Leave it to my unconventional Gods to find an unconventional way of taking the blood sacrifice I was simply toying with as an idea.
Sometimes it is NOT a good thing for the Gods to hear every lil thought that runs through one's head!
So yeah, I was toying with the idea of making a blood sacrifice in an
attempt to rid myself of this lingering depression that just won't go
away. As I was walking my dog through the wooded trails, I spotted a
LARGE turtle, pointed towards the road. Now there's a little creek on
the other side of the road, but this road has some steep curbs that
turtles have a VERY hard time conquering.
So, as my grandmother taught me ages ago, and that I still do to this day, I decided to help this turtle across the road.
But, there is a small thicket between me and said turtle. So I tie
Holly (the dog) to a tree and begin slowly attempting to navigate
through the underbrush. It was only once I was truly committed to this
idea that the brambles showed up.
Well, I wasn't going to let some thorny vines stand between me and my
soon-to-be-rescued turtle, so I pushed through. And have a few good
scratches, that drew blood, for my troubles.
Turns out, it's a dead turtle. Been dead for a while. And I couldn't help but just laugh.
I made the offer. I just didn't realize the Gods would be so swift in taking me up on it.
