(no subject)
There was a huge storm passing through on Sunday, to the point that I gave my project in the basement just in case the power went out, so I wouldn't be caught in the dark ^^; (See? I get it. I have irrational fear of sudden darkness that I can't control :P) Allan and I sat on the couch and watched... nothing, really, there wasn't much to see. Sometimes, I didn't even see the lightning, but the thunder was unbelievable.
So, as we were sitting there, I happened to look up at the underside of our second-story deck. I had noticed some wasps hanging around the day before, and I figured that they had a nest nearby. Sure enough, stuck up under the deck against the wall, was a nest about the size of a big fist. (my own fist is kinda small lol)
We told our neighbour, who is the assistant manager, and today, the pest people came to spray it :D We have to keep the cats inside for a few hours yet, just in case, and they aren't enjoying it XD
One of Nicole's hermit crabs died :( It was one of the newer ones, too. She's had the first two for almost a year, and the new pair for about a month. I noticed him lying on his back in the food dish with his big claw and some legs hanging out of the opening. She took him out, and he just rattled around inside the shell, and smelt bad to boot. Into the garbage he went (but not before she took him out to see what he looked like. EUGH. Hmm, have an irrational fear of crabs too. They're just so.... crabby @@) and this morning, I found him on the kitchen floor near the cats' food dish ^^;
Buuuut, had bad dreams too. I dreamt that I was living in New York, and the city was being attacked by aliens. Nicole was watching the flying saucer through binoculars and the cats (especially Smudge) were trying to catch it and occasionally they spoke over the radio, and they sounded like they learned english in Boston, but still. Not happy dreams. Woke up and my heart was just pounding :/
