Ruined Mochi
Mochi is this Japanese ice cream that has an outside of a soft rice skin with ice cream in the middle. Geo has been wanting to try it forever, and so we went and bought some. On the way home, we decided to go out to eat. I put the Mochi in the trunk in an insulated bag and went to eat. By the time we got home the Mochi got melted and ruined. He was mad it was destroyed. I thought it would have been fine in the insulated bag, but I was wrong. I just feel like crap for ruining it for him. that's the only thing that went wrong today. It was "cold" today- in the low 50's. I went for my walk anyway, and that stupid dead possum was still there! It's been there so long it's almost just bones. It stinks like crazy and I don't know why nobody else complained. I tried calling it in last week, but they said that I had to know the address. Well, it's on a sidewalk behind the houses, so I didn't know what the address was. The last time I passed it I was in the middle of a timed 5k for me, and so I didn't find the address. I walked there today, and it was still there. So I counted the backs of houses and went around to the front street to get the address. It's just disgusting... I don't know why nobody else complained. Anyway, I'm going to get going.... I'm just trying to do a bit of updating daily. I plan on going to my aerobics class tomorrow and volunteer again. I think if I'm at the Information Desk I will stay more than an hour. I'm going to bring my umbrella again in case it rains.

that is gross about the possum, I don\'t know why people aren\'t bothered by it. it is good you followed through with the addresss, you want to enjoy your walks/runs. sorry about the mocha, it was not your fault though, it was an accident, I would of thought like you with the insulated bag. you are doing so good with the volunterring and exercise, I am so proud of you!!! hugsss
I wonder if maybe, the people you called just never got around to cleaning it up. they have people working in the development.. they didn\'t notice it ?
Sorry Geo didn\'t get his Mochi. Well, Maybe, for a Special occasion you can get it for him again.
I hope you are enjoying your exercise class. what are you doing these days at your volunteer job?
Lately I\'ve been working at the Information Desk. Which is good, since I like working there. I think I\'m going to call my boss about coming in for a couple hours. I need to get out of the house.
I think that is great, and I think you will feel better getting out. hugss
eventually the body will decompose and not smell. there should be a phone number for dead animals in the road...poor thing. i love possums.
sorry to hear about the mochi. can you buy him another one. why is it your fault, if he was with you? to appease, i would just go get him another one and put it in the freezer. how about a small one?
The only store that sells them is 10 miles away and I can\'t drive. It ended up okay... they re-froze well and Geo was able to enjoy them.
