Today i am Practicing

selective schizophrenia........
no, you're not.
i am,too.
no.......you just think you are, and
that's delusional.

Do You Think

it is a bad omen when your day begins with a squirrel falling out of a tree right at your feet? (the syntax is garbled, but you know what i mean)
He just plunked down from a really high branch.
He was stunned, but eventually got himself together enough to sit up on the hot tub and......i swear, he looked absolutely PUZZLED and befuddled.
i could relate, as i fairly frequently begin my own foray into the day by walking into a wall or veering off in a totally unplanned direction.

Think about this.....statisticians say that within ten years the US will have more than six million people wandering around with Alzheimers........ giant toddlers.......
Scary.

Today I Bought a New Pair of Shoes......

Which probably doesn't sound momentous or even noteworthy.
But it is.
True, i bought them from a catalog via the phone.....
but......i bought them.
And afterwards i realized that...........this was an act of affirmation. An act of anticipation.
An act of size 6 COURAGE.
Because when you are a "bubble woman" trapped within the confines of your walls......the very act of buying SHOES is a statement of intent.
Because i do not wear shoes at home...in my house.
So.....somewhere in my mind i have faith that sometime in this next season of my life.....
i intend to GO OUT.
and thus....
i am proud of myself.

i am open to all comments as to exactly WHERE i should wear these all leather, brown, form-fitted mary janes..........yeah, yeah.....i know.....i used to be a stiletto kind of girl.....but.......hey! these look cute in the ad, and......should i happen to fall down, it'll be a shorter fall.
and that is all i have to say. The rest of my opinions can be seen on the Daily Show or Colbert Report.........bye.
