Remember a Bug’s Life?

Well explore this bug’s life with me.  I am certain it will be a discovery for you, too. 

I am really working on taking my time, and this is another reminder to take my time, especially when I am not wearing my glasses.

I saw a dob on the floor and thought to myself that is a dirt dob.  I  immediately wondered who brought it in.  

On a visit Stella remarked, “Your dogs can go everywhere here.”  The bathroom is the one place Hank and Dixie knew they weren’t going to be allowed to step into.  Hank knows he still can, and Dixie knows she is not supposed to.  Therefore, our closet is the only room Hank and Dixie should not go into.  Dixie has been in our closet more than Hank.  

It is all because the tile floor I wanted but knew I shouldn’t choose based on the scale of maintenance, it is high, I chose.  Every hexagon is surrounded by grout.  I got a mini industrial tile scrubber just to maintain the grout.  

I appreciated the head elementary school janitor, Maggie, and when I scrub the tile floor with my mini industrial tile scrubber, I always remember her.  She was always at the trash can in the cafeteria to make sure the students’ aim of their tray was accurate, and when my class’s line passed her, she would always return my salutation.  My mom packed macaroni and cheese in a thermos, so all I had for Maggie was a smile and salutation.  Matt wanted to see me use my scrubber for the first time because he was not surprised I found one, and the remark coming from his smirk was, “Where’s your keys?”  

And then the dirt dob moved sure enough for me to see without my glasses.  I am nearsighted; it took me some time to know that means I can see well up close.  I don’t know why it took me as long as it did when the word is literally what it means.  Maybe because when I am at the optometrist the fact I cannot see far away is the focus, and I am not even thinking in what way I can see good.  And that really is the only time I am in contact with the term farsighted.  I have been asked if I am nearsighted or farsighted outside of the optometrist’s office.  Oh gosh, I’m back to getting mixed up.  If I can see up close but not far away I am nearsighted I think.  

I examined it more closely, took a picture, shared the discovery with my family, and flushed the bug to Heaven.
