A day with Kali

Had a very odd day today.  Sat down in what is usually one of the busiest positions in the room at work, and instead I had a very relaxing day while the person sitting next to me had so many contacts she almost lost her voice working them.

After work, I stopped by two stores.  At the first store, there were two free parking spaces right next to each other.  I pulled into the left one, and another woman pulled into the one on my right.  Just before getting out of my truck, I glanced out my passenger side window and looked at the woman as she pulled into the spot.  She was looking straight ahead, not at me.  Instead of putting her foot on the brake to park the car, she put her foot down on the gas and her car leapt forward, crunching her fender against the high curb.  I quickly got out of my truck and headed off, pretending not to see to spare her the embarrassment of an audience.

At the second store, I was just leaving the register and heading for the door, when the person standing in line behind me must have knocked into a metal stand of some sort and it went crashing over.

Readers take note:  If you ever see me at the grocery store, go to the post office instead.

  1. Hi Marcheline, Just got your lovely comment on my blog. I don't know why people don't comment. Maybe I need to do more to encourage it. If you have any advice let me know. Thank you for visiting and I'm delighted to have found your blog too. Happy new year! xx

  2. Hello Miss Whistle and welcome to Mental Meatloaf! Glad you stopped by. Hope my brand of crazy doesn't scare you off. You know what they say, there's nothing better for finding your center than getting knocked right off center once in a while. Actually, I just made that up. They never said that. And who the hell are they, anyway?

    Come back as often as you can stand it!

    P.S. My trick for getting more comments is to always include the word "naked" someplace in the labels of each post. It draws them like flies. Not that we really need more flies, come to think of it, but I definitely get more comments that way. 8-)
