Perhaps This Is Why I CAIN'T UNDERSTAND NOTHIN'

Sometimes Sundays are boring at the SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5). Especially at the end of the month, when people have run out of disposable income. And when the forecast predicts rain. Every now and then, Farmer H will pass the time by sending me a text. As you might expect from past communications, this is an adventure.

I was not happy Sunday, because I had checked the weather radar from one of the news stations. As usually happens, THEY WERE WAY OFF! I planned my day around their forecast. I wanted to stop in Save A Lot for a few things, and get my lottery tickets. It looked like I would have a perfectly clear window if I was in town from 2:00 to 3:00. So I adjusted my usual schedule by two hours.

Well! It was already raining as I walked out the Mansion door at 2:00. Surely this was an anomaly. It would quit once I got to town. NO! It got worse in town! I decided NOT to wrestle a shopping cart out of Save A Lot. That stuff could wait until Tuesday. 

I got soaked going into the Gas Station Chicken Store, and I even had my rightful handicap space. I wanted other tickets, and instead of Save A Lot's machine, I headed to 10Box. I got out my big broken umbrella that won't stay closed unless I strap it. The workers standing in the door applauded my efforts. It wasn't too bad, because I could stick my tickets in my bra and have both hands free for the umbrella.

Dang it! Once back inside T-Hoe, the umbrella dripping on the passenger side floor, I couldn't find my tickets!!! Oh NO! Did I drop them? I opened the door and looked down. Nope. I glanced back at the path I had taken. I didn't see any tickets. They couldn't just disappear! What if I dropped them inside? I was preparing to get that umbrella and trek inside when I felt them down on my right hip. Whew! I guess they had worked their way out of my new smaller bra as I climbed up on the running board and contorted to bring in the wet umbrella. Still under the shirt, and DRY.

I was back inside the Mansion by 3:07. The rain continued. Around 3:30, it stopped! Those dirty, dirty liars and their weather predictions!

Anyhoo... as I was taking stuff out of my purse, I saw a text. Huh. That wasn't there when I pulled into the garage. I guess it got a better signal while I walked inside the Mansion. Or it could have been a lag because Farmer H has a poor signal in his SUS2.5.

2:21 "Hope your not out in it"

2:33 "It's pouring here and windy"

3:07 "I was. Stupid radar. Showed it getting here 3:00 to 4:30. So I planned town from 2:00 to 3:00. Just got back."

3:12 "I'll leave the saw on my way home ill be here till 4"

3:22 "Okay. No idea what you're talking about."

3:33 "The weather was horrible"

3:40 "What does SAW have to do with it????"

3:48 "That was for HOS sorry sent to wrong person"

Huh. I guess I'm off the hook for not remembering anything about a saw. So much for giving Farmer H credit for telling me when he was leaving. He wasn't even talking to ME! I guess I'll ask him if HOS is cooking his supper these days, so needs to be kept aware of his ETA.
