Karma has a great fall or a not too bad summer.
As Karma would have it a few weeks ago my boss lady called me from her cell phone and ask that I bring her something she had forgotten out to the car, Well me being the dutiful Secretary that I am I retrieved the item from her desk and went outside to hand it to her as I was walking to the car my feet became caught in a crack in the sidewalk and down I went timber.... and splat on the sidewalk face first. My boss lady later commented that I seem to fall in slow motion. When later telling the story I told my BFF this she too stated that I did have an uncanny ability of being about to fall in slow motion.
I wondered to myself it this was a talent or a superpower or what. It made me think of another time in a Galaxy far, far away called the 80's......
As Karma would have it there is not a graceful bone in my body although I can fall with style.
When BFF and I were in Jr. high school before we got our Drivers License we walked every were we wanted or needed to go. Living in a small town has its advantages after all.
So here we are BFF and I doing our usually summer routine of taking a walk to town to grab a tasty summer treat of a banana spilt from the local Tastee-Freeze. We round the corner of main street when what does BFF spy but her secret crush washing his truck at the car wash. BFF stops in her tracks "Oh no." she says "He can't see me like this, I am all hot and sweaty." Grabbing me by the arm and dragging me across the street."Quick in here." She said pointing to the post office. We go up the steep concrete stairs and dash inside. We glance at the busy postal employees and then casually check out the FBI's most wanted while BFF says "Cool I can see S.C. (secret crush) what a great view." I on the other hand did not really care to hang out all day at the post office and wondered to myself A.How long it would take S.C. to finish his task of truck washing and B.How long it would be before we were going to be able to standing there peering out the window before someone thought we were casing the joint.
All of the sudden S.C. was on the move finish up his truck washing with a few finally swip of his towel. BFF says" Quick lets go he is leaving , I want to go talk to him now." So I head toward the door open first one door than the other. BFF behind me saying"Hurry he is going to leave." I am thinking I thought you were too hot and sweaty looking to want to talk I turned to say this when. Yes that right folks in slow motion I began to bounce down the very steep concrete stairs like a scene from a movie the stairs seem to get taller and taller and steeper. I keep thinking could I just hit the ground already and get this over with.
Finally with a bone jarring final bounce I make it to the bottom of the stars where I lay on the sidewalk dazed looking up at the bright summer sky and thinking I really need to get up and make sure everything is still in working order. I ease up to sitting position then stand and begin to dust myself off. Only to discover BFF across the street talking to S.C. I am still half way dazed and wonder did BFF even see me fall. I begin to limp across the street Zombie style, my leg is sore and does not want to mind me. When BFF looks up and comes flying back across the street looking around quickly she asks "Did anyone see you fall." " I hope no one we know saw you ." She states.
Oh man. Nice Karma real nice later that night BFF calls me and says " So you want to go Rollor Skating tonight?"
