it's about 15 minutes just shy of putting the little ones away for the night. so…not long here. but the mood has dissipated. partly because of her
Chinche, bedbug in spanish, who has a very low tolerance level for twisted energy. no matter the reason. her way of dealing with it is this….which is asking that i scratch her stomach. which is, in itself, annoying. but she just lays there. until i am compelled to do it. and in requiring that of me, and in me, responding to her, something gets diffused and taken care of.
it was another work away day. i was there for feeding B. lunch which didn't go too well, but…and at her table was Al. who held one single mouthfull of Ensure with his liquid tylenol in his mouth for the entire hour. Sonja, his CNA who was supposed to be feeding him tried everything. i suggested she stroke his throat. it works with baby wild animals and frogs. she did. nope. Al was having a Mood. and i watched this and thought, well that's about exactly how Moods are. Dumb.
after that, i went to the hardware and looked at all the possibilities and came home with a couple different snaps
i don't know if they'll work any better, but i am really TIRED of the baling wire thing. Really tired of it. we'll see. the orange stuff is the string from the bales of grass hay i am using. woven like this, it keeps the babies from hanging themselves in the cattle panel.
Lucky Star and Caroline helped by shoveing and whirling and pushing.
on the way back in to write this, i noticed the Elderberry pot. is this an India Flint pot?….no….don't think so. it's not that kind of Place. so, you see, the Mood is gone, but the bitchyness remains it seems. well…good enough.
and ok. off to do the Just Dark Things. am even a little late.
ADDENDUM: wHAT has been taking maybe almost a half hour, took maybe 13 minutes tonight. so…progress. yes.
