A very lazy day.
I read a lot, and did laundry.
No cancer related thinking today :-)
I grabbed some money and went to the liqueur store for some Sherry.
One bottle usually costs R29.95. They were on sale for R26.95. I counted my change, and I had R54 exactly. Providence? :-)
So I handed the teller lady my pile of change. She looked at it, and at me with a funny look. An old phrase came to mind, "Like a stunned haddock".
I told her that the bottles were 26.95 each, times 2, is 10 cents under 54 rand, and I just handed her 54 rand, and I expect 10 cents change. More "stunned haddock". Then she walked away and came back with a calculator, and started counting the change. I swear I could smell fish.
The other day I was walking to the mall. At a large intersection, about a kilometer from the mall, was a stalled car. In it were two young girls, about 18 each. One got out and started to push. About 20 meters across the intersection on the left was an empty lot. If you turn to the right, up a hill was the mall.
I started to help push, but was thinking about my back, and not hurting it. We had pushed about halfway across the intersection when the girl driving turned right. I stopped pushing and walked to her and asked what she was doing. She said they are going to the MacDonalds at the mall. I told her she should be going to the empty field to the left, not one kilometer up a hill. She gave me a look, that made me want to do extreme violence to her. She then said in a voice as if was a child, "I told you we are going to the MacDonalds!"
I just walked away. She said bad things.
This whole cancer thing seem like it just can't be true. I am strong, healthy, fit. If there is really cancer, I just don't see it.
I found your blog of today very amusing. :-) I agree - there are pretty weird people in our world. Sometimes we are weird ourselves. :-) You feel strong, healthy and fit today - view each day as a gift - to be fully embraced. LL
