There are ants in my kitty’s pants!

May 20th, 2008, 04:45 pm

Wake up in the morning after a bad night of sleep. Cat meowing all night, upstairs neighbors vacuuming at midnight. Feel like crap. Go to the kitchen to make sure the cat has food in her dish and it’s full of ants! Swear. Dump food into garbage can. Grab lighter and start burning ants.

All of the ants in my apartment are dead or dying. Hop in shower. Get out of shower and see the screen in the window has been pushed out. Cat is no where to be found. Swear again. Get worried that cat has run away. Quickly get dressed and hurry outside. Look for cat and find her in bushes near the window. She didn’t get far. Cat is scared so she won’t let me get close. Have to scare her back through the window into the apartment. Close all windows and vow not to open them again. Cat acts like nothing happened and she is my best friend although minutes before she wouldn’t let me get close to her.

Go to work ready for the day to be over since I already had all the excitement I can take in one day.

I’m too young to be old

May 16th, 2008, 04:56 pm

Monday I went to the skate park and rode my bike for about an hour. Near the end my knee started to feel like I needed to pop it but I couldn’t. It didn’t hurt or anything like that. It kinda hurt the next morning. Nothing worth mentioning though.

Wednesday there was no pain and I decided to head to the skate park again. Rode for only about 30 minutes and it was very mild. I wake up the next morning and my knee hurts and aches bad. I feel like I’m 80 years old. I can’t put any weight on my knee or bend it without pain.

Today is day two of the pain and it still hurts like it did yesterday. I shudder every time I have to get my leg into position to use the clutch on my car (once it position it doesn’t hurt). Walking is fine but getting in and out of my car hurts. Using stairs makes me nervous.

I wonder what I did. I hope it gets better by Friday since I plan on riding bikes with a friend all that day while we are in Oregon. After that, I think I’m done with skate parks. If riding mildly hurts me then I wonder what an aggressive ride would do. I’m too young for old people pains.

Trust Issues

May 6th, 2008, 08:21 pm

I feel like anyone that that associates with her I can’t trust. I don’t know what poison she is putting in their heads or where their loyalty lies. People I thought I would always trust I now question. I can’t stand this feeling. I hate not trusting my friends. I hope this lack of trust is only temporary.

Impatient Shoppers at Grocery Stores

May 3rd, 2008, 07:26 pm

Everyone knows that when you go to the grocery on a Saturday afternoon you are asking to wait forever to checkout. Self checkouts are no exception even if you are getting one or two items. Today I was picking up a three items from a grocery store. I went to the self checkout since that is usually quicker for a couple items. I was lucky and didn’t have to wait for the lady that was doing the self checkout with her whole cart of what looked like weekly groceries.

I’m working my way through the payment process going as fast as I could when I hear a guy say “dude, hurry up” in an annoyed voice. If only I wasn’t so shy I would have told him to go have sex with himself but instead I continued going as fast as I could wondering what I was doing wrong. Why didn’t he say anything to the old lady with half the store in her cart? Why did he choose me, the one that was probably going the fastest to show his lack of patience to? I’ll never know.

In a matter of seconds after the comment I was gone. I was probably at the self checkout machine for less than two minutes and that is not fast enough for people in this world. Especially on a busy afternoon when they should expect lots of people.
