Endings Bring New Beginnings

I jinxed myself, and by myself I mean my pets. Only two days ago I wrote a post about how I got my pet chickens and this afternoon I found out my rooster died in the night. RIP Aquaman, you will be missed you glorious rooster.

Aquaman was always a bold man, staring right at you.

It's got me thinking about death just a little bit and how lost I am when it comes to it. I haven't had anyone close to me ever pass. The last person in my family that I knew passed when I was only seven. I didn't even see my great-nana all that much so seeing her in the hospital and then in the casket was so odd to me. I've been to one funeral since, my ex's father. His father I only knew for about a year, so yeah I was fairly comfortable with him, I still wasn't all that close.

Insanity and Superheroes

Mom: When I retire, I think I'm going to have huge garden, some dogs, and maybe some chickens.
Jess: CHICKENS?! You're going to have chickens?!
Mom: Yep. For the free eggs.
Jess: But where will you get them?
Mom: You can find them online and get them as babies, Jess. It's not that hard.
Jess: ... I want baby chickens.
Mom: Okay, you can get some when we move.

Jess: But I want them now. I want pet chickens. They can live in my room. Can you please get me chickens next time you go to North Carolina?!

Mom: *laughing* Well, your aunt is coming here this week. Ask her.

Jess: I will!

*ring ring riiiiiiiiing*

Aunt: Hey Jess, what's up?
Jess: I want some baby chickens. Can you get some for me?
Aunt: *long pause* ARE YOU ON CRACK?!?!?!?!?!
Jess: No, I just want pet chickens. Please? Two, so they don't get lonely.
Aunt: Fiiiiine, I guess as long as your mother agrees.
Jess: She did she did she did she did! Yaaaaaaay!
Aunt: I should be back in Mass in two days, meet me in Brockton to get them.
Jess: I will! I can't wait! I love you, thank you so much!
Aunt: *laughing* No problem, love you too girl.

*disconnect*

Jess: Mom! She's bringing me baby chickens!
Mom: *laughing* You're such a strange child. I wonder about you sometimes...
