Growing up is hard to do
My lizard died. His name was Giotto after the Italian Renaissance painter. I thought it odd that the first day I go to my Italian Renaissance class is the day my lizard that is named after an Italian Renaissance artist, dies. He was only 5 years old and he's supposed to live to 20. Wtf. I did everything right. I fed him crickets about every other day, I sprayed his cage to keep it humid and so he could drink, I held him so he wouldn't get bored, I kept the light on during the day and off at night... Maybe he was sick. But that's almost even sadder, because how long was he sick for? I went to hold him yesterday morning and I thought he was sleeping...and then he continued not to move in my hand. And I turned him over and said his name even though he's a lizard and doesn't know his name... and then I realized he was dead. I didn't know what to do, I've never had to deal with a dead pet. My parents always dealt with it when I was younger...I guess it's part of growing up, you have to deal with dead animals. Ugh. I couldn't bury him anywhere because I have an apartment, no backyard, but I didn't want to just throw him in the trash, but I didn't know what else to do... I put him in a little box and then threw him in the garbage outside. I felt bad. I did say good bye so it wasn't like I was just taking the trash out. Ugh. It sounds even worse now that I'm writing about it. Maybe I should have gotten him a lizard friend, someone to keep him company. I guess there's not much I can do now. R.I.P. Giotto, I hope you're in lizard paradise.
I'm at work as I type this and I'm thinking...jeez...I kinda wish I had a job where I actually had to think. But then I think well, you're getting paid $14/hour to bullshit. I guess it's not terrible. And once I start my internship it will give me a nice break from monotony. I'm doing an internship at the di Rosa Preserve in Napa. It's a huge area that has an art gallery and sculptures on hiking trails etc, and I get to learn how to take care of it all. (www.dirosapreserve.org) I'm really excited actually. My career seems more tangible and that's exciting and scary all at once.
I guess I should actually work on some filing now...bleh.
