There is a pair of turtles that have been together 115 years that is a long time, recently the female apparently has become disillusioned with the relationship. She began biting the males shell, letting him know she was not happy. I wonder what he did to deserve such treatment; did he not clean the home? Did he leave food on the floor? What does one do to deserve shell biting?
It made me think, if a couple has been together for over one hundred years and cannot make the relationship work, then what hope do the rest of us have? Will I eventually begin some aberrant behavior to get rid of my partner? Hopefully I will not bite him; I am not on bath salts, nor a zombie, so I don’t think that will happen. So here is the thing, when we are done, what do we do to drive the other person away? Do we realize we are doing it at the time? I have no answers to these questions, I was just curious.
Tomorrow I am going to Oklahoma for my family reunion, a little nervous, a lot excited and happy to see everyone. I can hardly wait to get going, errands in the morning then I plan to head out around 11:00 am. I don’t know when I am coming back, Saturday or Sunday, still not sure, will pack for both days. Tried to talk Elizabeth Anne into going with me, she said she is not sleeping in a tent. Next year I will plan better and rent a hotel room. It was too late this year and they were wickedly expensive, so earlier in the year book it I will.
Word of the day is altruistic, meaning: unselfishly concerned for or devoted to the welfare of others. Used in a sentence: Today I shall exhibit altruistic behavior in regards to my fiancé and not bite his shell.
Big Doings Ahead
This morning since it is my Friday, I stopped at Starbucks; this one is at Campbell and Central Expressway in Richardson, TX. My experience this morning was horrendous. The pregnant girl at the drive through window was rude, and I had to repeat my order three times before she got it. The she took her time, with the car in front of me and with me, she was purposely slow. She was surly and rude, she probably spit in my iced coffee. I try to avoid this particular Starbucks in the early AM, the midmorning, early afternoon crew is wonderful. They just cannot seem to get the early morning crew to be pleasant, professional and proficient at their job. No early morning recommendation for this Starbucks for the early morning workers.
Yesterday the doctor called in a new medication for the Irishman, it was not a good night, and hopefully this medication will take effect soon and will finally fix the issues. It has been a rough month, not going to lie about that. However, I am hopeful for the future, near and far.
June is going to be a very busy month for me, the very first weekend is the Irishman’s daughters dance recital, and then the following weekend is my family reunion. Then the next weekend is the wedding of a dear friend of mine. So happy I have the middle of the week off, or I would never get errands done! My summer will start with a bang, then July, which is adventure packed as we have the Irishman’s children all month. I have the Wednesdays already planned as it will be me and the girls; I am hoping Tessa can join us for the Wednesday adventures as well.
Well, that’s all I got for now, more later I am sure. Tomorrow is filled with a hair appointment, errands, looking for a shirt to wear to the big Geek Happening and resting for the big day ahead!
