I am at the library on Galahad, and it is becoming increasingly more evident that I have no idea what I'm doing. So I am going to talk about something else, something that is not the fact that I will not have my IA work done by the start of the schoolyear.
Yesterday when I was driving home from work in the truck I hit an indigo bunting. It flew right into the grille of the truck and to make a long story short I am the worst human being in the entire world and I deserve to die.
To-day while I was driving I swerved off the road to avoid hitting a snake. And then I ran back to make sure I had not in fact hit it, and there it was, perfectly alive, still basking in the sun on the road, because it is insane and apparently not aware that most drivers are not me and will actually go out of their way to hit an animal on the road if it is of a snakey nature. So I chased it off the road. It was a beautiful big blacksnake, and it was not at all pleased to have its nap interrupted, but I figure it is better to have me harass it for a moment than to have it squished by the next person who comes along.
(On the subject of the IA things, I suppose at this point I should just give up and do something productive, like the groceries, and worry about it later. I really don't seem to be making any progress, heaven knows.)
(We are pretty sure that a slider has laid its eggs in the vicinity of our pond. That makes me very happy. Little good things are much better than big things that are not going well.)
