Walking
Okay my dislike of going to the doctor has come once again to bite me in my rather large flat behind. I have been coughing for almost two weeks with no end in sight. Decided, ok, had it decided for me by several people go to the doctor on my own free will or be draged against my will. I'd rather go on my own free will on my own terms. Got there an was told that I was on the edge having walking pneumonia. Okay I didn't feel that bad the cough was the only unbearble thing about it. So I am now on some bad ass cough syrup and an antibiotic. Hope this stuff goes away sometime soon!!!!
The dryer vent thing still no resolution on it and I am about to blow a gasket on that topic. I think I finally convinced them that the vent just goes into the wall and doesn't vent anywhere. They came over today to look at it and of course I wasn't home. Darn apartment people. They knew I wasn't there. The maintenance staff knows what I drive and I also have to drive by the apartment office to leave my apartment. Then there key magically disappears. I was in there last week and they had a key. Where did it go? That really makes me feel safe wondering where a key that they are supposed to have went. Also while I was in there last week the manager told me the only option may be to move if they can't get it fixed. Okay move for a dryer vent. That should be easy enough to fix. I think I am dealing with some dee dee dee's here. Some one please save me.
Over the weekend we got John a little home for some frogs. As a surprise Jason brought home two Fire Belly Toads Monday night. John loved them. Thought they were the best surprise a boy could have. Well this morning Jason woke up to the cat playing with one of the toads and one missing. Well the search is now on for the toad. We cleaned everything out of John's room except his bed and dresser and no toad. We put a lil' thing of water down as toads can't live without water hoping that is will come back to the water and stay there. To make things a little worse the toads secretes a toxin. It isn't fatal to humans but to the cat we aren't too sure. We are just hoping the cat didn't eat the other missing toad.
Well we loaded most of the stuff back into the room with the exception of a few toys. So tonight I got off the couch, walked across the living room, started stepping over the toys and one moved. It wasn't a toy. Thought it was one of John's toy snakes. Nope it wasn't. It scared the crap out of me. I'm not scared of snakes by any means. Yes I have a respect for them because some of them can kill you with one bite but not this lil' thing. I made Jason pick it up and take care of it.
Found out later that is was just a little ring-necked snake. Interesting snake though. When disturbed, this snake will coil its tail tightly and flip it over to expose a bright red underside. It sometimes feigns death to deter would-be predators. That is exactly what it did. He is now back outside where he belongs and I am still missing a toad. Wish me luck on finding him. If not I've got to replace him.
Name: Audi Home: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States About Me: I was born in Colorado. Lived in Greeley until 2001 and moved to Oklahoma (yes of all places.) I tell people that my car broke down here and I haven't gotten the money to get it fixed. People actually believe me. I miss home but going there every once in a while cures me of that and reminds me of why I left. Though most of my good friends are still there. With the exception of one. She also thought leaving would be a great idea. Though why she left for Washington State is beyond me. Love yah Megs. I also have two wonderful children and a husband that could be counted as a third but I love him too. With them, work and life I just can't seem to keep up, though some how I seem to do a pretty good job at it. See my complete profile
