Caterpillers and Concrete Appointments....

Well, first thing's first. I managed to save five drowning caterpillers from within the depths of a rather wet Tonka Truck. The first two were revived within mere seconds of laying on the nice warm stone in the sunshine and were quickly wisked away into the Dollarstore bug catcher. The third and fourth took about 3 and 4 minutes, respectively. But the fifth little guy who was deemed "Abidulio" by a certain four year-old little girl just wouldn't budge. I thought it was only going to be a 80% survival of the pack but this little girl wouldn't give up. She held him in her hands, force fed him leaves and even held him up high so that he could be "closer to the sun". And gosh darn it if after ten minutes of this the little bugger didn't start crawling! He was then re-introduced to his friends in the nice-stick-and-leaf-filled-captivity where he is still living out his days. When asked why his name was Abidulio she answered, "Because that's his name and I like it!" Here are a couple of pictures of the little guy.


Just goes to show you that even the little things can brighten your day and we as adults need to slow down and see the world for what it is. And the best way to do this is though the eyes of children. Man I love my job!





Health Update: I have Remicade Appointments! My application went through and I go June 22nd for the first round, July 4th for the second and August 3rd for the last loading dose. I'm so excited about getting off of the Entocort and Imuran(I hate swallowing pills, but then again, who does?)but I'm getting scared for the Remicade. Here's hoping it works!!!! *FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED*
