omg what a day.
i was not feeling good at all. joints ached, back hurt. coming back from work all i wanted to do was soak in the tub. nice and relaxed afterwards but began to get a fever and stomach felt odd. right away ate some garlic (2 cloves). yh its nasty and u get bad breath but it works right away. my fever went down in mins. and my stomach started feeling better. i knew i had to sleep despite the urgency to finish homework. i have a test due by friday, yet have not finished the review for it. i have not even started on the homework for this week. however, i knew if i did not rest i would be much worse off and more than likely have more than one day of not studying. so it was better to skip tonite and just sleep. woke up an hour later feeling alright. i thought i could get some homework done. nope. instead, my lil dog Logan decides to dig around the ravine and rouse up a nest of fire ants. i dont know how my mom saw them from that long of a distance (near 20ft). i couldnt see them at all. luckily the dumb dog knows when the door opens one of us comes out. he sprinted over to me and i right away brought him in. since he's such an energetic and playful dog, well, lets just say those few hrs of studying went down the drain. with a mom that gets high strung in a hurry, every lil movement or sniff made her think Logan was going to poop or pee there. while i watched/played with Logan, i tried my best to do some studying but have only managed to finish a 4 part problem. sigh. as for the ant problem, dad bought some powerful dust to spread around in the area. it smelled weird. dad spread it all over the ravine in the backyard. in one area, there were a few hanging around still. i thought they slept at nite. right when the powder landed on them, they swarmed around in a frenzy as if being attacked and wanting to know from where. dad was brave or stupid. he literally walked into the ravine with them around. i thought he was nuts. anyway, supposedly this poison dust will kill the queen. hopefully it works. as for Logan, i hooked up 3 dog leashes together and tied him to the back screen door. he cant reach the poison and the ants cant reach him so thank g-d for that. now i barely got on and decided to type about my day. i thought i'd be annoyed and frustrated for having my study time totally screwed up. i'm actually proud that i didnt let the day bother me. things happen, our plans change, but i will recall what a teacher told me: remain cool and expect change.
