An Unusual Day

Yesterday was full of unexpected moments. Two in particular.

Around mid-morning, I needed to make an errand run to Santa Monica, so I walked down to my car which I had parked under a tree the night before, and opened the door. I went to step inside, but something in the corner of my eye caught my attention, so I stopped and backed up. Inside the door, barring my ability to sit in the driver's seat was a large, intricate spiderweb, complete with a large yellow spider. I have no idea how this spider got into my car, but there it was, happily spinning. Unfortunately, I had to move the little thing since I needed to get into my car, so with a small branchlike piece of wire, I moved the spiderweb out of the car then dusted the spider out as well. I hope he or she finds another good place to spin.

The second incident was later in the afternoon as I was taking out the trash. I stepped onto my front stoop and saw the guy who wears the doctor's mask and flannels (despite how warm it is) daily out for his run. For the first time ever, he said hello, so I greeted him as well, then went to put the trash away. But then, when I was done, another guy came up to me and asked me if I knew why he wore the mask, I said no, but I guessed maybe he had a respiratory problem. He said that the guy was just scared of the air. Ok. Whatever. But then, he went on to talk to me about my necklace and how it means everlasting life. (Really? It's a key with wings. I don't know about that) and how he's a medium. Uh-huh... Then he asked for my birthday and I told him the day and month and he said my numerology is 7 and 8 meaning I'm the yin yang and I have one foot in this world and one foot in the spirit world. At that point, I said I really had to go.

Curiouser and Curiouser.
