Weird Week


Life has been so weeiiirrrd this week!!! 

Alana, me, and Brittainy on Halloween
First, on Halloween, I lost two credit cards, one debt card and my iPad Mini.  Fortunately, I found them fairly quickly - thank goodness - but boy, did I sweat bullets until I got everything back! In an age where your actual identity can be stolen, people have to be so careful ....

On Tuesday, I received an email from a camp counsellor who I haven't seen in forty years! It was so great to get in touch with him. The best things I remember about Claremont Camp are this guy, the beautiful scenery,  rug hooking, and canoeing.

And then,on Thursday afternoon I ran into a friend who I hadn't seen in ten years.  It was so good to see him, catch up, and laugh at our memories.

Later that day, I took both cats to the vet. On the way home, I had one cat on my lap (in a carrier) and one (in a carrier) behind me on my wheelchair. It must have been such a funny sight!  (Both cats were meowing loudly!)  And yet, this guy, who was obviously high as a kite, came up to me and started rubbing my hair and saying, "Wow. Your hair is so beautiful and vibrant!"  He didn't even notice the cats! 

Of course, I raced away from this guy as fast as I could!

Today, at the market, this customer told me that she'd had a dream three nights ago about somebody writing on a board: "A.K.A." So, today she came by my booth and saw my signature and I told her those are my initials and she said, "Oh my god! I had no idea what my dream meant but it's like I was destined to meet you!" I was very touched when she began to cry and told me that she had a sister with A.L.S.

It's been an eventful, fun(ny), slightly weird week.  Except for that weird guy who touched my hair, it was great to connect and re-connect with people!
