part of the population that he really connects to.



Don't let that big red clown nose fool you. There is a really big heart under that crazy costume. Way to go Jeff. I am so proud to be your friend. This time off has really made a difference in the lives of a lot of people. Shame on you for being so humble about it.

I took my trash out a few weeks ago and had a pretty much identical experience. Along with the screaming and whatnot. That was pretty much the most disgusting thing ever.

(I promise pictures of my dishes soon).

Out here in Boston it's the skunks. They're everywhere. Half the summer nights smell like you're living near a pile of burning tires.

"Oh, what a cute little black and white kitty! Come here, kitty, kitty! Oh you're just so cu... AAAAH!! NO! Walking away ... slowly, quietly."

I may have been laughing at your expense but I really do feel for your pain....heehee! I really do.

Myndi, I had a feeling that was you! And I'm guessing that occurred in good ole HI? Not that KS doesn't have plenty of turkeys. And thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of DRIVEL!
