Oddity

written: January 28th

Driving to my lil hometown – I saw so many roadkill coyotes and birds of prey.  These are two animals that typically are not frequent roadkill.  But I saw at least 10 dead coyotes and more than a dozen dead hawks and owls.  Just broke my heart.  If I’d had the ability, I would have picked up all of the birds of prey and at least harvested their feathers.  It just sucks that they are just going to lie on the side of the road and rot away.  Or worse, lure scavengers in to potentially be struck and killed by cars as well.  If I could, I would have picked up all the dead animals and taken them somewhere away from the road, so they could be scavenged without the threat to the scavengers.  I know, I’m an odd one that way.  Trust me, you ain’t telling me anything I don’t already know.  ::laughs::

I mentioned wanting a simple stereo to have in my room – mostly so I could play soft, soothing music to cover up the asshole neighbor’s dogs barking at 7 am…or like yesterday, the neighbors behind us decided to have two MASSIVE trees removed….starting at 8 am.  I am NOT a morning person, and so having my sleep disturbed like that can put me in a hell of a mood, so I wanted something I could play some soothing music to cover some of the noise up.  ::laughs::  And my husband decides to go to Best Buy for me and comes back with a NICE stereo for my room.  It can play CDS (because I have a number of soothing CDS I listened to back in high school)…AND has apparently bought me an iPod as well, because the stereo can dock an iPod.  ::chuckles::    I knew it was a good idea to mention it while he was hyper-fixated on stereos.  I’m finally learning how to channel some of his ADHD.  ::chuckles::

Mom and I stayed up to almost midnight chatting.  Apparently, she also had terrible periods – they sound like they were even worse than mine are currently.  So she completely sympathizes.  And she reminded me of how bad my periods were when I first started menstruating.  Thank god, mine aren’t that bad currently.  If they were, I would have demanded a hysterectomy by the time I was 25 years old.  ::chuckles::
