A Detailed Peek at a Day in My Life
A story about this and that
The following is a true story. It is about a day in my life. I have given a fair account of all that happened for those not “in the know.”
So I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, walked outside and made my way around the corner. I was minding my business, one thing led to another and wham— I saw it right in the road. I thought to myself “if that don’t beat all.” I said “wait a minute!” Then the stuff hit the fan, if you know what I mean.
Wouldn’t you know it? He followed me here from over there and went about the same old song and dance. To make a long story short, he put the cart before the horse and let the cat out of the bag. He looked at me like “what’s it to ya?” I looked at him and gave him a “what do ya want from me?” right back. I was caught between a rock and a hard place, I guess.
I made my way over from here to there to that place that looks like that scene from that movie. They were talking and I finally had to speak up. “He should be doing that over there and not here,” I said. That did not go over well. There was some hubbub and flim-flam, the sparks started to fly, and that was all she wrote.
I was waiting at the thing, when what’s-his-face saw me, removed one thing then another, very carefully I may add, and said “Watch out for you -know-what, and a certain-somebody, they are bound to do what they do, and then when that happens, the genie is out of the bottle, so to speak.”
We had a good laugh and chewed the fat, until it was finally time to talk turkey. Better late than never, right folks? Anyhow, my day was going a certain way, and then she showed up. She started in, poked around, turned up her nose with a kind of “well how do you do” expression on her face, and finally spilled the beans. I gave her a once-over, took the bait, showed my cards, and then thought about something that had been on my mind for a long time. Gathering the exact words I meant to say I —
My thought was interrupted. None other than Mr. So and So poked his head around the corner. Yep, he was a sight for sore eyes, if you catch my drift. He said: “He never got to point B from point A. It was them over there, not here, and the usual suspects were involved, but not in the way you think, so that is the long and short of it… but not the big picture, but that’s just the way it goes — but don’t hold your breath — cause when the cat’s away….you know…etc., etc.” Whew, I thought, pump the brakes...but better safe than sorry.
So, I stopped, turned around, and said “ain’t that a doozy of a thing.” It was getting late. But before I closed shop, she said, “have a good one, but not like the last one, hopefully better than that we used to do, but that wasn’t all bad, and you know where your bread is buttered, if you see my meaning.” I did.
Thanks for reading about such an all-over-the-place day! I hope I did not bore you with the details. Now you know what I am about, how hard it is, what I do, and the rest of the story. As the old song says, see you over there but not too soon, but don’t wait up, but you know me, I’m always ready.
