I still hate Jersey, but...
I do feel ever s'much better now.
I finally baked that cake last night.Eric iced it while I was soaking in the tub.
(My left calf was achiiiiin' bad. Started going up into my knee and thigh muscle and it was just making me feel tired all over... it's better today, thank God.)
That cake I made is all but gone already.... (Eric) I'm now making another one.
Same kind as last night... "super moist" yellow, with butter (or, more specifically "I can't believe it's not butter") instead of oil and whipped chocolate icing.
Maybe this one'll make it through 24 hours.... ya think?
*giggle* PLUS, I got my first Hyacinth of the year.
Dear GAWD, these things smell s'damned good.
It's Spring in this house, now... Plus, I'm the awed recipient of a certain email addy, which is... just wow.
Now to dig out the cajones to use it.... Speaking of cajones, I worked mine off today.
But, the knowledge that all the calves here and all the horses there are well bedded, correctly fed and comfortable is well worth the sore muscles and "old lady gimp" walk I now have. It takes me hobbling across the whole living room to be able to walk right.
Which I just had to do, because the oven timer was going off.
Now... wanna hear something odd, but cool? There's this feral barn cat, big fluffy ol' thing, who has been in here several times.
She/he comes in the back door and has a bite to eat or a clean drink of water and I feel honored she or he does that. Last night, when the oven timer went off, she was in here.
Just now, when the oven timer went off, she was here again.
What a co-inky-dink.
Best part is, she no longer jets out the door when I walk into the kitchen.
She (or he) just walks calmly.
Hope the day comes when she stays. There aren't too many completely cool things about me, but, the trust and rapport I have with most animals is one. I can ride horses that other people swear are insane.
I've petted every single dog I've ever been near and only been bit once.
Even goofy old cows trust me. I can tell by how they behave with me and the fact that the milk weight goes up when I milk 'em.
I don't know what it is, but I do love it. A lot. Now, if I could just get deer and other such creatures to let me pet 'em (and hide them from hunters-n-shit...)
I'd just love it to pieces if wild animals came up to me.
Deer, racoons, birds, bears... whatever, all of 'em.
I'd take care of 'em all, if they'd let me.
Hell, I've got more than 15 woolybear caterpillars in here.
I keep finding them all over the horsefarm, mostly.
I keep bringing them home, too.
Always have, always will. Know what else I do?
If I see any kind of turtle, including a few loggerheads in my life, trying to cross a road, I will stop, go back and either carry or herd them on across.
I hate seeing them mashed in the road.
I hate seeing any kind of animal made into road pizza.
What kinda ig'nernt dickwad can't avoid an animal with just a little skill behind the wheel, anyway? And don't even get me started on soulless losers who hit 'em on purpose....
Those assholes have a special spot in hell waiting for them, I'm sure.
Evil bastards that they are. Anyway...
Jersey sucks and I have a Hyacinth, yay!
And, some kinda "something" when it comes to critters.
And an awesome new email address to use.
(Which I think I'm putting off using by blathering on like I am... *grin*) So, on that note...
Guess I'mina go try to sound (even marginally) coherent and use it.
Then, I'mina ice that cake and then get the hell outta the way, lest I get trampled in his rush to get to it.
Then, I'm draggin' my draggin' ass to bed. Beats the hell outta staring at my "not ringing cell", huh?
*rolls eyes* Peace, y'all....

just do it! Life is way too short to sweat the small shit. and you might find a wonderful surprise at the other end. Like someone who thinks and "works" the same way you do. Let me know how it turns out. And THAT is enough profoundness from me. Played pool last night and might have had one or two too many BL's for this old body to handle.

A hyacinth?! Already?!! Cool!
Now I have to go looking for one. Nothing makes it feel springy like a hyacinth. Never mind it's still January. Details, details...
How could anyone run over a turtle for Gawds Sake? I never could understand that. Ignorant.
