July... 18, 2013?!

Holy crud, this summer is flying by. Maybe because I have to keep ripping parts of my car off and putting new ones on, maybe because I have no job and therefore am enjoying all of my time too much.

Went to the zoo with the hubs and the MIL. Wooh! Zoo Zoo Zoo. Fun word.

I started keeping my account on calorie counter up to date this week. I have a lot of extra time on my hands, aside from naming and collecting bugs, fixing my car and going to dance, which is now over for the summer. I did a bunch of homework. I seem to be suffering from either really bad eye strain, or really weak conjunctivitis. I can't tell. Either way, I took my contacts out and have been in glasses all day for three days (ugh). I'm considering going back to contacts because the glasses are so irritating and my eyes haven't gotten any better overall (though they do get betterish when I'm not on the computer or playing video games.
While writing this, I decided to call telehealth ontario and they told me it was going to be a 40 minute wait to speak to a nurse! Holy crap, not a good service. I can walk into a walk in clinic in that time. Thanks, I know it's one of two things, I'll just keep waiting until I get eye goo to be sure.
Which is why I'm not sure: my eyes are red and itchy, but they haven't got eye goo, and they get worse when I stare at a computer screen.
So here I am. I made awesome soft pretzels last night from Tammy's Recipes (here) and they are the best soft pretzels that I have had in a long time. I think that they need a kick or something maybe, but they were awesome otherwise.
I identified a species that I caught yesterday, this morning: The Punctured Tiger Beetle (link is to bugguide.net, I highly recommend this site for those bug enthusiasts. Some of the pictures are awesome and a great number of species are up on the site. You can also submit good pictures of species that you cannot identify yourself for others who are pros to ID. I actually ended up using this site to ID it: Tiger Beetles of Ontario since I had been looking at pictures of beetles all morning and the metallic green one looked the closest to my specimen, except that mine wasn't green. I assumed it was a tiger beetle, then searched brown tiger beetle, et voila!  

Cicindela punctulata! (I hope).
Hmm.. I came on here to write something specific, but I can no longer seem to recall what that was. Oh well. More for tomorrow, I guess.
