I'm sitting on my couch typing away right now in sweats, socks, sweatshirt and a blanket. Home sick with a wicked cold. Haven't taken a sick day in a year. It sucks. Hard.
I experienced death, rebirth and near-death yesterday!
Death:
I went up to my parent's cottage on Sunday with 6 friends to hang for the day. On the way up I decided to stop and buy an Air Riffle so we could shoot at cans. Good times!
So we're all sitting on the dock looking out at the lake, when all of a sudden, we hear a gun-shot! Nad says "now that's a real gun!" Looking around, we see a Canada Goose thrashing in the water at the end of someone's dock! A man runs to the water, leans down, grabs the goose by the neck and bashes it against a board, (hopefully) killing it. He gets up, looks over at us for a sec, and walks back into the bush near his home. Meanwhile, the goose's mate is calling to it. So sad! It lingered around the dock for a good 2 hours, calling away until it eventualy flew off. Geese mate for life. It was a heartwrenching thing to watch.
The scary part is that the man aiming at the bird but shot in the direction of the oposite side of the lake, towards other cottages! Isn't that illegal? I do not like hunting.
Rebirth:
Later in the afternoon it rained a little bit and two rainbows appeared right over the lake. I've never seen the begining of a rainbow before, usua; you seen them in the distance but this was right in front of us. (don't judge, but I secretly hoped it was the goose's soul rising up -God I'm lame!)
Near-Death:
We popped a pizza in the oven but were distracted by the rainbows and the oven caught fire!
Ohmygod! It was funny!
I went through old pictures last night, this is me and my hedgehog Pickles (I think I was 18)
