hi
On Monday I was putting the chair in my car and managed to have the seat belt wound around one wheel. Not being a contortionist, I asked a passing gentleman for assistance. (I saw no one else in the strip mall.) He thought I was coming, not going and we had a laugh, while he untangled me.
Today I went to the Library, just two blocks away, and when I reached the ramp, two guys (25-30) were there. I asked them if they were in a hurry or what, as I would appreciate a push up the ramp. I said, as we went up, that the older I became the steeper the ramps appeared. They were very nice.
As I continued on to a mailbox, after the Library, I sensed someone behind me. I look over my shoulder now and again, but not in fear. There were 3 girls dressed and painted in such a way that I wondered why they walked so slowly behind me and didn't pass me. (I carry books, purchases, etc. on the back handles--something I just started in comparison to being younger and afraid someone would steal from me.) I suddenly felt fear, and that one day I might approach the wrong person. I never go out at night, alone, only daytime, but....
I became so involved with that thought and why that I went right past my building.
I would really hate to be attacked or robbed out of my so called 'independence'.
Just announcing a funny chest and a feeling!
