outside influence

ughh i can't stand being out in my backyard!!! these carpenter bees are terrifying.

for context, my backyard has a pergola (i had to look it up bc i forgot what they were called) and carpenter bees like to hover around it so they can chew holes in the wood and nest there.

if you have ever seen carpenter bees before, they are huge and noisy. people say they're harmless and just curious creatures, but that NEVER mattered to me. a bee is a bee, so i stay away from them as much as possible, even if it means running around my backyard like a maniac.

today my dad texted and asked me to turn off the hose at a specific time, right? so i set an alarm and went outside at that time, only to be met with not one, but TWO bees. one is near the door, while the other is near the faucet... which is where i need to get to so i can turn off the hose.

lucy and kali came out with me, and at first, i was glad lucy came bc she's the best bee killer i know! i've seen her jump up, grab the bees in her mouth, and then spit them out before. but this time she wasn't doing her job. every time i would run away from the bees, she would jump up and bite ME 😭 like??? i am not playing with you!!!!

in a short time, it became very chaotic out there.

every time the bee near the faucet flew away for a second, i ran up to the faucet to try to screw it off before he came back. at one point, i was over by the faucet and the bee came back and we were staring at each other. i literally pleaded for the bee not to come any closer while i unknowingly turned the handle the WRONG WAY. tbf, you can't really think straight when you're scared...

i sprayed the water towards the bee a few times, and he darted upwards, but he just wouldn't leave. the dogs kept trying to play in the water and drink it, and i was getting so frustrated.

after getting my clothes wet, soaking the pavement, and almost tripping over my dogs as i attempted to escape the bees, i eventually managed to shut off the hose. i wanna say it took me about ten minutes. but i did it!!

so yeah... that was my outside experience today.

on another note, i was looking through my blogs earlier and saw i had more comments than i remembered on my reminisce blog. i opened it and saw i had gotten two comments from some anonymous account.

obviously i have no clue who it is, and i'm very confused. like, what's with all the emojis and hearts? although, it's probably just someone from spacehey who clicked on my blogspot link.

but!!! i also feel like it could be my last partner or one of his friend's messing with me. i know he liked to troll people, especially people he wasn't very fond of. so what if this is all some joke? at the same time tho.. that'd be pretty childish. no one should care that much about me to do that, especially after all these months.

i don't know u guys... kinda concerned rn.

if they respond to me saying who they are, then that would be much appreciated bc this is NOT secret share. tell me who you are.

talk soon my friends, i love you both!!
