I hear what I think might be the chickens scratching around and I jump up and run to the door. But it's just a man, the one who lives in Cheekdavegas (my neighbor 2x over now) ignoring the burn ban and building a refuse fire, as they all do at the end of the season. On all sides, I am surrounded by pick-up trucks driven by barrel-built pig-headed descendants of the colony founders ..
me: you would think, given these conditions, I could attract something other than a Pussy Bitch
her (daughter 1): 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
me: that is just the right thing to call him, so much trouble caused by just a Pussy Bitch
her: totally
me: which makes me I don't even know what, besides an idiot
us: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
her: just not a good fit (ha hem, she rephrases politely)
me: these guys around here have no fucks to give about the news either, burn ban their ass, cz NEWSFLASH it's October
her: to tal ly, it's refuse burn time duh
me: yup, and if the dry spells get bad enough with the 0% forethought about land management it's not sustainable. and yet, fuck you
her: yup, fuck you, those are your people 🤣
me: and yours, ms hairy armpits homeschooler
her: yup, I want to be in the country
me: yup and on my terms, not theirs either, cz FUCK YOU TOO
us: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
her: you're not a joiner
me: nooooooo obviously epic fail, and yet
her: dudes with pick-up trucks
me: under this feeling like just punched and punched until I flinch at a breeze shaking all the time relearning to eat like I've had a fucking stroke 😭😭😭😭, but under all that
her: past a lot of it
me: god this closing thing and all the drama (shudder), that closing has to go through
her: she hasn't made a sound in like 30 minutes
me: there is nothing like growing up with beach access, nature in general
her: K has an interview for $28/hr here, I don't want to go back
me: I don't want to go back either, the closong has to go through or I will drown
her: well let's each pray for each other to get what they need
me: I think it's a full harvest moon, let's light a candle
her: does a birthday candle count? alls I got
me: in these trying times, flicking a lighter and holding it up counts
us: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like to look at the same trees, watching them change in the light.
