Stress Sigh
Mar. 1st, 2016 12:08 amI've... been having a rough couple days.
Saturday was our trip into town to get supplies. Only I managed to set my wallet down and then walk out without it. So no food or, well, anything for me. Then we went to the beach with our field crew leader+friends. Only I hadn't brought any razors with me, so wearing my swimming suit was out of the question. Went in some old jeans and a t-shirt instead, but it was just weird. Felt weird, looked weird. I managed to cut both feet and my hand on the rocks. Then I wandered into what I thought was the changing room but was really the bathroom. In bare feet. With cuts. I probably have every disease known to man now. After that it was dinner, which my roommate was kind enough to spot me for, but I pretty much sat in the corner in awkward silence the whole time. After we got back to the park, we went to go look at the volcanic glow, only I managed to forget my jacket, and spent a miserable 40 minutes freezing before I excused myself, went back to the house and went to bed.
Was drained all day Sunday, basically just hid in my room.
But today. TODAY. First, I'm missing two rat traps and one or two wasp traps on my one of my transects. I don't know if I just didn't see them, or if they're actually gone, but that's one day's worth of data down the tube. Then we went to nest searching, and not only did I not find a single nest, I didn't see a single Elepaio. Then I fell and scraped the hell out of my leg. Don't have anything to patch it up with though, because all that stuff was on the shopping list, which didn't get bought because of Saturday's disaster.
I did get to the general store in the park, so I at least have food for the week. And I got to see sea turtles at the beach, which was cool. But man, I just want to crawl in a lava tube and hide at this point.
Please, March, be a better month than February.
