I woke up 2 a.m. to go to the bathroom. When I was washing my hands, I saw this red flickering in my living room. OMG! Not a fire. Oh please not a fire!! Well, there was a fire but not in my living room.
The flashing red I saw was from the lights of a couple fire engines. in the parking lot next door. Huh? I couldn't see any activity going on there, so I shrugged and went back to bed. I did notice some flickering red thru the vertical blinds, but since I couldn't see any evidence of fire, I went back to sleep.
Today I discovered there was a fire. But not where the fire engines were. A fire in the business office on the other side of our driveway. Appeared to be arson. Yetzirah came by and said there were fire trucks out there, some news person wanted to interview her, but she said she didn't live here and declined to be interviewed. On the 6:00 o'clock news this evening I got a news report. Someone said it was the 5th time that a fire call had come to that location. I wish I didn't know that.
All this time I've been feeling secure, even leaving my door unlocked. Unlocked, especially since I've been home recuperating and don't feel like going to the door every time someone knocks. Those I know are coming, I tell them to knock, holler and come in. Maybe I should rethink that?
Y even brought me a large container of her famous squash soup. It is so thick it doesn't even drip from the spoon. Know what I had for dinner tonight? Oh, yes, and she asked if she could bring something from the store, as she would be stopping there on her way here. I asked for a toilet brush. She brought me a nice one and said that someone was giving them away. Giving them away? Nice!
Well, I scrubbed that toilet to a fare-thee-well, and then sprayed Scrubbing Bubbles all over for good measure. It's badly stained and doesn't look all that clean, but I know it's clean. Now I have to find the energy to scrub the floor. At least I could sit on my shower stool to do the toilet, but the floor is a different matter. I'll figure out something. A square foot at a time. Would that work?
Someone brought me a bag of "fun size" Snickers. 'Scuse me a moment while I go hide what's left.
I had the first Harry & David pear today. My taste buds thought we'd died and gone to Heaven. My darling son Andrew sent me a care package from H&D. Oh those goodies! Oh those pears!!
A bit of bad news. Joan, my Lifeline, has wracked up her knee and can't walk. She called me from the emergency room. And I can't do anything for her right now. I asked her couldn't she wait six weeks or so until I'm healthy again?! Of all the times I could do something for her, and I'm hardly able to walk beyond my patio without needing to sit down. Oh, some people just don't have any sense of timing. [Hmm. Is it she or I who lacks a sense of timing?]
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all and sundry. I hope 2009 is a great, fabulous year for everybody!!
Love and Blessing to you all!
