Incidents unreported

Two rare incidents occurred this week, both of which I failed to report and wish I had.

1) Tuesday: A queen size mattress, fell off a truck and hit the front end of my car when I was on the highway. It was hella scary, but I didn't stop and when I did I didn't see any damage. Since then no apparent damage to the car.

2) Some jerk threw an uncapped needle and syringe away in the bathroom at Sbux, and it stuck me in my thigh. when I changed the trash. I wish I had filed an incident report. I will tomorrow. I went back to get the needle out of the dumpster, just to be safe. I'm sure nothing is wrong, but it was unsettling.

Now I know next time stop and report!

My feet hurt

I worked a 10hr day at Sbux (Starbucks) from her on out I will use this abbreviation. I have become pretty vegetative since school got out. I am absorbed by my new free trial from Netflix. It is a guilty escape from the mounds of house work and other things that I want to do. However, without the pressure of lesson planning each night, I am enjoying more social events with Annie and Geoff, and the Young adults group. I went to Rusan's and played pinochle with Annie and Geoff. It was a lot of fun. My goal is to visit with them once a week and with the Woods too. Daniel has begun a habit of visiting them nephews weekly too. Things at Sbux are the same old same old.

Daniel has a small zoo at our house. It was built in the last month or so. It has travelling exhibits to the Wood home. Joseph loves it and talks about it every time we go over there. Daniel has 3 hermit crabs, started with five and already had casualties. There is also a fire bellied toad, a little green annul lizard, which Daniel introduced to Joseph as a baby dinosaur, appealing to his love of all things dino. I still cant believe he no longer calls them beegos. Dan also has a tiger salamander, which escaped from his dish while Daniel was cleaning its tank. We were upset after an extensive search he was located in the very last spot we could think of, under the couch. Daniel couldn't fathom that the thing could escape. I was anger at his naivete and his negligence. Oh well, there are many benefits to living here too. He is good company and I am getting to know him better and help him out. We help reminding each other of various things. Back to pets Dan also a dwarf albino hamster that she-who-must-not-be-named gave him 2yrs ago for his birthday.
