In the warmth of today’s gleaming sun, I had removed my jacket to absorb the heat and to read Nicholaus Copernicus’ On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres. As is NOT my usual practice, I brought my covered thermo-insulated coffee cup outside with me. There upon the table it sat as I drank away the java which took several hours.
When just sipping upon some Joe at home and all alone or with a chosen crew, I drink it rather fast and surely while it is warm. Yet in the warmth upon this day, I drank so slowly and sipped away in a lady-like fashion with pinky on display! Upon the emptying of the cup through my final sip, I went inside to refill said cup and thus scooped up my thermos. Upon opening both to commit my task, I filled my cup to brim. Oh! Upon the filling be there a hornet floating in my cup! As the refill was performed within the confines of a structure, I hastened my behind to the great outdoors with hornet on paper to attempt to probe it to life. Yes. I had removed the darling and placed it on paper in an attempt to revive it. My fingers lying on either side of it in hope of movement.
Previously...The words “KILL IT” coming from another did not leave me smiling since the poor create surely looked dead. Nay to my killing it. Unfortunately, the poor little darling did not come back and, at present, its little corpse lies upon my table. I did continue to sip my coffee as I found no problem in doing so.
As it is but the shell of the being, I shall hold steadfast to it until I can gain another microscope. I believe I gave my old one to my daughter. ~ Maggie ~ a/k/a Arachne ~ 9/9/09 @ 7:40 p.m. EST
