Today I...

Today I was on my way home from picking up my nephew from work, when five white-tailed bucks sprinted across the highway. Luckily no one hit any of them, not even a graze. As the rest of traffic resumed, my nephew and I watched, along with another vehicle, the bucks make for the woods, all but one.

The one buck that didn't, was the largest of the five, and had probably an 8 or 10 point rack. He ran in a different direction, heading toward a farmer's house and barn. We watched him run, then stop just short of the farmer's yard.

The buck tossed his head, and looked like he wanted to charge something - anything - anyone. He pawed at the ground, swung his body to and fro and then much to the shock of my nephew, myself and the other people watching the display, the buck dropped dead.

I kid you not - he just dropped to the ground and lay there. Both the other vehicle and I turned our car around and parked in the farmer's drive-way. The other vehicle was ahead of me, and went to find the farmer, while I spoke with the passenger of the other vehicle.

We both wanted the same thing - - - believe it or not, to let the farmer know so he could process the kill - if he so chose to.

The driver of the other vehicle, came back and the farmer gave him the buck. lol

There are positives to this story - one being that the deer will not go to waste and my spouse doesn't have to process a deer.

But also, after talking to my dad, he said that there is always the chance that the deer died not just from a heart attack or stroke, but also was already sick with a disease and was running a fever. You can always count on my dad to put a positive spin on something. lol

Also though that it would not look good for me to bring home a deer, with no damage done to it, except fright and show my husband that I can bring home the meat without a gun and he's yet to bag a deer. So peace remains pretty solid in the house tonight. lol

Today I read this little snippet of a story and remembered anew some of the things that make you such a special person. The way you phrase, the perspective you bring and even just the hint of clouds that cover portions of you.

Today I remembered again just how automatic your writing talent is.

Today I wanted to remind you of that. And now I have.

:kiss:

Today I am glad to have shared the story and I appreciate you kind words. :kiss:
 
Today I have decided not to go to the biggest game in the country tonight...:cool:
 
Today I realized that my friendship and company meant nothing and is easily cast aside, for some. :cool:
 
Today I decorated a lot of cakes. I had the inevitable "ugly" cake, and then... Then the "great" cake - which I still feel good about, and 20 inbetween .. having way too much fun.

Seriously.

Laughing at my own jokes now. Maybe, just maybe I need something else....
 
Today I will lift you up for being the only you that you can be. No one else can be you but you. So a tender smile is sent to you for just you.
 
Today I was unable to get the nap, which is needed, if I take one now, I'll be up way too early in the morning.

Today I was disheartened to see that my nephew just doesn't get the exhaustion I am feeling and when he landed the job 2 min. away, he accepted it - which is great - but he also worked out a deal to work 1st shift at the other job that is 40 min. away - so I am still driving him - *sigh* April 6th. . . Please arrive soon.

Today I bought cans of beef stew instead of making it from scratch - I didn't want to cook. lol
 
today i worked a full day instead of a half of one. i had an exhausting phone conversation with someone today - but i didn't let her destroy my patience. it took her a moment (and me gently reminding her) that she wasn't listening to me.

today i had a really great bowl of chicken pho (pho ga) at this Vietnamese restaurant. it was my first time eating there, but definitely not my last.
 
Today I spent the day sick and had a chat with a friend that was fun and sexy. Also chatted with someone who makes me smile:)

Today I was again reminded of the incompetence and failure of some of those I work with.

Today I received notice of a phone interview on Thursday

Today I made the final decision to just not care any more and do my job without offering advice or making recommendations

Today I was again reminded of why I like to do things on my own rather than rely on someone else doing their job correctly in the first place
 
Today I am taking a skip through the boards while it's quiet then hitting the shops and lunch with a friend. Happy days :)
