MONKEYS

As I was leaving school today, I noticed a small group of baby monkeys. They were so cute and little! Not at all like the big scary monkeys I usually see in the road, which is just before I fear for my life… normally, anyway.

So I admired the babies, but then I looked to my left and saw that there was another group of mother monkeys. Big, mean mother monkeys. I immediately made the mistake of looking them all dead in the eye. To which they replied with SCREAMS OF ANGER. I fled… then realizing I still had to get to my car and go home!

So I ran for it! The screams kept up behind me, but nothing ever chased/killed/ate me in the end, so it was lucky.

I then hopped in the junk-mobile and it managed to die twice before I got out of the parking lot. I am going to rent a car until the summer, and then I am going to buy a car off of a leaving JET. My mind is made up. I am tired of the little car that couldn’t.

In better news, Kirby is adjusting well to being let out in the rest of the house. He isn’t daring enough to climb or descend the staircase yet, but he’s getting there. He’s litter trained and doesn’t usually chew, scratch or destroy things. He’s fond of things that make noise and buttons that are attached to things. Other than that and the consant puppyish nibbling, he is a perfect angel. Having a pet wandering around while I am having breakfast or am doing laundry makes it feel proper. He is no longer a little weasel that I spend an hour with on a good day shut up in a room that serves no other purpose. It’s time to turn my house into a home! And the first thing it needed was a pet. Done. Accomplished. Next, FURNITURE?

Also finding Swiss Miss hot cocoa powder at Itotome has officially made my week better. I have a hot cocoa after my last class of the day, and it just makes the day seem warmer and life seem better. Mmm… cheap instant cocoa. Who knew I missed it? I figured by now I would be missing pizza or burritos or panera bread. While I love those things, I don’t seem to be having the uncontrollable cravings I thought I would be by now. Hooray!
