jeeeeeeepers....

so I stepped outside my townhouse this afternoon..... I hadn't been out since Tuesday.. ( I have been stuck at home, sick, all week.. ugh ) ..My ears are still plugged, I'm kinda dizzy.... I'm not 100% yet....

anyway... I had to go pick my son up at school....

Just as I stepped out the door, the kid next door... ( who somehow heard my name once, and REMEMBERED.....) JUMPED UP and hollered...

HI P A U L !!!!!

gasp

Good G R I E F kid... you scared me!!


I walked to my car.....

HEY PAUL??

yes?

ARE YOU MOVING?

( no, in fact, nothing is moving since you shouted at me... not even my HEART )

No... the "For Sale" sign in the front yard is for the guy NEXT DOOR to me; he and I share the 16 square foot front lawn ( we've already HAD this conversation, kid )

Oh.... cause every week... you pack your car up with stuff.

( so I'm being WATCHED ) ....

yes, i know... I work on the road...

I leave every week, and am gone for 4 or 5 nights... you probably know that, cause my car is never here those nights...

yeah, I know.....

long pause.....

Does that scare you paul?

HUH??? does what scare me?

( I wanted to say... "DOES IT SCARE ME THAT THE TOWNHOUSE NEXT DOOR IS FOR SALE???? yes, I am a REALTAPHOBIC" .....I guess I am a litttttttttttle testy after 3 days home with the flu ...)
