Sometimes people tell me something and I just grin and say, "Yeah. I know."
Fact is, I may not have not understood anything they say.
They could have said, "Your pants are on fire," and I would grin and say, "Yeah, I know."
Or it could be serious like, "My best friend was hit by a car and is in critical condition," and I would grin and say, "Yeah. I know."
I have had a hearing issue for years.
When I was teaching, kids would come up to me and ask if they could read a book and I would say yes. Five minutes later they would be coming back from the bathroom and I would ask where they went. They would answer, "You said I could use the bathroom." I thought they wereasksing to read.
When I don't have my hearing aids in it even more of a struggle.
Tonight Jackie asked me for something three times and I still had no idea what she was saying. I was standing next to her!
It all makes me feel like an idiot.
Hopefully that changes next week. I get my new hearing aids and I will be able to hear better. I hope.
Of course, I may still feel like an idiot, but hopefully I will hear better.
Changing topics, I have to shower after every bike ride.
It's not sweat. It's the damn bugs that get in my hair and on my skin.
When I was riding Monday I said hello to someone and a bug flew into my mouth. Now, I don't mind a little extra protein, but unless there is chocolate on that bug I don't want to eat it.
Speaking of bugs, those little black ones you can barely see really bite! Seems I am always squashing them after they bite, not before.
And soon. those stinky Asian lady bugs will be abundant. I was told they feast on aphids on soybeans, and when the soybeans are harvested they have to go somewhere.
I don't know if that is true. But I am sticking with that concept because once I believe something is true, I never change my mind.
Peace and Love
