Quarantined Day #5

No results yet! Martha got her results and thank goodness they were negative.  I'm sure mine will be coming along soon. We were tested at different sites. Remember her site hunted for her G-spot whereas mine went so far up my nose it tickled my tonsils then they slapped my ass and sent me on my way to be happily quarantined so I'm sure that has some effect on the delay in getting my results. I feel fine, but waiting to be told that I'm fine is difficult. I've been staying busy with outside projects mostly. The other day I put fire ant bait out because the fire ants are trying to take over my yard and one of my little dogs keeps getting bit by them. If you never have had the pleasure of meeting a fire ant, you're lucky. They're truly miserable little creatures and the bait didn't seem to work, so today I dumped some gasoline on them...take that you little bastards! Bite my baby again and I'll light a match next time and set the whole yard on fire. ooops! I hate when that happens!

Today, I got a little sidetracked with talking and chatting and texting with old friends. I think that type of interaction is more important than me getting out in my backyard and cutting down a tree or planting something here and there. The first person I interacted with was an old blogging buddy from my days back when MSN Spaces first opened their doors in 2004. We chatted for quite awhile and it was good catching up with her. I was glad to find out that she's still writing and that she's doing well. My second friend I chatted with was an old neighborhood friend from back in the day when Mildred was but a twig on the tree of life. Again, we caught up and all is well on the home front. The last person I started texting with was an old friend from my Kinsman Hall days... good old "Doctor Detroit".  He lives next-door to the virulent cesspool known as New York. I just wanted to make sure he was okay and I ended up talking to him for hours and hours and hours. And yes, we talked about important stuff like partridges in pear trees and child birth and conspiracy theories. 

In between chats and conversations and texts I managed to drop a tree. Imagine that! When I got a good look at the wall behind the tree it screamed PAINT A MURAL ON ME! So, I decided to paint a mural on that wall. Now, all I have to do is decide what to paint. I believe it HAS to be something to do with a partridge in a pear tree, but that's always subject to change. I'll mull it over and post a picture of the finished product in a decade or two. Right now, I'm going to bed. I'm really tired. I was really tired last night, also. In fact, I went to bed around 9 and I never do that. I must be getting old or something. I guess it happens to the best of us.

  1. I do Hope your Test comes back Negative, the suspense would be so hard waiting tho'! I want to set a lot of things on Fire lately, luckily I can't find the Matches... Catching up with Old Friends is always a Joy... so many of mine are Dead now so just if I discover any Alive I'm thrilled actually.

    1. Another night owl, I see! I didn't realize it was as late as it is until I just looked at the clock and I HATE clocks. I have many friends who have passed away also...mostly to drug overdoses when they were much younger. Catching up is a real joy and I'm always so happy when a person is doing well. It's nice to hear an old friend laugh. And it's nice to hear a new friend laugh. It's just nice to hear laughter period. There's not enough of it in the world today unless you're in my backyard and then there's a lot of laughter and a lot of Mildred making a fool of herself.

  2. I've never had the pleasure of meeting a fire ant. But with climate change pushing the temps up, they might be on their way here.

    1. Oh, you're so bad but I have a fire ant story about them swarming me when I worked for a construction company when I was 19 years old. Maybe I'll write that blog post someday with Cecil sitting on my shoulder as long as he promises not to poop on me.

    1. It's always a nice day in the neighborhood when it's a blue sky sunny day coronavirus or not.

  5. Hope you get your results soon and negative. I'm not sure what fire ants are but I hear they are nasty. Probably why YouTube is filled with people trying all kinds of brutal ways to destroy the nests.

    1. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever get them back...

      They are beyond nasty. Whatever that is. I don't think there is a way too destroy them because they tunnel so deep and they just move from place to place. Sneaky little bastards!
