WHO IS ‘HELPING’
Tuesday morning started – another cloudy, rainy day. The weatherman promised sunshine — in the afternoon. Drinking coffee, sitting at the table, I opened my morning pills only to discover that the small pill box that held my prescriptions was already opened. Contents released into a plastic bag that holds both containers of pills. I found most of the pills except for 2 pain pills. Not the way I liked to start the day. CONFUSED! HOW? WHY? Where did the missing pills go? After breakfast, I found the 2 small pills sitting side by side on the table.
ASSISTANCE CONTINUED. Something called my attention to the group at the camper on the internet. I posted a THANK YOU to the group providing me with information on the tornado, calming my worry. I noticed an invitation to join me at a meeting that was posted. I DID NOT POST A MEETING AND SAID SO.
I missed a featured story on the news. I managed to roll the program back to find it. Success! I pressed play. The tv switched ALL BY ITSELF to another station. The segment I wanted to watch was all gone.
Finally, the rain stopped. I headed to the store. I moved slowly. Checking for essentials: cell phone, money, car keys, purse before I left the house. I always ask for “HELP” from above driving, shopping, parking, my life. I proceeded SLOWLY. I stopped to mail envelopes, found a lovely place to park and a quarter to rent a shopping cart. Looking at my list, I proceeded slowly through the store. I’m trying to prepare for the heat of summer. Use up frozen food, and pasta. My list was short but my cart was full anyway.
Stopping at checkout, I removed a tube of biscuits from my cart. I watched in amazement as it slipped out of my hand and rolled clear across the floor. Thankfully no one was behind me as I watched it go. The clerk took pity on me and came to my assistance. Not only capturing the wayward rolls but unloading my cart.
At home, parking the car in the garage was a challenge. Parking the car at the store had already caused concern. Thankfully I did it safely. Cooking dinner Did Not present a problem. End to an interesting day. More interesting than some but not unique.
