it’s firefly season here
today was Farmkid’s last day of school and so her parents let her stay up an hour past bedtime to see the fireflies and i was all set to be in on the shenanigans but at like, 7:45 I was like “ok i gotta just– close my eyes fr a sec i am exhausted” and then I lay in bed and listened to them playing Uno downstairs and i was like yes i will get up soon and then they went outside and I was like zzzzzz so anyway I heard them come back in and was like okay I missed that one. but listen. i am so tired.
i did spend most of the day with Farmkid, though, and i read and read to her, and we finished The Serpent Sea for a second time through, and then weirdly she wanted to pretend to be a kitty and have me literally throw a toy for her to play fetch with for like an hour, and I was like, for some reason this is hilarious, but like, why not. And we played outside, and we ran around, and I went in the swimming hole in the creek she’s not allowed to go into by herself (it’s a big creek), and we had a good time. (I also spent an hour and a half washing and packing eggs, and an hour and change making lunch, so.)
Farmsister said, at lunch, “So you did get stuck here,” and I was like “yeah kinda” (another day to get her COVID test results back, at least, and then we’ll see, I might just stay– there’s another chicken day on Tuesday I was going to come back for, so like… this was my break and it’s half over now) and she was like “captive labor” and I was like “ha” and then finally she was like “I’m really glad you’re here though,” and I admitted that if I had to get stuck somewhere this was really the best place for it. I also realize that if The Rona gets us, I’m the most likely to actually not die here, because I would actually admit to needing help to my sister; I would probably die at MM’s because I wouldn’t let her help me, and at home I am so goddamned cranky with Dude when I’m sick– I mean, he wouldn’t really let me die, but I would not enjoy making him take care of me.
I really really think that test is going to come back negative, though.
