Wandering

 

The last few days could be described

as

wandering.

 

Wandering to work,

wandering around the house,

wandering through things that need done.

Just wandering.

 

I find that I can't get interested in anything

long term.

 

This is the only thing that held my interest

through the last

three weeks...

and it is done.



 

Have you ever not wanted to finish a project?

 

I sure didn't want to finish this.

I liked working on it.  

 

Have to find something else now to keep my interest.

I even tried organizing my knitting needles

and

crochet hooks.

That took all of a half hour.

 

I have started a bunch of other projects. 

Maybe I will finish one of those. 

 

And now,

for the funny story,

Because you knew that there would be at least one.

 

My MIL would have laughed and laughed.

 

How I wish that I could tell her...

to watch her laugh.

 

We had visitation at our church,

that is the way she wanted it.

 

She had friends,

some a little strange,

but at her age,

many of her "fun" and "normal" friends had passed on before her.

 

She had this one friend.

A sort of "Lost in Space"

friend.

 

She also had an old dear friend that she had known since

they were little girls

living on the same street

both being raised by single mothers

in a time when that

was not as

"fashionable"

or easy as it is today. 

They had a bond.

While they didn't get to see one another that often,

they would talk and laugh on the phone.

 

These two friends did not know one another.

At the viewing,

the

Lost in Space friend was coming through the line

as

spacey as ever.

 

The old friend was at my daughter

and the spacey friend was at me

in the line,

when the old friend

placed her cane

squarely on

spacey friend's foot and pinned her

unknowingly.

 

Spacey friend is pulling and pulling

on her foot trying to free herself

and

old friend is

totally oblivious

to the situation

yakking away to Dianna.

 

Dianna and I, of course are aware

and

see the hilarity of the entire situation

and can't help

breaking into the giggles. 

 

Marilyn would have howled!
