After my coffee, I started working in the back yard. I attacked the pythons of blackberries, except these had teeth disguised as thorns. I managed to make it without being lunged upon as my pythons usually do. My anorexic back yard looks so sad without green grass.
I had a bus appointment at 1:30, delivering Lizzie and the new stereo. While installation took place, I went to REI with my $100 gift card from Olivia. I couldn't find a damn thing. The clothes are ridiculous: $70+ dollars for clothes made by the same folks who make "cheap" clothes. Such bullshit. Sunglasses? I just bought 2 pair at Target. I came close to buying a dishwasher stand for $49, but why? I'll use a bucket. So my card is unused...maybe next time. Headed over to Ulta for the ONE makeup item I by there..and they no longer carry it. Of course not. So back to Best Buy and their clusters of staff who congregate freely with each other yet I usually have a difficult time finding someone to help me. Bus was ready and after about 15 attempts to sync Bluetooth, It Was Done. It was great listening to Led Zeppelin on the way back up (did I mention it took days <literally> to get the Mazda hooked up? Tech hates me and the feeling is mutual).
I dropped by HD to buy an 18 v battery for the recip saw...I have plans to cut up the pallets. After a bit of a hiccup, I did well until my John- Dillenger-melting-off-of-the-fingerprints when I touched the blade. I should think first. The blade snapped off as I was finishing a pallet, so I took that as A Sign to stop. I took the pups for a walk as a cooked brown rice, then I made some Indian food for dinner. After changing Violet's substrate, I grabbed the headlamp and some water, and we headed into them thar hills.
As mentioned before, I should think first. I zip into those tiny little dirt roads in the Mazda as if she is a 4-wheel-drive and could easily get stuck. There was a precarious moment in a very steep area, but we made it out. My night hike plans ended up being a Mosquito-dinner-time hike. They consumed my blood voraciously. Still, I was determined. And quickly, disgusted. Goddamn target shooters! Clean up your fucking mess! I am so disgusted by these people and the messes left are why. You can't clean up your damn trash and then whine like a sissy when it is insinuated that you aren't responsible. Proof is in the pudding, asshole. I watched the moon appear with Venus and Jupiter, forming a beautiful triangle. There's a message in that, you know....
Pictures - In Classic Ali form, the pictures won't go where I am trying to place them, so enjoy them on the (mostly) right side tonight: Gift card from Olivia - my sister rocks; The night sky; Lizzie getting her tunes installed; The circle of life, tarantula substrate form - from tank, to keeping Daisy happy; The "glory" of our 2nd amendment and the biggest reason why I'm a tree-hugger.
