seems the theme for now is peacefulness…. being idle and not fretting for the sense of stillness.
usually, stillness is worrisome as it has, until recently, been the result of some disaster or another; the quiet before the shockwave arrives. this time, it is different. nonplussed, i float in it. no real thought to meaning or purpose. rather pleasant, really.
turns out the two kittens who were so much like the two i had to leave behind in florida have already been adopted. ah well, i couldn’t afford to get them anyway and i wasn’t willing to submit to the oddness of the local fringe element in their dogged (hah!) insistence upon home visits and the like to ‘insure i am a good pet owner’.
pft. i’ll visit the shelter next time.
not much else, really. still have a rather nasty cough and my nose is annoyed. changing weather, pollen, and mold from the rains. feverish today. may call it early and try to rest a bit so it doesn’t turn into bronchitis or worse. i haven’t the insurance (or the money) to be sick.
in other news, sadly, i’m going to have to break down and get ant traps. the fuckers will not stop invading my desk, computer, and kitchen. having tried all manner of passive possibilities to convince them to go elsewhere and finding them stubborn as ants are wont to be, now comes a more terminal severity. i cannot afford to have them nest in the G5 and i am tired of being bitten as i try to work.
but it makes me sad. sigh.
nothing more for now. hope you are well.
