<\/p>\nlest you think things are boring around here, and even though i’ve been only able to do small things, like napping and eating, and i don’t get any better and it’s making me crazy…<\/p>\n
things aren’t boring.<\/p>\n
this afternoon i was coming home and rounded the bend close to home…and there was a turtle in the road!\u00a0 it was near the edge of the road, a perfect place to get smashed.<\/p>\n
i screeched to a halt up the way and hurried back to the turtle.\u00a0 he was pretty good-sized and i bent down to pick him up…and he SNAPPED and HISSED and LUNGED at me!<\/p>\n
a mean snapper.\u00a0 i tried a couple more times, and more SNAPPING HISSING AND LUNGING.\u00a0 hmm.\u00a0 he then proceeded to turn around in a circle, whichever direction i went.\u00a0 at least i knew i could outrun him if i had to.<\/p>\n
i called kevin, who said “i’ll be right there,” because kevin is ALWAYS TO THE RESCUE!<\/p>\n
while i waited, i took a\u00a0 picture of Mr. Snapper.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
i waited in the road, to protect him, hoping that nobody was going to come careening around the bend and not see us – people do that a lot around here.\u00a0 i was also talking on the phone to amy, who said GET OFF THE PHONE AND PAY ATTENTION SO YOU DON’T GET HIT!<\/p>\n
this seemed just a tad paranoid, but so then mr. s and i waited patiently for kevin, who showed up with his welder’s gloves.\u00a0 he scooped the turtle up and carried him into the field…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
…and then set him in a little stream not far from the lake.\u00a0 yay!\u00a0 turtle rescue accomplished!<\/p>\n

and now i will go back to quietly sitting, and then i will nap.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
