Ladybugs came through my window, smelling like dandelion and grass.
Warden tried eating every single one and I told him to quit it. I said, "Quit it!" and he howled and thumped his tail against the floor. Regrette looked on without interest. But barked at a passing truck. Jumped up and pawed the window, poked a hole through the screen, and I knew that that's how the ladybugs had come into the apartment. Crazy dogs. As crazy as people. As crazy as The Ghost.
The Ghost. "Jimenez! Get going already!" The Ghost was having a bad day, or a good day, I suppose. A good day if he likes yelling at everyone, throwing Styrofoam cups of coffee with powered creamer onto the floor and crushing them with his hard, small feet. "Jimenez!"
But he wouldn't, couldn't take away from my day. My day was for me to decide whether or not it was good or bad and in the end, it was good. The ladybugs didn't bother me. They didn't not bother me either. The Ghost didn't upset me, but didn't put me in a good way either. But I decided, not five minutes ago, that it was good day.
Good day today, better day tomorrow.
Good butter today, better butter tomorrow!
