Today I woke to the sound of the Snow plow.

Nothing new there,

I live in Atlantic Canada

and we just had the blizzard of all blizzards.

This one was equal to a Level 3 Hurricane

except with snow.

 

Anyway, I have reached that 'age group'

who needs to pee as soon as their toes hit the cold floor.

After that, I reach into the basket for

my toothbrush and paste.

 

I glance in the mirror and........

AUGGHH it's the Crypt Keeper!

Who let you in here??

 

 

 

I reach for my glasses,

and sadly realize

the Crypt Keeper is me.

 

"Today is the day", I say.

As soon as I am done my errands.

 

The weather is worsening

it's  freezing rain/ice pellets

so I decide to grab

a Tim Horton's Coffee;

stop to tell the person that

I was to meet 

that I will see them Tuesday

and head back home.

 

I guess, one can't

put this off much longer.

Darn mirrors,

they are everywhere!

 

So I grab the box from beneath

the sink and start 'mixing'

as the tub fills with water.

I might as well have a bath right?

 

Okay...time travel, time to rinse.

The water around me is the color of

Raspberry jello!!???.

Oh oh, this might not be good.

 

So, I grab the shampoo

the 'foam' on my hands is the color

of

Blackberry juice on your fingers when picking them!!??

 

OKAAAYY round 2.

I again grab the shampoo,

this time the 'foam' is the color of

Blueberries!!??

Crackers! 

 

So by this time I am thinking

it's a good time to shave my legs. 

Although
I just shaved them last night.

 

So, this is officially a stall tactic

because I am beginning

to fear that my

hair may very well

match my 'new to me' blouse.

 

 

Oh darn,

I forgot to turn on the bathroom fan

so the mirror is now fogged up.

 

I guess I may have to wait

to see if I look like

Phyllis Diller

because I can't comb it yet.

 

And thinking maybe I should

take a page from Minnie Pearl

and just wear a hat.
