Creepy

I took Adventure Buddy to the Butterfly House.  Adventure Buddy always says courage is a virtue and you get virtue by doing virtuous things.  So if I want to be courageous, I have to do courageous things.

At the Butterfly House, you now have the opportunity to feed roaches.  They stay in their cage by the way.  There are hundreds of them in the cage.  You just drop the flakes into the cage.  Then they swarm and make chittering, creepy bug noises.

Ugh.

I'm not feeling courageous.  I'm feeling the need to wash with bleach.

Depressed

I was reading this article about a woman who was depressed.  I found myself nodding along.

I'm having a hard time getting out of bed now.  I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons to get out of bed or to stay out of bed.  It's what I miss about having a dog.  I had to get up or I wasn't going to like what happened next.  The smell of dog pee doesn't really help the depressed state.  Especially when you know if you don't take said puppy out, you'll have lots more work you don't want to deal with.  Or, if you have irritability issues, know that you will most likely yell at said puppy for your laziness.  Better just to get out of bed and take puppy outside.

I'm almost positive now I'm suffering from PMDD, which is premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

Last week was the perfect example.

On Monday, I went to the doctor, who told me there was nothing wrong with me that losing weight won't cure.  Normally I just roll my eyes.  That day, I just cried all day and I was irrational.  I was quarrelsome as well.  It was just awful.  I was like stop being crazy and I like couldn't stop.  By Wednesday I had stopped crying all the time but was still unhappy.  I started my period on Friday and was fine.  

I'm wondering now if that's what the problem has been all along...

My Fortune

I've been cleaning off the desk my family's computer sits on.  It was thoroughly disgusting and I have nothing better to do....

I found a stack of fortunes from fortune cookies.  I thought I'd post them...

You will win success in whatever you attempt.

You will have many friends when you need them.

Your first choice will bet the wisest to follow at this time.

You will soon get something special because of your charm.

Others love your dramatic side.  

You will be unusually successful in an entertainment career.

Your present plans are going to succeed.

This Offends Me

Tongue Flower I can't decide what's wrong with this image. The focus is a bit off, but I didn't take any more pictures of it to correct focus. The image is wrong somehow.

Which Crop?

I can't decide...
Should I crop the image or not?

This is the crop with the focus on the petal with water drops.

This is the full image.

Should I crop somewhere else?

Money (That's What I Want)

Peach Pie

I was at a Farmer's Market and was able to get some bruised peaches on the cheap.  There's only one thing to do with bruised peaches...make peach pie!
