• Extraterrestrial Abductions Day

Funny story.

When My nephews were just young

(they are in their 20's now)

I teased them about an odd occurrence. 

I have matching birth marks

on the back of both my arms

(in approximately the same location)

and the same on my inner thighs just above the knee. 

(in approximately the same location)

One day,

as kids will do,

one of them happened to notice

one of these 4 marks

and naturally asked what it was.

In my immutable way

and without thinking

I showed him the matching one.

Big eyes he looked at me

and I told him that at least once

I had been abducted by aliens

and those were the marks

the things that held me down made.

Naturally

this had to be told to his brothers

who came to learn more.

Yup, cause that's what Aunt Debbie's do.

A busy day cleaning.

I have an online crop tomorrow

and I wanted to be ready.

I cleaned

I organized

I cooked

I sanitized

(I fell asleep in the chair at 6pm)

but back to it until now

when I spilt a coke.

That is a sacrilege in this house

and an obvious reason to quit.

So here I am finishing my day.

John is off to work.

His company has been deemed

an ESSENTIAL service

so he will keep working.

His shift is a blessing,

no one is IN the warehouses

at night so the only people

he comes in contact with 

are the weigh station staff 

if he gets pulled in.

He is being careful for my sake

as much as he can anyway.

So now its a shower,

medications and my bed.

Even the cats are standing here

looking at me because John is down here.

Good night from John Street
