Do you have any? I don't any more. Lately it seems like people just don't have hearts at all. Everyone's out for themselves. Of course, we're all like that to a certain extent, but I've noticed more and more that some people just don't give a damn about anything BUT number one. It's very disheartening. Joel and I were at a park a few days ago taking photos. I noticed this group of cute, little ducks about to go into the water. I nudge closer and closer to them to snap some photos, when I hear a kid say, "hit him with a stick". And his brother throws a stick and hits this poor duck. I was about to lower my camera and holler at him when this other lady did it first. I know kids will be kids, but stuff like that just gets to me. Later, Joel walks up to me and says he saw another teen trying to kick a squirrel! WTF, people! What's wrong with humans!? This beautiful wildlife is just minding their own business, living their lives in this awesome park, and assholes take it upon themselves to hurt them? And these teens weren't alone. They have their parents watching over them. Not only this day and these kids, though. That's just an example of what happens all the time to make me lose faith in humanity. I see it on a daily basis. Whether it's online, in stores, hearing about it, or witnessing it for myself in person from people I thought knew better. *sigh* It's been a sorry couple of weeks I guess you could say, but it's really taking its tole on my spirit all together. All I can do is try my best to be a decent person I guess. No one is perfect, but still....
In other news, Penny was sitting in my lap earlier and I saw a FLEA on her! Yikes! I knew it was past time for her Revolution, but even so....I haven't seen a flea around here in forever! Even before she was on Revolution she didn't have a problem except once when I took her to my parents' house. They have sand that apparently attracts fleas? I didn't know sand did that, but I suppose it does. Anyway, I applied her Revolution right away. She's been playing outside a lot more lately with the nice weather we've been having. I guess I should have been quicker. The cooler weather has brought about another problem with Penny, too. Penny is potty trained now. However, we didn't have her this time last year when we were able to open the doors and windows to let the air in. Now that it's cooler out we've started doing that again. Which means we leave the sliding glass door open to the screen room. Well, I think she has confused that with outside because she's been "going" in the screen room. I'll walk out there to get a little fresh air only to be hit in the face with not-so-fresh air. lol I guess I can see where she'd be a little confused. Anyway, we're working on it and she's getting a little better about it. I've had to start saying "OUTSIDE" when we walk out the door to outside FROM the screen room and not just out the front door. That probably doesn't seem to make since seeing how you all can't see the way our house is set up, but Penny only knows the "outside" word for the front door. That's OUR bad, not hers.
Oh, and that's not the only Penny news. lol She has started barking at me every time she wants to nap. She's too long to sit comfortably in my lap while I'm at my desk, so she wants me to go to the couch. This happens when I'm not at my desk now, too. If I'm doing anything other than sitting on the couch when Penny decides it's nap time, I get barked at until I go sit on the couch. It's hilarious, really. She really is like a baby. A spoiled baby, at that! She definitely isn't hurting for attention.
The photos that we took at the park are on my desktop computer. I'm in bed and typing this from my laptop. I've been getting to bed early lately. I got in bed at 12:30 tonight. That's very early to me. Of course I've been laying her on the computer for the past hour, but it still counts. I'm just warming up the bed for when I really want to snooze. lol That's my excuse. Anyway, if I type my next entry from my desktop I'll show some of the photos I took.
I haven't really felt great lately. I have a terrible back ache at the moment. I don't know if I hurt my back or if it's part of the RA, but it sucks either way. I've been rubbing Myoflex on it. It helps for a little while. I don't even feel like sitting at my desktop much. All I feel like doing is laying down. Hey, at least Penny's happy with that. lol She loves to snuggle.
I guess I should go. I'm pretty much out of topics. I might edit a few old photos that are on this computer just to get some Photoshop time in. Then I'll nod off. Have a good one.
