well i didn't have to work as late as i thought and class was canceled tonite...so today i'm delivering another carrier's route i'm walk up the driveway of an elderly lady's house she's bent over next to her car trying to pick up a bag of groceries she appears to have osteopsoris (sp?), may be 5' tall if that and weighs 80lbs or less her walking cane si way ahead of her and out of reach so anyways, i ask her if she'd like some help her reply is "NO!", and "I can't pick up this bag" so i drop my mail, put her mail in her grocery bag and moved it to the security gate "your mail is in your bag" "thank you" she says and i left i would have stayed and offered to wait til she got into her house, but i sensed she didn't trust me it isn't the first time a customer hasn't trusted me despite being obviously the mailwoman delivering their mail it probably won't be the last either it was just another reminder of how much fear some people live in, especially the elderly it seems not that i blame them.....
anyways, further along down the route i run into an old acquaintenance of mine, Pauline she lives on the route i delivered today but i wasn't expecting to see her it's her week off and she was bakin cookies which she shared with me..delicious...her and i played softball years ago together she's still coaching i think, a senior league of women it was good to visit for a moment she still has that Toyota truck i sold her about 15yrs ago (that's another story and all it entailed...it was my ex-lovers' truck) anyways, Pauline seemed rather nice today she's usually bitchin about something for she is a perfectionist i've stilled always liked her but sometimes we have wanted her to shut up on the ballfield.....
finally i get to the end of the route today i discover that i'm missing some mail i had to check and double check that my eyes were not deceiving me i chuckled and delivered what i had someone else put the mail together today and he forgot to pull the residual mail (magazines, newspapers, large envelopes, and a few letters that are manually sorted in the a.m.) i chuckled for i have done the same thing at times you're in such a routine of doing everything and during these stressful times just a moment interruption throws you out of whack o well, the most important first class letters were delivered today....lol
now what does funky little toes have to do with any of today my little toes' nails are just that for awhile the toe nails have been growing and falling off when i go to trim them the whole nail just falls off on both of my little toes the only thing i can think of is possibly side affects from my meds i'm not worried though but they do grow back funky and will hurt if not trimmed while walking my 10mi route today's route was a walker and they hurt so it's due time to remove those funky toe nails.....but first, dinner i'm trying something new, Jimmy Dean's breakfast skillet if it's good, i'll pick more up for quick breakfasts before work better than eatin oatmeal all the time, ok half the time the other half is at NY Bagel a breakfast bagel with bacon, egg, and swiss cheese on everything bagel but these skillets should be less expensive and more food for the money i'll let you know if they're worth it....in the meantime, take care i'll be back when i can....
