Wherefore At My Door, Opossum, Oh Possum?

Sometime during the last six months or so, I started going outside with Louis when I let him out at night. I’ve been doing this because:

  1. my parents guilted me into it
  2. my neighbor told me how many times he and his wife have seen bobcats around here
  3. there was recently a snake in my yard (click here to read about that)

I’ve lived here for 13+ years and Louis has lived here for 8+ years.  Nothing’s ever gotten him yet, but that doesn’t mean it can’t ever happen.  For the past year or so, my parents have pretty consistently shared their concerns that an owl is going to swoop down out of the sky, snatch up their little Grand-Doggy and eat him up.  “He’s a little dog.  An owl will grab up a little dog before you know it.” continue reading

Some Things Just Defy Logic

So this is what happened last night:

I went to a cookout at my sister and brother-in-law’s house.  Happy Birthday, Steve!

I stopped by the grocery store on my way home.

I came home.

I brought myself, my purse and my work bag into the house.

I let Louis out. 

I headed back out to get the groceries.

I then proceeded to mow the lawn as my frozen vegetables melted in the back seat.

I was wearing my one good pair of work shoes and the “fancy for me” new shirt I still haven’t paid for.

I mowed half the yard before I lost the light.

I accidentally left the car window down, which reminded me what I was supposed to be doing.

I got the groceries before they turned into mush and yet another example of money well wasted.

I went inside, dripping sweat and nearly dripping groceries.

I should have mowed the lawn two weeks ago, or on any of the subsequent 14 days.

I chose to mow the lawn while on my way out the to the car to get the groceries.

I don’t know why.

Some things just defy logic.
