Feeling anxious, unsettled, unable to get anything accomplished.

Imagine treating your child like a person.

 Two hawks, three feet apart on a power line, hunting. Bongo in my face for attention, licks my nose every time i look at him. Flurries when we walk out of Wegman's. A good IPA from Other Half Brewing. Excellent conversation. Laughter and just being together.

Moonset/Sunrise

Toggling between joy at the beauty of everything and the abject horror of human hubris.

Good coffee

Awoke from numerous dreams to a gorgeous sunrise. Feeling slightly out of sorts mentally, but i pull it together for the most part as the morning progresses. 

Moonday

 Driving to Ocelot Brewery today, I had two wonderful things happen. First, saw 5 pheasants flush across the road before, and after me. Beautiful! Then, on Braddock Road, i saw a bald eagle. Wait, make that three things, because when i got to the brewery, Noel was working, and i got to tell her all the things! Felt so much happiness, did some good writing. Came home and split some more firewood. Astounding Moonrise. Venus and Saturn in the West. Gorgeous evening.

morning coffee

The rising Sun casts woodsmoke shadows on the maple tree, a woodpecker taps for food, a squirrel runs around the trunk. 

dream segment

 I am walking across the parking lot to go into the store because i need to do a return of the Honeycomb cereal bag i carry in my hand. I steer wide past the event that is occurring in the parking lot because it is work related. My co-workers are involved in a water-dunking type thing where they try to drop Rick into the water, some of them call out to me, but i keep walking to go inside. I am on vacation, and do not want to be seen, so wonder why i have come here! Once there at the customer service desk, i am next in line. Two Lewis brothers are working the desk. They are not trained do so. The person in front of me is also trying to get a refund. The brothers see me in line and call out to me to come help them. Heavy sigh, but i do so. As i begin to show them what to do, i quickly realize that the entire system has been changed while i was on vacation. The customer we are trying to help is a pharmacy employee, and she begins to try to tell us what to do. It is not helpful. The screen slides all around, not letting us hit on the areas we need. It is so frustrating!! Finally we achieve some sort of goal, and we give her a refund. I go get back in line. Dreading whatever comes next with my refund! As i am standing there waiting, Kyle comes over and leans into me to see how i am doing.

"How was your vacation?"

 I have gone completely feral this week.
