| | Ok, I’m currently listening to John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to change” on repeat.
I just finished watching the series “Undeclared.” Why does Fox cancel the best shows after one season? Maybe cuz I didn’t watch them when they were on TV. Like Wonderfalls, it’s a good little show that they should have made more of.
It has been completely gray the last three days. It’s rained a little, but this isn’t typical Austin Spring. It’s that hot, humid gray the Gulf Coast sees a lot of. It makes you feel dirty to go outside. It’s good for the skin though.
I spent over an hour last night exploring Kyle. I want a house. I want I want I want. That seems like the place where I should buy in a few years when I get ready. It’s far enough South to not be affected by the Southeast Austin slums. It’s also getting ready for a lot of big retail projects to open including the newest HEB Plus. I love those stores!! It has a cute little downtown and it’s halfway between UT and Texas State which would be great for when I decide to go back to college for a PhD or a diagnostician license. Either way it seems full of potential.
I see it as an area that is way under priced and will make big gains in the next decade. Yay for my obsession with real estate! It may pay off someday.
This week I am not going to take a day off. As easy as it would be I want to just have one last normal week. Plus I organized a catered lunch for the teachers on Wednesday, a big retirement party on Thursday and our staff end of the year party on Friday afternoon. It’s fun to see these calm older ladies get sloshed at the crab shack.
So I’m not going to even think about next year this week. I am going to do the whole be still and know thing.
Today I went to the wells branch trail and it was totally empty. Rare for a Sunday afternoon but I did enjoy having the whole of nature to myself. Friday I was walking there around the lake when I saw this pack of ducks (what’s a pack of ducks called??) all around this dirty white duck. They were jumping on him and pecking. I got closer and noticed he had little specks of grass all over him and they were trying to fight him. Er so I surmised.
I know what it’s like to be the discolored duck and I don’t like it. It’s not a fair fight to have six big brown ducks on you. So I shooed them off and they got mad at me and started quacking or squawking or whatever ducks do. The dirty white one went behind me and hid out, preening himself (or herself for all I know). Finally the other ducks got bored and went back into the lake. I felt accomplished.
I don’t understand the significance to this avian chapter of my life. I’m not a bird person but I keep seeing and interacting with birds, daily. The Wrens are hatched and have left my patio. There is one small white egg that didn’t make it. I left it in the nest and left the nest undisturbed hoping against hope.
The swallows are unrelenting of their nest on my patio. They refuse to leave and they freak out when I try to go outside. They were crapping all over my patio until I put a giant corn plant under their nest. Now they don’t do it and my corn plant which was dead has come back to life. Maybe it is like Jesus plant, my other plant that was dead and is now back. I think my fichus is down for the count.
