Weird things happen
I often tell about the wild and weird things that happen with Espen but I am reminded that I started a blog when he was just a baby because I have the accidental fortune to break a ton of things.... but besides the breaking of things (right now I am forbidden from touching the lawnmower since last weekend I ran it over a metal rebar jacking up the blade), wild weird things JUST HAPPEN.
About 10 days ago I was on my run, still in the neighborhood. I came upon a man in uniform attempting to catch a giant border collie mix. He was not having much luck so I offered to help (should have kept walking). While he called humane society I tried to befriend the dog. The dog was not running off but was not in the mood to be close to me (or the man). After a few attempts at the humane society (I was not surprised that they did not answer having a history with them myself) the man suggested that we try to put the dog in the back yard of the VACANT house next door to him and he would be responsible for calling to get the dog picked up. So the dog followed me over to the house.
As we were closing the gate on the dog, the man's wife comes and says "SOMEONE MOVED IN".... oh my gosh..... we opened the gate and watched the dog go up the steps to the back door and HE WENT IN THE DOGGIE DOOR straight into the house....
The man knocked on front door and no one answered.... I said, have a good day and I left, rather quickly....
Imagine the surprise of the people living there if it was not their dog...
I have not seen the dog since and I have not been walking past that house.... I don't want to be recognized!
Weird things just happen to me....
Today I had to refill a prescription... I take it to Target and they don't have it. WHAT? So I go to Hyvee and they had to check to be sure they have it. HUH? They did (thankfully) so while I waited I go to get a coffee. The young lady at Starbucks was very pretty and told me she appreciated that I did not have on makeup and that I was so comfortable with a messy hair-do... oh yea.. that is me.. totally forgot what I looked like when I left the house and then I was so frazzled about the prescription... then she keeps chatting and finally says "THANK YOU for standing here talking to me, a creeper man keeps coming by and he is bothering me.".... I stayed and chatted with her for a few more minutes. And paid full price for my coffee... geesh!
Weird things... all the time.... Nothing I do is ever simple. There is never a moment when my list is easy. Sometimes it makes me giggle but lately it is exhausting... I need just one thing to be easy and free of weird!
