 <\/p>\n

This day was askew.\u00a0 Not necessarily bad, at all.\u00a0 It just seemed like everything was on its side.<\/p>\n

I am a creature of habit. It\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

In fact\u2026 I am about as much about the \u201croutine\u201d as they come.\u00a0 I probably would have been great in the Armed Services\u2026. in THAT way at least.\u00a0 If there is a regulated course\u2026 I am the one to follow it.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t mind eating the same thing over, and over, and over again.\u00a0 In fact, I kind of like it that way.\u00a0 Same with the the schedule.\u00a0 And I like everything in its place, neat and tidy.<\/p>\n

This is more commonly known as OCD.\u00a0 But I am WAY off topic.<\/p>\n

Back to the day being turvy\u2026 and topsy.<\/p>\n

I had breakfast this morning with my Bro at the Eaton Place. This was really very nice, and I enjoyed it thoroughly\u2026 it was just out of my normal morning schedule of a workout and breakfast at home.<\/p>\n

Then, the two of us went to visit Mom at Greenbriar.\u00a0 She wasn\u2019t in her room.\u00a0 She is ALWAYS in her room.\u00a0 But not today.\u00a0 She was in the Beauty Shop getting her hair curled up beyond belief.\u00a0 So we sat in there, took long deep breaths of that permanent-solition-smell\u2026 and had a great visit.<\/p>\n

The entire day went this way.<\/p>\n

It wears me out when things are a little sideways.\u00a0 I think I get tired from holding my head tilted at an angle.\u00a0 Just a bit off-center.\u00a0\u00a0 Which may explain the reason I am so light-headed tonight and not making much sense.<\/p>\n

Even the baby chicks had their heads all cocked on the slant, this evening.<\/p>\n

Yet another indicator, reminder, and affirmation that this day was leaning sideways.\u00a0 Hence, my head on a tilt.<\/p>\n

Which\u2026 I suppose\u2026 can be quite problematic.\u00a0 Because when you are seeing the world edgeways\u2026 you may not be capable of reading the writing on the wall.<\/p>\n

Heavens.\u00a0 And when you can\u2019t read the writing on the wall\u2026.. perhaps you don\u2019t know for sure when your ship is coming in.\u00a0 And THEN\u2026. IF you miss the fact that your ship is coming in\u2026..
\n\u2026. you, my friend\u2026. have missed the boat.<\/p>\n

And we know what happened when the dinosaurs and the unicorns missed that ONE boat\u2026.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m simply pointing out things can go terribly wrong.<\/p>\n

I just hope tomorrow will be a little more on track.\u00a0 Maybe\u2026. if I can get my head on straight\u2026.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.\u00a0\u00a0 —\u00a0 <\/span>Voltaire<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
