Making It Up As I Go Along #482

Lady Killers

Who knew there were biting Lady Bugs?

So dainty and sweet

Gently ambling along a flower

Slowly crawling a blade of grass

Perching upon your finger

Or sunning itself atop your shoulder

But biters? Can it be?

An Asian strain

Orange instead of red

Ferocious beasts they say

Python like images come to mind,

Both the comedy Monty and swallowing snake.

I’ve seen them and now feel lucky to be alive

But they looked the same

Yes orange and not red

But in the Obama world

I didn’t dream race would matter

So naïve of me to think

Racial harmony lived

In the land of bugs.

THURSDAY…

--- Day shift.  Rainy day and busy on the SICAR (shoe impression) program. 

--- New house is coming along… Outside is now done and workers were all over it when I drove by.

FRIDAY…

--- Feeling iffy on day shift.  After lunch I improve though.

--- Rush off to physio from work and rush off to Telus after Physio.  Blackberry is done and retired… iPhone is in.

SATURDAY…

--- Up just before noon.  Feeling like hit by a truck.  But that picks up after shower and some food.

--- Get Nick and go to Jenn’s house warming… while my house is showing… no afternoon nap for me today.

--- Supper with Nick and Melissa and then off to work.  Quiet night… pretty much only a tire track and a few shoes to look at.

SUNDAY…

--- Good sleep and feeling better.  A little TV… a good nap… and off to work.  Quiet night.

MONDAY…

--- Quiet day.  Out of bed shortly after noon.  Some TV and computer time with a fairly cool rainy day outside.

TUESDAY…

--- Physio… just overall weak today.  Doesn’t hurt anything but both right and left shoulder exercises tire things out quickly.

--- Showing of the house in the evening.  Walk the pond for a lap, get groceries, and talking to mom and dad on the phone while I wait.

--- Play around some with the new phone.  It’s quite good at taking dictation.  For e-mails, texts, whatever.  It does it pretty well.  But FaceTime doesn’t work with Sam… not sure why.

WEDNESDAY…

--- Quiet day.  Sleep in a bit… walk the pond… taking pictures and videos with the new iPhone.  Pretty impressive.
