Apathy

Written By: Jenn - Jul• 12•11

I’m not sure if I’m hormonal, or if I have a valid reason to be sad, but sad I am. Feeling a little depressed, too. I can’t pinpoint what the issue is either, so I suspect it’s hormones. Damned hormones.

Gorgeous day outside – hot and humid. Typical Southern Ontario summer day. Hubby is off getting himself a hair cut (which is good because with his auburn hair he was starting to resemble Ronald McDonald, and that is NEVER a good look). I missed a phone call from J-B, and since he’s leaving for a month for the Orient to teach Conversational English with his wife (what an awesome adventure they’ll have!), this depresses me more. He’s not good with emailing when he’s out of town, and I’m going to miss him like crazy. What else is new though? The guy is always traveling the world! Lucky.

Ah… it’s my birthday the 5th anniversary of my 39th birthday coming up next week. Maybe that’s part of it. That, and that I’m pretty sure I’m going to be uncelebrated alone for it. The Teen will be working, and Hubby works long hours wed-sat so Friday will see me sitting home in roughly the same spot I’m in as I write this. Probably with Facebook and Pinterest, my new time-wasting addiction, open in a few windows as I also take care of business. Ho hum.

I think I’m feeling a little UN. Unloved, unappreciated, unwanted…

Yep. Hormones.

 

I hate chipmunks

Oh I know, they’re very cute and furry.

 

Who couldn’t love a face like this?

Aren't I just adorable??

Aren't I just adorable??

Know what I love even more than very cute little furry critters with big shiny eyes?

Sleep. I really like sleep. Nay! Rather I LOVE sleep, and I don’t ever get enough of it.

So when this loathesome little creature perches itself outside my bedroom window at 5am and starts its unending peeping – which is very birdlike in that it’s a high pitched, clear-as-a-bell and unbelievably loud – it’s like daggers to my ears. It tears me away from wonderful dreams. It pierces me to my very core. It pisses. me. off.

What’s worse is that we have at least 3 colonies of them living on the property, and that means dozens. We’ve never had this many before.

They’ve gotta go.

Heading to Home Depot in a little while to pick up some hot pepper wax spray for their perching and high travel areas, and maybe one of those motion sensor owls too. Oh, and will check out humane traps also… I don’t want them dead, just relocated! I’m not homicidal. Yet.

I’m so very very tired. And yes, I realize that I’ve used the word “very” quite a bit in this post, and while that would normally upset the writer in me for its overuse… I’m too tired to care, and you’re just gonna hafta deal.

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

This week’s theme is: Freestyle – whatever you want to write about

    So many changes
    Hold on to what is most dear
    Move on from the rest

All this smut TV
“Reality”? Oh hell no!
Worry for the kids

    Too many pet peeves
    I’m moving to an island!
    (with my internet..?)

Time to shake it up
Live well, get rid of the chaff
Get up and do it!

Folks, a quick note about comments: I do visit everyone, but a few of you don’t have Name/URL enabled on your blogs, and I CAN’T comment in that case. Take a moment to enable that, will you? There are other ways to combat spam and still allow people with their own domains to leave their homage to your greatness ;)

Next week’s theme: Wish(es)


Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List (if you’re not listed and should be, please let me know!)

To participate in this week’s event, please use the following code in your post on your own blog (if you don’t have a blog, post your Haiku as a comment):
