The Hat
I had started to write about something thoughtful and perhaps inspirational today but as I typed the words became more lame as I finished each sentence. Should I change the world with my pompous inspirational thoughts today? Nahhh
Truth be told I was interrupted, thankfully, from my grand musings by my wife when she called and asked if I wanted to come by the dentist and get a cavity filled. Well as tempting as that invitation was I wasn't quite ready for the trip. I hadn't yet showered as I was prepared to spend the day chopping some firewood or doing other manly chores like cleaning bathrooms. I was a mess. But I wasn't getting anywhere writing hoping to put off the chores until it was to late in the day to do them. So I agreed to come by. You see since I have time on some days to fill in when they get a cancellation I felt it was my duty to help the business by going under the drill for an hour. You see I am the guy they call when somebody cancels and they don't want take a second lunch at two in the afternoon to fill the time.
As I said I wasn't prepared for this, dirty jeans, smelly socks and worse than that messy hair.
Well being at home alone none of these things mattered at least to the dogs, who being my only company never complained. Now I had to decide should I shower or just do what was easy, change my socks and put on a hat. Could they work on me while I wore my hat? Would it be in the way while I lay there mouth open drill whiring away inches from my wandering tongue? I had a choice. No hat but that would really bad hair. ( I warned you that this wouldn't be an inspirational story) OK to end the suspense and let you get on with your life I didn't wear a hat but I did the best that could with my hair with some water and a brush. It wasn't pretty but it worked. Maybe I should take a shower every morning like the rest of the world so I am prepared for what ever the day has in store. Next time.
