Welcome to April!
And for those of you who are keeping track: 25% of the year has now gone by.
As it is for so many of us, this week is rent week. A week that we all feel so much good fuzzy feelings for! Am I right? No?!?? Oh well. It can be a chore and a hassle but we do it because we want to keep having a place to live.
This morning as I was going to grab my coffee, I remembered that I needed to grab the money order that I had for my own rent.
Well, April in Texas is also stormy season. A cold front blew in so it was a bit chilly outside. Very windy too!
I picked up the money order and headed back outside. But the wind nearly pulled the money order out of my hand. I do have pockets, but they aren’t that deep and I didn’t feel secure enough with all this wind that it would stay in there. I did the next best thing that I could think of.
I stuck the money order in between my teeth and bit down and proceeded to move forward.
The moment I turned the corner at top speed and was facing a northern direction, that crazy wind got in the way.
As I was accelerating in speed because I was going down a hill, the wind got stronger and flipped that flimsy piece of paper upwards and back into my face. The width of the paper and its placement between my teeth literally caused a blind spot.
Before I knew it, the wheelchair had turned off of the sidewalk and I went tumbling down the rest of the hill, head over heels, over and over and over again. The money order never coming out of my mouth.
It took quite a while for the empty wheelchair to catch up to me. And I climbed back in. All the while gritting down on the money order so it would not fly away in the wind.
I am fine though. I didn’t seriously hurt myself. I wasn’t bleeding or anything like that. I had the sense to roll with the roll so to speak.
But I have always said that rent was going to kill me one day. It came a little bit closer today than before!!!
Everyone enjoy a laugh from the story. Happy April to everyone!!!!!!!
