Adventures in Blind Guy Land

[mmerriam]

Today:

I knocked an unidentified something off the Bakers Rack. I heard it hit the floor with a plastic thump. I wasn't too concerned about breakage, but when I went to look for whatever I knocked onto the floor, I then knocked the scissors off the Bakers Rack. I jumped to get away from the scissors and my foot came down in the middle of some leftover dessert, which had popped out of the plastic container that fell to the floor. I made a big squishy pile of chocolate and caramel and whatever else was in it on the floor and on the bottom of my foot.

And:

When I brought the groceries in from the garage, I left my cart on the patio, went inside, kicked off my shoes, hung up my coat, and quickly changed from jeans in to pajama pants. When I pulled open the blinds on the patio door, a large, fat, gray squirrel was pawing through my groceries. He looked up at me, surprised, and then vanished like a fuzzy-tailed ninja.

Some days.

I talked to my mother tonight. Her surgery is tomorrow morning. I'll be waiting for word from Oklahoma tomorrow while trying not to drink too much coffee (which is what mmerriam's do when nervous or stressed).

careswen doesn't really need to have her minions check up on you like that, does she?

I guess she wants to make sure I'm not holding out on her.

I'll send some positive vibes over for you and your mother. My mom's gone through several surgeries, some pretty serious ones, and it's always stress-making. But she's always come through fine, and your mom will too!

Thanks, I appreciate it the good vibes!

Good thoughts and prayers for your mom's surgery...I hope all goes well.

Another person on my flist posted fuzzy-tailed ninja pics today! Must be National Spot a Squirrel Day.

I hope your mother's surgery goes well.

Except in Mayotte! I must get my squirrel fix from my flist. :P

Some days indeed. Thinking of you.

Thank you.

Oh, dear...I'll have to write that chain of events down for one of my blind POV characters.

hehe. You might not have been on my flist yet when this incident happened: http://mmerriam.livejournal.com/47140.html

Really, if you just want to comb through my blind tag and pluck interesting stories for use, feel free.

Oh, dear. But I expect Reverend Selena wouldn't mind if you did it again. Actually, that sounds like something I might do....without any visual impediment. ;o)

I may take you up on that offer.

Mom's surgery went well, and the little furry ninja did not nick my eggos.

Yay good news!

(obviously squirrel ninja was hoping for whole-grain eggos. Or those blueberry muffin tops--mmm!)
