"Funny" TODAY !

10.30am. today:

The front doorbell rings and I'm startled when suddenly being awoken from my sleep.  A more-than-quick look at the clock and I  quickly realise that the person from the Care agency hasn't arrived.  Shock, horror! 

We had both agreed last week that she would arrive to help me an hour earlier than normal so as to allow me to get ready for my appointment at 11.00am.  I would attend the appointment in Town today.

I madly scurry? (whatever!) into the wheelchair that's situated near the side of the bed and head for the door.  The cats have never moved so fast!

Unsnibbing the lock on the front-door, I see the pre-booked taxi-driver standing there behind the security-door, and at tsunami speed (well, ... it seemed like it at the time!), I asked him if he could wait another five (5) minutes, "please"?

(He said "yes" but, he notified me that it took me seven (7) minutes before I gained the outside access. I've an important appointment and I'd had needed to get dressed.  There would be two (2) persons running to a schedule to meet me.  I really shouldn't reneg!)

I quietly .. but, quickly, raced back into the room and dressed myself.  How was I going to do that??  I visualised pulling the jeans on .. and, with my mind poised on what I was doing, I slowly lifted my right foot, then leg, ... and, pulled my jeans on.  Yay!

I knew I'd be able to assist myself with the nearby 3/4 length navy tee, navy cotton-weight jumper, multi-coloured scarfe of tightly-knitted pink, purplish blue and burgundy colours .. hey, I'm female.  I was unable to put my shoes on.  Looking at the bedsocks on my feet, I was thinking "great, these look okay". "What else could I do??"

With both persons at the meeting, I pointed to my feet and rhetorically asked, "do you like my new shoes?" We laughed about that escapade. 

Needless to say, I'm typing this, while still wearing those "nicely-coloured purple socks" on my feet.  Yes, .. I'm female, and I'm just sooo .. grateful for people who can laugh .. and purple bedsocks!.k.

laugh !
