Potential Trouble

The Garage!
On silent feet, I moved quickly from the living room to the doorway, slipping inside.
Cautiously I crept forward to the old door, straining my ears to hear.
Hear the voices outside.
Taking slow breaths, I closed my eyes, letting the rest of the world fall away so I could focus on those voices.
Why were those two gathering in front of my house?
Why had they been yelling at the neighbor next door?
I frowned, pressing my ear against the warped side, straining to hear, my eyes opening, straining to see through the darkness to the figures a dozen yards away from me.

"Cars......Cops.....Of course...."
I pushed back with a grimace of disgust.
For it being late at night, the traffic on the road outside seemed constant, the whirr of car engines drowning out the stranger's voices. No good.
I'd have to get closer.

Unwilling to Understand

It was the woman on the phone.

I had to call one of our adoption partners today at work.
To let her know that our other adoption partner had been delayed today in picking up her cats from  us because she was sick. So she wouldn't be able to come in and bring her cats to us just yet.

I expected her to be understanding of the situation.
After all. Our other adoption partner lives three hours away from us.
The woman on the phone lived in the valley. So a near drive.

But she wasn't happy at all.
It's 'her month'
'her time'
'That group always over stays and I end up with a short month!'
"what am I supposed to do with the cats! I was going to bring them up today, now they have to go back to the shelter!"
"I'm very unhappy with this! You let Head Manager know that I'm very upset!"
"I want my cats in there by Thursday!"

Can you tell that it wasn't a fun 15 minute phone call.
Because it wasn't fun at all.

Her negative energy was strongly emanating over the phone.
Which I did not like at all.
It was just stressful overall.
And left a bad feeling hanging over me.

*exhales*
So I ended up with a tension headache.
Thankfully, I was able to get rid of it before I left work, with some meds and some pressure points.

But it didn't leave me with good feelings towards the Adoption Partner.
I'm trying to stay away from Negative Energy, I don't need people bringing it to me.

Pondside Memories

It used to be our spot. This bench by the pond.
I sat down with a quiet sigh, holding onto the brown paper bag.
I missed our time together, here. Watching the birds squabble over the small pieces of bread or crackers that we tossed to them.
But that time was long gone. We no longer had the same bond.
Still...that didn't mean I didn't miss it.
I reached into the bag, grabbing a handful of bread crumbs, and tossed them towards the ducks in the nearby pond.
It wasn't the same....

Screen Time

It was probably staying up late.

You see, on my days off of work, I like to stay up late that night.
Because I'm a night owl at heart. So being in the darkness is amazing and usually keeps me awake.
It also helped that I'm obsessed with a show right now, so I stayed up late to watch bits of it.

Before falling asleep.
To wake up like 6 hours later to watch another episode or so before going to church.
A new church.
A new ward.
Which in of itself is stressful.

Then not take a long enough nap.
And go watch more things....

It's no surprise that I now have an ache behind my eyes that demands I rest.

Hopefully it doesn't resolve into a real headache and stays at the 'threatening' stage before going away.

If I Ever -Antisocial

If I ever build my own house.

I'm totally going to build secret passage ways.

So that I can access different areas of my house without having to go through other rooms in the house, that may have occupants in it.

That way I can sneak from my room without disturbing others in the house. And go to the kitchen without being seen or end up in the living room without having to be seen.

I'm totally going to have a secret ladder as well, to access the upstairs and downstairs without going through public spaces as well.

Yah...secret passages all over!! Secret rooms!

All designed to avoid other people. lol

On to Victory

I adjusted my stride, taking longer ones as I ran up the hill, climbing as quickly as I could to reach the top, to see the marker, to continue on with the race.

"No fair!" A young man behind me called. "We can't have girls running in this race! You should quit now."

I glowered at him, wishing I could punch him. Girls could do whatever they wanted thank you very much. "Not going to." I said, shortly before taking off at a dead run down the hill. I would make sure to beat him. There would be no way now he'd catch me.

Case Closed

I suppose it's only natural, that after hours of watching a show in a foreign language.
Where you have to read the subtitles.
And pay attention to things or else you have no idea what's going on.
My eyes would get a bit strained.
My shoulders would get a bit tense.

Still.
It is rather annoying that a headache resulted from it.
>.< As I really wanted to continue watching more episodes of that show.
But had to stop before the headache got any worse.

Unfortunately....I didn't stop soon enough....
It wasn't a restful night for sure.
