got a lot done today. woke up ungodly early and felt like a dessicated carcass bc i'd stayed up until 2:30 talking to Bird on skype hahaha. [100% worth it] groggily drove all the way to Monroe to get the car looked at. then bb and i went to bojangles and then the dam, to pass the time.
while there, we saw a few things: a guy catch a fish, a turtle poking its snoot out from the water and then pulling it back down and crawling along the surface looking for food, and most remarkably, a pair of nesting canada geese! we first saw the one who was sleeping on a log across from us, and we wondered if it was okay. then with a shock we noticed the second one just fifteen feet away from us, sitting on a nest. i crept closer and she didn't budge, didn't lift her head or hiss or seem disturbed in any way. just sat still and calm on her nest and watched me with one beady eye. it was beautiful. i got three feet away from her before she finally started to make the tiniest movements of her head to suggest she might flee, which i didn't want even though i would have loved to see those eggs or babies. [i didn't however want to get my ass beat too awful much lmfao] she was sooo calm and beautiful and i felt so blessed. it was like the lake had missed my presence, and led me to a beautiful little gift as a reward for coming to visit.
it's been kind of a long stressful day for everyone haha. we did get my car worked on and it was a hefty sum, but maybe not as bad as i was expecting. AND we even got it inspected at the same place, another thing i didn't expect... although the inspection says union county, and i made sure to mention that i was in a different county now just in case that mattered and he said he was able to inspect for all counties in the state.... hopefully that won't matter much or else that's 30 bucks down the pooper! the car did stall on the ride home though, which was a bit stressful, but it started right up again like it always does, so. we didn't address that issue, just got the power steering leak corrected and fixed the horn problem that it's had literally since i got it three years ago LOL. so now THE HORN WORKS AND THE CLOCK DISPLAYS. amazing. it was just a bad ground somewhere, which is pretty much what i expected. so the only thing left to get done is renew my property tax and/or registration i guess?? and figure out how to inform the powers that be that i'm in a new county now?? i have until mid may though so it's not a huge rush.
ya that's about it. i should have stopped sleeping at 7 but i kept going and woke up mid sleep cycle i think, bc i WAS feeling rested but now i feel tired again LOL. ain't that some shit. but it's a short work night tonight [although it's bullshit that i even have to work tonight this is always my day off aaahhhh] so hopefully it will be chill and relatively painless. [also i kept falling asleep and dreaming about talking to Bird help me im large trash]
