Weird Day

Hi guys.

Weird day today, so I'll keep it short.  Here's why today was weird:

1. I had to go to the courthouse this morning to deliver documents for my mom.  At the entrance, I heard a bunch of yelling, but could see nothing but a petite woman in a magenta suit walking briskly towards a flagpole.  She was pulling a rolling briefcase, so I thought she was a lawyer.  It wasn't until I saw her begin to repeatedly kick the flagpole that I realized that a) the yelling was coming from her, b) she was yelling at an invisible person and c) "she" was a he.  Thankfully, security took her away before she got behind me in line at the metal detector.  I don't do well with the mentally ill.

This is despite the fact that I work in a therapist's office 2 days a week.

Go figure.

2.  One of our boxers had to be put down on Tuesday.  This isn't funny at all, but it has been weird all day seeing one leash hanging in the garage, one food bowl sitting empty, one dog bed in the corner.  Maybe next week I'll write a memorial post for her, but not today.  Everything still feels too weird.

3.  Our air is out.  This is not weird, just annoying.  But it adds to the overall weird out-of-wack feeling that has been today.  It was too hot for the kids to sleep in their bunk beds, so they're camped out in our bedroom in front of the open slider.  I'm going to go join them and toss, turn, and hope that the ceiling fan makes it cool enough for me to get some sleep.

Happy Friday, everyone!  You all have a good night!

  1. How did I miss this post earlier? Oh well, I'm enjoying getting caught up while the kids are at school. I have my own little funny "she" was a "he" story. So remember when I used to work at Monkey Wards in San Diego like 15 years ago? Well...one lonely night while I was working in the ladies dept. all by myself a very peculiar "she" was trying on evening gowns and coming out of the dressing room for my advice on whether to get the blue sequence or go with a more simple black. (think very large person with broad shoulders and big muscles) Uhhh....AKWARD. The best part was when "she" was paying with a credit card and I had to ask for I.D. and then "she" started laughing and swearing that the male on her driver's liscense was in fact her. Gasp..you don't say?
