Wonky.

I don't feel quite as energetic today. I think it's a combination of the cloudy and rainy weather that rolls in and out  every couple of hours plus my lack of appetite. I had a slice of pizza for lunch, and knew that one piece wasn't enough to fill my belly, so I tried eating a PB&J. Without finishing it I felt really full, and it's been like that for the rest of the day. Usually I need a midday snack around now, but not today.

It could also stem from H. wanting to watch the whole Rangers game last night. It started at 7:30 and went well past our bedtime. I don't remember what time it was, but I ended up going to bed without him because I was beat (and we were up five nothing).

Or maybe it's that this morning H. left his phone in his pocket, so we didn't hear the alarm and slept in an hour. Usually, waking up an hour later doesn't affect me at all. In face, I usually like that sort of thing. But when H. woke me up saying that he was late, I had to go from deep sleep mode to breakfast, coffee, and lunch mode. I was dreaming about taking a tour through a cookie factory, so I might've been a little grumpy.

Tonight there's another seven o'clock game. This time I'm keeping an eye on the clock and going to bed as per usual. H. might be able to run on six hours of sleep, but I certainly can't.

The other night, H. and I were sitting on the couch, watching something on TV. I turned to look at him, and then saw the thing crawling up the wall. It looked like this:

Evil bug on the wall.
My first thought when I saw this was Oh my goodness it's a bug, I've gotta tell H. Which I did. It probably sounded like this: "There's-a-bug-there's-a-bug-there's-a-bug  can-you-get-it-please-please-please?" So H. grabs a tissue to kill it with while I have another thought about the bug. I gotta take a picture because Dad will want to see this. Turns out, asking someone to kill a bug and then telling them not to kill it yet is a little confusing. Plus, it took around five or six shots to get this one. I have absolutely no idea what this insect is, but I do know that it was at least an inch long and looked a little transparent. I also know that I don't want this in my living space, ever.

As I said, the weather's been really wonky over the past couple days, so here's a couple of mountain pictures to prove it.

Rain on the mountains makes them almost invisible.

When I look at the weather forecast for the next couple of days, there's more rain, but there's also a flood advisory in effect. In most places, flood advisories are for when there's a flood. Here, there's flood advisories because we've had an inch and a half of rain. Road closures due to a "small stream flood advisory", people. I just hope that the ants have made their leaf-bridge this year, because it's about to get rough.

  1. Cool bug! Don't think it is a spider so catch and release does not apply. Might be a cockroach.
