Holy Friday. I knew I would not achieve much trying to go anywhere because auntie and Groundel are sick, so decided to move some of the outside furniture… Big mistake! As I opened the bed-sofa I spotted something big, black and hairy lurking in the creases… A spider, the biggest meanest ugliest one I have seen in person and outside a cage… I panicked. My pulse went skyrocketing and I almost felt my breath gone. I backed away slowly but certainly. Then I ran to wake up poor Groundel hissing with wide eyes “Pleeeeeeese wake up! Pleeeeeeeeeese!” Wow, almost a Leeloo double… LOL Anyway… He went, hunted and killed the friggin thing. I had to go out, sit down and catch my breath as I kept the panic attack for more than an hour.
To take my mind off the Spider Incident (lately there have been many incidents to record, huh?) I started taking the weeds off the baby palms I am nursing. Then went completely out and started replanting some old plants that were begging for some room. My aunt had a “botella” that I couldn’t get off the terracotta planter because it had squeezed itself to it… It was actually feeding from one root that peeked outside through the only hole in the pot. I had to pick up a hammer and smash the pot in order to grant freedom to the poor plant. I actually heard her screaming a big “Ahhhhhhhhhh”… I just imagined getting off a corset! :) Anyway, replanted the botella and now it looks happier. Cut some branches on other plants, repositioned others based on sun preference, and made auntie happy as I found 3 orchid plants that were blossomed. Wheeeeeeeee!
The day is so hot I was soaking in sweat. To cool down a little got a Malta and took some dry laundry inside… That’s just when I thought “Hmm, this itches, still pica-pica around?”. Took a bath and as I went outside again I realized I had placed the laundry over a red ant hill. You can bet my clothing was really itchy… Me and my luck, theres no respect not even in such a day as today…
Deciding that for some reason bugs are determined to attack me, I hanged a white flag outside my room. I surrender! Just leave me alone, you creepy crawlers! So, here I am, doing the safest thing I can do that wont leave me feeling like I need 5 tons of Inositol… Did some pc-scrapbooking, posted some pics… and now to watch some movies on TV. All the while, Groundel has been missing in action, his batteries offline. Oh, well… Hope he wakes up soon… I hope he’s not dead yet. :P
Kitties very happy, they have been with humans all these last days almost for whole days in itself… and they get happy because that is what they like… love, food, water, bathroom and companionship. Things to learn from cats: fuzz yourself with unfuzzing yourself.
