boo!

 I almost killed someone today


    A total stranger at that.

    When we have help in the morning, I generally take a nap in my chair in the den.

    But when the weather is nice, I like to nap in my. red chair on the porch.  It is a recliner, and when the air is cool, the wind softly blowing, and the rain gently falling, it is a great place to take a nap.

    I also have one of those serape like blankets that I may cover up with, as I did today.

    There I was, half asleep on my chair, when I heard a noise.

    I woke up and saw a man standing on the porch with a package.

    I casually said, "Hello."

    At which point he grabbed his chest, staggered back, and almost fell over.

    "Oh my god!  I did not see you there!" he said.

    I apologized for scaring him.  In hindsight, I should have just let him drop the package, take the photo, and leave without saying any thing.

    I am just glad he was young and healthy looking because my CPR skills are a little weak.

    And I did feel bad.  I know what it is like when. something totally unexpected happens and you almost jump out of your skin.

    It rained most of the day, which meant no mowing.

    But a friend stopped over with her 2 grand daughters and visited for a while, then I went out to human Beth's with some stuff and talked with her for a while.

    Also got a hair cut.  I usually wait until it looks really shaggy and unkempt, but I opted to go early, before I looked bad.

    Good thing that happened:  Cubbies finally won a game.  But my flag is not out because I don't want it to get wet.

    So there.

Peace, Love, and Kindness
