I Thought It Was Dead.

But it wasn't.

The inchworm inside its cocoon is now turning brown. I thought it was dead, but S said it was just a chrysalis or something. I faggot.

More Bugs

Yesterday, I lifted up one of the pots in the 'garden' and found millions of cockroaches, plus a white one. I was like 'whaat' and dropped the pot. I also found two eggs on the bell pepper plant.
I later found out that white cockroaches re not albinos, that's just what they look like right after molting.

And as for today, S gave the caterpillars tomatoes and now their turds are red and shiny. I even found a dark green turd a few minutes ago.

Inchworm, Tomato Hornworm, and Turds.

I found an inchworm yesterday in the 'garden' after watering the plants. It was crawling on a rock. I picked up the rock and lingered around a bit more in the garden in case there were anymore caterpillars around. There weren't, so I went back inside.

H thought the inchworm was just another tomato hornworm but obviously he was wrong. First of all, it didn't have a horn, and second of all, S said that newly hatched tomato hornworm are white or yellow. This inchworm was green. Third of all, tomato hornworms have big heads, and the inchworm had a pretty small head.

Later that day, S found a thready case around the worm. "Oh cool! It's making its cocoon!" S said. "What? Really?! That's awesome!" I said. No wonder it had been moving its head all day.

Also, I found out that my hornworm had turds all over its jar. The turds looked like small blackberries. Seeing them all piled up together was disgusting. I felt like barfing. Ugh. You should've seen it. Get this, I even saw a turd come out of the worm's tocks! It came out and then the slit closed up, quite primly. Yuck. Shortly after that, I found it sleeping, and two turds were stuck to its feet. "Sedapnya tidur, dengan turd turd lagi," said ummi. (Find the translation on Google translate, if you are so inclined.) Later, before abi went to the masjid for Isha, S and I went outside to dump out the turds. S said they looked like little grenades. XD

Ummi said we should have a diary about the caterpillars. So I got my nature journal and made one.

The worms are quite interesting. I can't wait to put up the pictures and videos!

Toes These Days.

I just came back from my foot appointment and they said it was healed. They were like, wow, that was fast! And we just surgeried you last week!!

Carrot Top.

Today I pulled out a small carrot from the 'garden'. H screamed and said I pulled it too early. Ummi said to cut off the top of the carrot and put it in water. And give the rest to Z. How sad was I to know that he gobbled up that carrot and didn't even say it was good. Just kidding.

Blah.

Foot appt today at 3:30. How sad. BOOHOO!

Now It's BOTH OF THEM!!!

I had my appointment today for my toes. I recently found out I had an infection on my right and left big toes. So today, when it was my turn to go in, I told the nurse I had infections again and she was like, "Really? Seriously? Dang it!" Then she said, "You know what this means, right?" And I said, "Yeah."

It meant SURGERY again.

I braced myself. JK. I hate it when they give me the shots.

Blood spurted everywhere, and the doctor laughed evilly, snapping the scissors together threateningly.

...

Not really. The truth is, I saw BLOOD. Dark red, coming from my toe. Then, they took the scraping tool and scraped all that nasty stuff from my toe. Then they put cream on and everything, and stuck wooden sticks with fluff at the end, in the corners of my toe. Then they cleaned my toe and I was good. My tummy still hurt though from the shot.

I got down from the chair and put on my shoes. I felt a little wobbly.

Z in the other room got straps, and it appears to be that his feet are worse than mine. Yehoo! JK.
