2024 April 5 Zoo Horticulture Assistant

Yesterday, my interactions with humans were just bonkers. I should have stayed in bed. A “Massage Parlor” behind my house was in the news for sex trafficking, and it happens to share a parking lot with a pub my wife was at. I walked two doors down to read the sign on the door and this crazy guy jumps out of his van yelling at me to “STOP” and “COME HERE”, I yelled “NO” and he got out of the van and chased me into the bar. As soon as I got in I told everyone I was being followed, but I think everyone was a bit scared by the unhinged loud talker who stood directly behind me. I was shaking and couldn’t move. Carli eventually got him to stop talking and leave, but I was shook. I froze. No, sir, I’m not going to engage with a creepy man in a van outside a sex trafficking hub. 

All that in top of losing my car keys, burning my toast, and having another strange interaction at a lunch cafe. It has to be this New Moon energy coming through or the eclipse? Idk. People are bonkers. 

I’m going to focus on the positive today. That means my shiny new job at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo as a Horticulture Assistant. 

I have so many questions that I had to start writing them down:

Also, a good thing about yesterday: An Eastern Towhee was in the plum tree:
