I don't really need to be able to move...

It's weird having everyone worried about me. I hated coming to mom's after work and being scared to open the door, unsure I would find the house empty. Especially since I realized my sister (no doubt deliberately) left the sliding glass door unlocked.

I took pictures of my bruises and the swelling of my right shin. Honestly, the thigh hurts more than the shin - it's a muscle that moves more in walking. The shin is sharp pain when it does bump something, but that happens less readily.

I don't expect to do anything with the pictures. But she told her dad I attacked her. And I want to see her evidence. Bite me. She may be tough, but I am strong and I am clever.

I saw a praying mantis at work today. It was just this white bug on the floor, long and narrow, and I was about to squish it, but to do so I had to bend over to take off my shoe. I have this thing - my work shoes are ballet flats, so I can't wear them when killing bugs because a fast one might crawl across my foot. And I looked and saw it wasn't a centipede or a spider or any bugs I'd seen before. Then I took in the head shape and the way the front legs were bent and felt some awe. I had no idea they could be little 2 inch long white fellas. I wanted to keep it.

I love this song. It makes me amused.
