Spread your wings and fly away

Sitting here catching up on posts before I get kicked off again, I feel something on my arm.

I rub it

It still feels though something is crawling on me.

I scratch, not paying much attention to arm

A while later, i feel something on my arm again

I look this time and it is a very, very small spider crawling on my arm.

Good job they don't scare me isn't it lol

I actually kept my mammogram appointment. I was met with, 'Hi! I'm Belinda!' This perky clipboard carrier smiled from ear to ear, tilted her head to one side and crooned, 'All I need you to do is step into this room right here, strip to the waist, then slip on this gown.

Everything clear?

I'm thinking, 'Belinda, try decaf. This ain't rocket science.'

Belinda skipped away to prepare the chamber of horrors.

With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left and said, 'Hmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toes and lean in a tad so we can get everything?'

Fine, I answered. I was freezing, bruised, and out of air, so why not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck and finish me off?

My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my other boob wedged between those two 4 inch pieces of square glass) when we heard, then felt a zap! Complete darkness and the power went off!

'Oh, maintenance is working. Bet they hit a snag.' Belinda headed for the door.

'Excuse me! You're not leaving me in this vise alone are you?' I shouted.

Belinda kept going and said, 'Oh, you fussy puppy...the door's wide open so you'll have the emergency hall lights. I'll be right back.'

Before I could shout 'NOOOO!' she disappeared.

And that's exactly how Bubba and Earl, maintenance men extraordinaire, found me, half-naked and part of me dangling from the Jaws of Life, and the other part smashed between glass!

After exchanging polite 'Hi, how's it going' type greetings, Bubba (or possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I knew the power was off.

Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as possible 'Uh, yes, yes I did thanks.'

'You bet, take care' Bubba replied and waved good-bye as though I'd been standing in the line at the grocery store.

Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin. Making no attempt to suppress her amusement, she said, 'Oh I am sooo sorry!' The power came back on and I totally forgot about you! And silly me, I went to lunch. Are we upset?'

And that, Your Honor, is exactly how her head ended up between the clamps...

It did start out nice I have to say. A trip to Milton Keynes this morning where I was treated to breakfast, browsed round the shops, got some clothes for the boys for our looming holiday, and a top for myself, and then headed back home for a lovely cup of tea.

it is pouring down outside now !!

I do plan on doing some exercise later if I can tear myself away from the latest chick lit, then again I may just sit and do some sewing - maybe not lol

Just ordered my tax disc online, no doubt it will not come very quickly and I will be driving around without the new one, though hopefully not lol!

Right have a child standing behind me waving his arms and tutting as I was only supposed to be on here to pay a couple of bills and not hogging the computer or taking up his study time !!!

See you later folks!
