This was written Thursday but forgot to post it until today....sigh....
In between yesterday and today I’ve come across a few oddities that have captured my attention. Thursday in general is odd just because it’s so neglected---it’s as if people want to close their eyes and just time travel to Friday without even giving the day its proper due. Except for the guy who got into the elevator with me this morning, looked at me (while wearing a biker leather jacket but being about 6’2’ with a mushroom haircut and printed happy tee underneath which made him seem altogether unusual) and said:
“Thursday.”
And then nothing. Hmm…yup…it is….thanks for the warning?
As weird as that is it was only toward the end several hours of oddities like these:
- Last night I was in the shower and picked up a facial cleansing product belonging to my sister that read, “If product is not suitable for skin, discontinue use.”
Gee thank you O Wise Wizards of Dermatology. Cause, if it was unsuitable for my skin and you HADN’T said that, I’d just keep using it and using it and….
- An African American fellow in a tanning salon. Because??
- A woman at work needs a “foster care home” for five baby kittens. I live in a one bedroom with my two other sisters and a cat and my older sister’s turtle. All signs point to --- FULL HOUSE. [and agreed, CRAZY too, but meh, whatever.] So did I say “Sure! Bring ‘em on!”? Why yes I did. Because I’m hoping to be a certifiable grade-a single-woman cliche with ten cats to whom I will leave my beat-up Honda when I die.
- One of my sister Lindsey’s clients thought that I was Lindsey’s daughter. Considering she’s two years YOUNGER that’s just mathematically problematic.
- Also on the odd radar: When you ask someone what their daily life is like in a developing country, they respond: “Well that’s a loaded question.” Loaded with WHAT? Curiousity? Isn’t that the case with questions in general?
