I feel like a bear who hibernated through the spookiest month of the year and awakened just in time for the holiday season. I am currently watching Christmas movies on Hallmark whilst enjoying open windows & a cool Autumn breeze. Allow me to elaborate on where I’ve been. I had a cold for two weeks in September; when it went away, I thought my illness quota for the year was fulfilled. WRONG!! A little over one week later, the flu took me by the throat and refused to let go for a few weeks. A lingering cough wrecked my throat and made it really hard to talk. Of course that has no effect on a blogger, but it sure does put a damper on Youtube productivity. I still have a little bit of a cough, which is annoying beyond verbal description, but I am healthier and more energized than I was last month. I have a few more updates for you so keep on reading.

• I turned twenty-three on November 5th. Physically, I don’t look my age thanks to Baby Face Syndrome, but I am right on track mentally; I spend most of my time stressing about adult decisions and responsibilities. Growing up is awesome! 😭 In all seriousness, I had a fantastic birthday. I watched Christmas movies in the morning, ate Greek food with my family in the afternoon, visited Barnes & Noble in the evening (I may or may not have walked out with 2 books), & watched Impractical Jokers with my brother before bed. Not a bad day! 😊

• Allow me to introduce you to my new obsession: zoo live cams! For people who can’t afford frequent trips to the zoo, live videos of eight different animals are available on the San Diego Zoo website. Go ahead! Give in to your curiosity and take a peek! Hint: They are more active during the day, tigers excluded.

Before I tell my terrifying tale, I want you to see a real June bug. Prepare yourself!!

(Source: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/newsrel/garden/JuneBeetle.jpg)

I was listening to Pandora and typing a blog post, and my mom was sleeping. Suddenly she shrieked and covered herself completely with blankets. “Do you hear that?!! Where is that buzzing coming from?!!” She scared me half to death! “What buzzing? I don’t hear anything!” She jumped out of bed and turned on the light. I immediately saw a large bug flying through the air and threw myself off the bed screaming. She ran inside the bathroom and shut the door, leaving me to fend for myself. I got back onto the bed, grabbed a pillow, and continued to scream anytime the bug came near me. I should add that I crawled back and forth across the bed numerous times. Unexpected cardio. Eventually my mom emerged from the bathroom with her weapon of choice raised in the air: a plunger. “Where is it??!” Thankfully it had landed, and she easily captured it underneath the plunger. On closer inspection, we identified the attacker as a june bug A.K.A. THE DEVIL!!! After a few seconds of waiting and panicking, my mom did the next logical thing: attempt to plunge the bug to death. It actually worked! She smashed it with a flip flop for good measure, but the plunger was the real hero of the hour. The bug was flushed, appropriate considering how he died, and order was restored. Almost. Me and my mom were able to go to sleep, but there was definitely some paranoia. I think this goes without saying, but I HATE bugs!! Hopefully tonight is less eventful. Have a great day readers!
