kittydesadeSo, today on the way to work we found either a person in deep trouble or a dead body. I have no idea, I couldn't see the person's face or any part of flesh on the person, they had long pants and a coat and boots? I think? And a reddish flannel covering the face. And they were sitting on the sidewalk with their legs halfway in the road which is what makes me think they were in trouble, because I've sat in that stretch of road/hill before, there's a perfectly reasonable wall to sit on, a bit of a rise. Places to sit that aren't in the middle of the road. Or even extending into the road. It's a narrow road, it was difficult for us to drive past another car without hitting the person's legs. Anyway, we called the police non-emergency line and I think other people were stopping to call, and hopefully ... something. I don't know what.
Then I got into work and it was marginally handleable if frustrating chaos, and then I popped in a piece of taffy to sit and catch my breath and I found a fucking rock in the piece of taffy. At first I thought it was a filling, but I'm pretty sure all my fillings except one, that was still in, now, are the superhard plastic fake-tooth looking kind. Not the silvery obvious kind, so... I don't even know.
So that's been my morning. I've had better mornings. I suppose it could have been worse, it could have been an identifiably dead body? I'm going to choose to believe the person got questioned by the cops and got up and walked off or was taken to a shelter until I hear otherwise. And I have no idea when the decompensation from that is going to hit, so that's fun.
The boy's father also got the boy a large bulky tool chest thing for which we now have to go clean out the garage. Which we've been meaning to do anyway since we discovered the skylight leak but ... and goddammit I should call those guys back. But we didn't expect to have to do it within the next day or so. The hell.
I don't know. Today's just been exhausting in not very bad ways, but ways that are aggravating even if they mean we're better off than the average, than others, than. And all I want is to order my JetPens crafts supplies, get a bunch of notebooks, and then hide in my house under blankets for a week doing nothing but knitting and sketching and writing. And it's not going to happen but still. I'm tired. I want these random unpleasant surprises to stop happening. Both the ones today and the ones in politics.
