Waking up today was torture. I must have hit snooze 10 times. I tried to go to bed early last night (well, early-ish anyway), but ended up reading instead because i was finding it hard to fall asleep. On top of all this i have come down with a scratchy throat in the last two days which i am certain is going to mutate into a killer strain of bird flu. Decimating the human population would be just my luck.
I thought i was finally starting to cope with the bizarro walk to work, when just this morning something i've never seen and will probably never see again, happened. As i was passing under a tree i heard a racket. I looked over and saw a squirrel running around on the sidewalk. Being my nature to harass squirrels, i stopped to, well harass it. When suddenly i heard a loud THUD! I turned around to see another squirrel falling out of the tree above my head. "JESUS CHRIST!" i screamed, as i dropped my bag, ducked, and covered my head. I regained my composure long enough to ascertain that, in fact, a squirrel had really just fallen out of the sky. Then i looked up and saw another squirrel in the tree THAT HAD PUSHED THE SECOND SQUIRREL OUT OF THE NEST. I don't know if they were playing or fighting or what, but man, what a nose dive. The fatty shook off its stunned look and ran back up the tree when the suddenly "THUD!"
THe fucker knocked him out of the tree again. I think they were actually laughing at it. What freaks.
