Crazy Days

I have been trying to walk at least a few days a week. I try to make it interesting by looking for things along the way. I found nothing of interest, feathers, a losing lotto ticket, and a metal handle for something. Yesterday, the wind was blowing hard. I sat under an oak tree and hard green acorns fell on my head. I went home. That was enough for a crazy day. Do you ever have a crazy day? I would love to read about it.

No crazy days? I thought we all have crazy days. Maybe I was wrong.

"The sky is falling!!" (that old story came to mind with the acorns falling on your head ). Everyday is crazy for me - but it's everyday stuff that's not really interesting to tell about. I did have a crazy moment today . . . it was warm all day so we thought it couldn't possibly shower as was forecasted. Well this afternoon, it got dark super fast and it showered for a good 10 minutes. Surprise - didn't think it would happen.

@akalinus Oh no - the shower was actually dinky drops - not enough to get soaked. Henny Penny - yes! The acorns must've felt like bullets !

That is a good surprise--unless you got soaked.

I did not think about Henny Penny saying the sky is falling. It felt like a couple of planets.

I sure get mad on those "crazy days?" and they seem to come in as a group. LOL I buy groceries...and regular stuff, like eggs and bananas for which I do have to walk a tad. And Dad's medicines. I guess, weekly twice or thrice...I am walking...some...not enough but some. But my schedule is pretty tight. On Thursday, I have to buy vegetables. Saturdays, weekly laundry. So two days gone...out of balance five days, three days, I have to grind for breakfast....we eat idlis and dosas...which are breakfast preparations out here. The grinding kinda ties me down. Dad is unwilling to eat anything else...what can I do? Earlier, I could give him other breakfast, including bread, which is the easiest on me. But since last three years, he insists on Idlis mostly. So...yeah...it is pretty much tied down condition. I get to go out only on two days per week other than the Thursdays...

I don't know what those foods are but they sound hard to prepare. You must be worn out.

Anytime I have to go out of the house or get something done on time is a crazy day for me.

I haven't had a crazy day for a while. I guess it's good it was acorns falling on your head and not coconuts.

This is true but those hard little acorns really hurt and surprised me. I had enough and went home.

Unfortunately, it seems like crazy days hit here fairly often!

Yes, things get wild sometimes. All you can do is try to deal with it the best you can.

@MarieCoyle Me too, Marie. I get through life one day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time, and there are times that it is minute by minute.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how crazy that must have been. I'm glad things are better now.

Yes, I did have crazy days sometimes and I got mad. I tried not to talk when I got mad because when I talk about why it happened , I even got more angry. So, I usually kept quiet until I calmed myself.

Okay, I'm sorry something bothered you so much. I won't ask what it was.

The past two days were crazy for me. I spent hours and hours on the phone. Have a good weekend.

@LindaOHio That is probably the worst. Do those companies have humans working there or only bots and humans you can't understand what they are saying and could care less about your problem.

Being on the phone a lot can blow your mind. It makes you tired like you worked all day.

@akalinus Yes. I find it very stressful, especially getting through an automated phone system and trying to talk to a real person.

Sometimes I go out for a walk without thinking where I'm going or where to go.One evening I reached a part of my town I had never seen before.Later one of my friends told about that area.It was the area where people have cows and where pure cow milk is sold. Was not it a crazy walk??

If you go there again, you might meet some cows. You still have a spirit of adventure about you.

@Shivram59 Any time cows are living somewhere, it is a good place.

After reading some of your discussions and comments, I would say you definitely have a crazy life. But, you are strong and rise above these things.
