Who’s your favorite Beatle and why?

Note-I used to love to answer questions like this or the Friday Five. I feel like they are supposed to be 500 words but I don’t thing that will happen unless I get really hooked again.

Let it all go…

••Post that I left in draft a few weeks ago. Don’t think I ever answered the question••

For the last week I’ve had Pink Pantheress song Girl Like Me in my head. More specifically the Basement Jaxx sample from Romeo “Let it all go.”

I know why the lyric is in my head, besides being part of a great and catchy song. But the meaning could means two things. Do I let go of all the bad thoughts and emotions that I keep trapped in my heart and mind. To let go of all the suffering I wrap myself with?

Or do I let all of the hope and life I try to cling to go. And just surrender to the peace of death.

Gone

So these guys built a nest in the stairwell in my apartment. I have been waiting for the day that one of them would shit on me. I hated that they were so loud in the morning, quieting down has I left my apartment for work, and then starting back up when I was at the bottom of the stairs where they thought I couldn’t hear them talking about me.

Today it looks like someone took down their nest. It’s a little bit quieter and I’m a little bit sadder….

Not sure my hand appreciates my humor.

It has been a week…

Bees

We had a swarm of bees try to make a hive in the front of my work. Amazing and scary at the same time.

The 1st attempt. Did not get the queen and she flew away with the swarm…but came back later in the day.
2nd attempt was more successful. Apparently the swarm was 6000-7000 bees total.

Um….
