beulahbondo's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mouse II There's a new, bigger mouse lumbering around my kitchen cupboard. It sounds like it's wearing heavy boots. Last night I woke up during the night feeling like my psyche was wearing heavy boots. As I fretted there in the dark about this and that, my building's huge honking fire alarm went off. Outside on the sidewalk, I learned that it was 5:30 a.m. I also learned that most people take the time to put on sneakers and lace them up when they go outside at 5:30 a.m. in December. Not me; just the slippers and coat. My one neighbor took her purse, too. Another had a ferret in a tote bag and a toy chihuaha in a carrier. What would you take? Anyway, the alarm system shorted out because the basement was flooding. The firefighters actually thanked us for coming outside. Then I slept till past 11. Whether it's flu or whatever, every few hours I feel like I'm coming down with some new kind of malaise. What should I be doing differently? 12:10 a.m. - 2003-12-16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
