Incomprehensible Blathering

The shallow stream is easily crossed. The shallow mind, even more so.

Busy week

I must have had fun. I don't remember most of it. ;-)

Monday, other than getting a very cool video card and spending an inordinate amount of time installing it, I also had a Taekwondo demon straitening. :-p Okay, so it was a demonstration but it had a large number of demons in small-children suits running around so I thought perhaps the first one was more accurate. Actually, they were fairly well behaved which says something considering these kids are in summer school. In fact, the second group was very lethargic all things considered. Fortunately, the first and third groups made up for it. We were only supposed to have two groups but just as the second group was leaving, a third group came in and virtually begged us to do another set. They were supposed to be in with the second group but did not receive the information in a timely manner. This just goes to show that the public schools don't communicate internally any better than the colleges or the sub-departments therein.

On Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, I had the misfortune to be nibbled upon by some form of arachnid. The little blighter chomped on my face about three quarters of an inch outside of my left eye. I did not wake up when "he" did this but in the morning, I looked like someone had belted me in the face. Now the swelling has gone down but I still have a hard lump under the skin about half an inch in diameter. For a while there I was in danger of losing sight in my left eye from it swelling shut. Thankfully that never happened. I feel somewhat betrayed. After all, I always try to avoid stepping on them and when found in the house, I will defend them from cat and room-mate alike until I can safely transport them outside. *shrug* Oh well. I may have rolled onto this one, but if I did, I don't think I killed it as there was no corpse in bed with me when I woke up.

I'm not sure what caused it, but Wednesday night (okay, Thursday morning, really) I was actually able to sit down and write. It wasn't this chronological drivel that I spew from time to time but rather it was actual free-flowing prose. It wasn't good but it has been a long time since I could sit down and write like that. Hmm. I think it's coming up on two years. Yes, it does coincide with my relational problems with my ex, the break up and eventual divorce. Go figure. :-p It would be truly nice if I could start writing again like I used to do. The stories were sometimes a lot of fun.

Well, me thinks that is all for now. Take care, all.

    I've had them before though I don't know what kind of spider it is. We do have the brown recluse native to this area and just a scant hundred miles south or so, we have the black widow. Fortunately, I don't think it was either of those as my flesh isn't rotting off and I'm not dead, so it's all good. ;-) It is getting better, albeit slowly.

    I empathize with the mosquito bites. The local joke is that the mosquito is the state bird here. For a while this spring, they were so bad that I couldn't walk out my door without getting bit at least 3 times. *shrug* Oh well. It's drying up so they aren't quite so obnoxious. - Thank you for the well-wishes.
