i see dead animals
Sep. 1st, 2015 12:11 amSunday morning I went out to my car, and was blocked by a wasp hovering in the place where I need to squeeze past my car and a metal pole. (I park underneath a neighbors deck. It's dark and narrow). I decided discretion was the better part of valor, etc, and eventually elected to walk behind my car instead. (also a bit of a squeeze.)
I was about to step around the corner of my bumper when I spied a bit of white on the ground. There was one of the neighborhood cats lying just in the shadow of my car. Unfortunately, this was a cat that will never get within 20 feet of a human, and he wasn't moving. And then I saw the flies.
I realized I was at the end of my cope, went back to the front of my car where the wasp was still hovering, and so instead got in the passenger side of my car and climbed over the gearshift. And drove off. I parked in dupont near the farmers market, and starting up the street saw, motionless and vacant, one of the largest cicadas I've seen in a decade.
Later, walking to my hair appointment, I looked down in time to dodge around the dead bird on the sidewalk.
Not really sure what Sunday was trying to tell me.
I ended up leaving my car out at Nick's parents place, and attended to the cat today. Namo amituofo. I guess I'm happy that even if he never let me near him in life, he deemed my car to be a safe place to nap and breathe his last?

Sunday I also booked my trip out to CA next month to help shields get hitched. Now I just have to figure out what to wear. The good news is that the dress I bought for Pia's wedding will likely be just fine even if I gain or lose weight; I just need to find a good bra to wear with it and get the dress cleaned. I had my hair dyed a dark plummy red, which should go well with navy.
