Ridiculous

Wow. Right now in our parking lot there are 2 HUGE turkeys and 4 baby ones.

And my Jamba Juice is still sitting in the car. I am so mad.

Here's the story... I decided to do a little shopping today.
When I finished shopping I picked up a Jamba Juice. Yum.
Got to the parking lot at our complex- decided to stop and get the mail.
Got back into my car-decided to sit awhile and look at the ads.
(I don't get out much-
needed a change of scenery.)
Finished looking at the adds- great sales! Looked up-
rather large bird walking into the parking lot from the sidewalk in front of me. "Hmmm." (That's me thinking) "Birds are not usually that big. I better watch out for birds like that here. California has some big birds.
Wonder what kind it is. I hope they aren't all over."

Decided to back out of my parking spot by the mailboxes
to park closer to my house. Put the car in reverse.
Turn to look out my left window for cars and
WOW. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
A HUUUUUUGE turkey walks out from behind the car parked next to me. Followed by 4 babies (one of them being my first little "friend"). They do not look like babies at all-until compared with the massive turkey. WOW.

I look up at a guy who's standing on his porch talking on his phone.
Good thing he called the animal control. Turkeys should not
just be wandering around in California! They are so dangerous!
I better get home quick before they block the stairs to my house.
Then I'd have to sit in my car all day.

I start to drive and get stuck waiting for yes- another HUGE,
full grown turkey. That makes 6 turkeys in our stupid parking lot.
And one is right in front of my bumper.
I double check that my doors are locked.
They are. Whew.

Waiting... waiting... I thought... I could just nudge him...
but you know when you're scared of spiders and it's
almost worse to actually squish them- cuz then in a
way they'd be touching you? Well.. that's my theory
for the turkey. Yuck.
So I waited. Then it moved.

I parked.
Backed up again
to see how close the turkeys were getting.
Grabbed my purse, shopping bags, and made sure my
house key was in my hand ready to go in the door.
Booked it from my car up the stairs and into my apartment
where I quickly locked the door. Safe!
Set the bags on the couch and noticed... no Jamba Juice. Wow.
I'm not even thinking about going to get it. It's not happening.

So I call Jason. He is never going to believe this! Turkeys in a parking lot!
In the middle of the city! That's ridiculous!

GUESS WHAT?!! (recapped the story)
"I know. I saw them the other day."

Thoughts going through my mind:
"WHAAAT?!! Why didn't you tell me?
They've been here longer than just today?
Was that man really calling Animal Control?
Are they going to come get them?
How will I know when I'm safe?
What if I had been laying out at the pool?!!!
I am never going to lay out again. Gross. They could've crawled on me!!
Gross. I am never leaving our apartment again.
Wow. My summer is over. How am I ever going to do anything knowing
they could be waiting at the bottom of our stairs?
Maybe they've been here the entire time.
I bet it was them in the bushes that one night. Waiting.
I hate it here! Now what am I going to do all summer?!"

And then... I decided to blog my frustrations. Sad day.
Sad melting Jamba Juice.
Stupid turkeys. Stupid all birds.
I'm not even posting a picture of a turkey.
I don't want it to ugly up my blog.
