Random University Maintenance Man to me: “So I see you survived the night.”
Me: “What? Me?”
RUMM: Nods “Yeah, looks like you survived just fine.”
Me (very confused): “Yup. I made it through.”
RUMM: “That’s good. There were no electrical fires or anything then.”
Me (even more confused): “Nope. Sure weren’t. I’m still here!”
RUMM (laughs): “That’s great! See ya!”
My Co-worker: “What was that about?”
Me: “I have no idea. I hope he wasn’t trying to tell me he’s trying to kill me.”
I was out for my morning run today when I heard a car slowing down in the road next to me.
As I looked over, the man inside rolled his window down, smiled and yelled at me, “can I give you a lift?”
I shook my head, said “no” and promptly turned the corner off that street.
The man sped off and I booked it home.
I don’t think he was going to abduct me…But you can never be too sure…
(I had to go AGAIN this morning before work because I broke a tooth last week.)
Love these people!

Thank you for all the comments and likes on this post. This is why I like this community. You all get me and understand me. Even when I’m being completely irrational. Thank you for that. And I’m so glad to know that I’m not alone when I go to Crazy-town. We all go there sometimes.
And Melissa. There are no words to express my thanks to you for that compliment! To know that you feel that I’m that strong just makes me want to straighten my spine and take on the world. Thank you, a thousand times thank you!
