Like a Hoover...

Well, this day sucked like a Hoover. It seems that my car is having issues...possibly a new starter is needed. We will find out for sure tomorrow. While we were at the auto parts store, I was approached by a woman carrying a gas can, and asking for money. I was hesitant to open my purse while standing within reach of her, so I said "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have any money." I went on in the store and retrieved a dollar from my bag, then headed outside to give it to her...when I noticed that she seemed to be staggering. I decided NOT to give her the dollar. Marvin was standing in front of the car talking with the salesman and when they finished...she approached him. He handed her a $5.00 bill straight away! I felt a bit like a cad...but was glad that he was more charitable than I had been. We got into the vehicles and headed several blocks over to a different auto parts store...and there she was...already that far down the street...carrying her can and panhandling! I was irritated, and at the same time...vindicated.

This has been a long, tired day! We didn't get to sleep until well after 12:30 last night, and then I awoke almost every hour all night long. At 5:30, we were both awakened by a terrible crash inside the house...which scared the heck out of us! We both flew from the bed, and after grabbing the pistol and phone...we 'cleared' each room on both floors. Nothing was amiss. We finally gave up, put the gun away, hung up the phone and headed back to bed. I stopped at the bathroom on the way (I think it scared the pee out of me), and there in the bottom of the shower...lay the source of the crashing sound...the shaving mirror and both razors...and a huge spider! The upshot is...that I'm glad we didn't shoot the shower!

Here's hoping for a better nights sleep tonight!

Be Well!
