Ewwwww!!!!

So, I have come to terms with the fact that no matter what it appears to be, Texas is a desert and has desert like creatures. I have seen lizards hanging out on planter boxes outside the mall, crickets the size of a 747 and I even saw a scorpion on the sidewalk outside the apartments. The lizard, he was kinda cute, he was just a little guy. I draw the line at bugs in the house, I managed to kill the one cricket that made it past the doorway but when I found a scorpion crawling in my sink, that was the end. I want to go home. I am tired of triple digit weather, sweltering humidity, ugly landscape and the scorpion in my sink was no small bugger. I wanted to cry when I saw it.
Someone please get me out of here, even though I love the friends that I have made down here and I like my job, I miss my best friend and my family. It is tearing my heart out and I really just want to go somewhere else. I know if I liked where I was at it would be much easier than it is now. I am just trying to hold on. I refuse to quit what I have started.

Well friends, that is the end of my rant, hopefully it will help calm me for a little while longer.
