Entry #36: Catch Up

WOW. This final project date is creeping up really really fast! It's May 30th for those of you who didn't know, which seems like it's far away......it isn't. I gotta get cracking.

Tonight I'm going to make a list of what things I need from Lowe's and then tomorrow I hope my dad and I will go down and get the materials to make the pen for the little chicks, which shouldn't be too hard to make.

On another side note, Curly has passed away. Over the weekend we started smelling a foul smell from the incubator and my parents concluded one of the eggs was rotting. At first we all thought it was Dumbledore, but it was actually Curly:( I'm not sure what happened at all but when I carefully sniffed (and resniffed) every single egg, it was definitely Curly.

I really didn't think I could muster up the courage to just toss Dumbledore and Curly away, but the smell was so overwhelming I had to shut up my motherly instinct, to never give up, over the eggs, and I placed them in an egg carton and then left a note with them telling my parents that I didn't know what to do with them.

Thank god for parents because if I had been the one who had to "dispose" of the eggs I probably would've had a little funeral for them and made my parents and maybe my friends gather around my two lost souls:(

Now maybe I'm going a little overboard? But I'm not. It's not easy just being like "oh hey sorry ya didn't make it little guy next time around!" no. It doesn't work like that. You feel sad! I feel sad! So yeah, thank goodness that I could just leave them on the counter and have them be gone the next morning because I just don't have the heart yet:(
