Vielence

Guys so I was practicing in the dark last night 

Annd I almost had a heart attack. 

Why? Well, we have a neighborhood possum, which is fine, they eat a lot of ticks, which I hate, so go them, but y'know its creepy as rust when you hear a noise over the music in your earbuds and look up at the fence and there's a freaking possum hanging over it less that 4 feet away staring into your eyes in the dark.

I absolutely screamed like a girl, and fell into combat stance with the stick pointed at it before my brain processed what it was.

-This comes from living in the middle of nowhere for almost 4 years where scorpions in the sink were regular and a snake in the nesting boxes only warranted a "Can you go tell dad to get the shovel?"

This is not my normal reaction to possums, just to be clear, bobcats are a helluva lot scarier, but I'd been stressed and the minute I let my guard down I get the rust scared out of me.

Animals are cool. I love them, and normally seeing the possum would warrant an "Oooooooo" while keeping the stick pointed at it till it passed my fence then continuing. But that was quite the adrenaline spike so I was done.

*SIGHS*

Anyways yah how was y'alls Friday night?
