Day five: I'm broken

I could not take it anymore! I had to go outside! I have been in this house for FIVE days! ME, who spends most of her life at work, theatre, classes, church, ELSEWHERE. ME, who uses home as a base to sleep, charge my phone, my laptop, and sometimes eat. ME, who uses this house as a place where I occasionally see those people I refer to as my family. And here I am, sitting on this couch or in bed, miserable, for FIVE DAYS! AUGH! I couldn't take it anymore. Ami kept walking from the back door to me. Then he climbed into the armchair and started gazing out, almost longingly. Then he came back to me. Then back to the door. Then back to me. THEN, we hear something outside. Dad, roughhousing with Aidenn. Well, that got Ami going. "SOMEONE is OUTSIDE and they are having a GOOD TIME and it's NOT ME!" Well, that's what I imagine he was saying.Meanwhile, I'm slowly going stir-crazy sitting here. So I turn MAGIC: The Magician's Secrets REVEALED 2, and get properly dressed. I put in my contacts for the first time in FIVE DAYS, which was an interesting struggle as the right one had sat in the container with no solution for FIVE DAYS. So I was greeted to a shriveled piece of plastic. Mmmmmmm... After finding my replacement lenses and getting dressed, I got the leash and we were ready to go.

Teddy decided he would join us after some persuasion. He's a grumpy old man of 10, after all. And soon He was leading the way down the path.

Everything is still very much... brown from the winter. But the sun and breeze are great indications that spring is very close, thank goodness...

I feel very fortunate to have such a great piece of the wildlife in my backyard. While we were trekking over the hill, I saw two deer sailing over the brush and into the woods, their white tails flicking with each leap.

A certain Amadeus would've dragged me like a ragdoll to catch up with them had he also spied them.

We did, however, find hoof prints in the soft earth, indicating recent activity.

And Aidenn found himself on the trail of an unfortunate rabbit, who darted pasted us only seconds before I caught this moment.

Thank goodness Teddy chose to lazily sniff through leaves and not give chase. 

After several minutes of walking around and listening to the distant yelps of Aidenn running amok after that poor rabbit, we decided to head back to the house. Once again, Teddy took it upon himself to lead the way. :o)
