#ScribesAndMakers 11.29 — Cantankerous?It was interesting how my view of Emily had changed. At first, I had found her humorless and grouchy, almost #cantankerous. She was definitely serious, but she had a humorous side and was perfectly capable of engaging in verbal sparring.
She was a bit sadistic too. I could tell by the way her lips turned up in a smile as I pushed my way through the thick forest growth, and by her uproarious laughter when a #pillbox-shaped bug as big as my fist caused me to shriek in surprise.
We eventually reached the “trail,” a muddy, trampled swath of land that ambled through the forest. Fallen trees littered the path, and huge footprints lurked in the dense ferns, threatening to break the legs of the unwary. The expedition clothes I had manifested soon turned into leather chaps and a jacket. Despite the heat, it was better than being #rent by the long dagger-like thorns that hid amid the foliage.
My attempts to transform my clothes into futuristic lightweight armor were a flop. There were clearly limits to my power. As an experiment, I tried to manifest money and then a gun. Again, the experiments failed. I had better luck with manifesting a machete.
My woes weren't limited to the heat and flora. Clouds of gnats followed me. A safari hat with mosquito netting helped, but hindered my movement through the brush. The machete and short stints of immateriality were helpful, but tiring. Indiana Jones, I wasn’t.

"Cantankerous". A funny sounding word that I learned today with a disappointing meaning.

Is it just me being a grumpy old fart (entirely possible) or do other photographers in the landscape genre hate it when random potential visitors to your area email asking for locations to go?
Instinctive reaction is to tell them to [depart hastily] and do their research like anyone else... Do I look like a travel agent? Sigh.#grumpy #photography #cantankerous #introvert #lazygits #grrr

Today I woke up feeling exceedingly cantankerous and I do not know why! It was an interesting morning. I got out to vent my spleen so that helped.
I wrote a flash fiction based on three prompts, pilot, surgery and horror - and that was very fun!
Tonight I need to douse myself in tea and do some writing. I have an article to finish and a chapter to redraft and expand.
