First, I am still driving around in a rental car because they still aren't done fixing my car from what I thought was a relatively minor fender bender. Apparently not. Here are some pics of my car after it got backed into.
They are replacing that back side panel, so they have to replace the panel and paint it and everything. I guess that takes a while. As a result, I may not get the car back in time to take it to get serviced this week, which means my mom and I might not be able to leave for our roadtrip until the 20th, 2 days later than planned. Speaking of the roadtrip, I think I'll have the occasional chance to update and post pics. Hope so anyway.

Also, tomorrow I get my second tattoo. I wanted to get it before I went to Albuquerque so TJ can see it. I'm nervous because this one will be a little bigger. I am getting it done at the Purple Lotus and Shavon does beautiful work. It will be of a flor de sacuanjoche, which is the national flower of Nicaragua. It's a type of plumeria, and here's a pic.
I'll be sure to post a pic of the tattoo once it's done and perdy.

Last week I house/pet sat for some friends of mine who have a LOT of animals. I liked it a lot because they live in the country outside town and it's a really nice relaxing place to get away. However, the first night there was also the first night that I have slept in a place by myself since I got attacked in Nicaragua a month ago. I was kind of freaked out at first, but by the time the second night rolled around I was enjoying the peace and quiet. Being in a place where you could hear insects again was also really nice.

Finally, just because I'm back in the states, that's no reason my critter log should stop. So the other day I saw this moth just hanging out on the side of Marcos and Michelle's house. Didn't seem particularly wise, as he didn't really blend in, as you can see. However, given that there really aren't that many trees in the neighborhood, he may not have had another option. At least he was kind of hidden in the doorway instead of hanging out directly in front of the bird feeder.
