flexible (aka weak) memory

THERE ARE MAGGOTS IN MY COMPOST. Must be the shrimp shells, and it smells lol. I put in more grass clippings and turned the pile. Trying to not gag, haha.

For the last two, almost three days it felt like winter, save for the very cold crisp in the air which makes winter here unbearable. It's very gray right now, and it's JUNE. Fuck all of this global-warming-climate-change system thing whatever. Not anything I do could impact it's impending take over.

Whenever I get the chance to work outside, I always work until the sun sets. With summer solstice approaching, I go inside to clean up a bit and then straight to go pick up my mom. Earlier in the year, I would go on the internets to read for a bit before leaving, but there's not time for that anymore. Ah, it really feels like I'm growing up.

Except, on monday I parked the car at a place that I usually don't park and had a small panic. I was already outside the building without a key, waiting for my mom to come outside.

"Mom, the car is gone," I exclaim when she finally emerges. My mom looks at me with slight exasperation and says, "child, you parked at the end of the block today."

"oh," I said and laugh a little too hysterically. She literally LOL'ed all over the place.

"I began to forget like this when I was 35, dear." She then told me a story about how she forgot where she parked and called camp security. They found her car in an adjacent parking lot and they were like, is this your car m'am? I can imagine her laugh, saying yes. Don't call me again, the told her.

Well!!!!!-- maybe I'm not a late bloomer in some aspects. Geez.
