Today has been great, but it did not start out that way. When I woke up this morning I was in the middle of doing my habit (Part II: sitting up while loudly clapping my hands together) when Henry, a mere 115 pounds, jumped up on the bed and came crashing down on my pillow that was right next to me, causing me to slide off of the bed and land on the floor in an almost perfect lotus position.
Even though Tony heard the loud thud when my butt hit the wooden floor, he did not come running, because he assumed that I was just doing the last part of my habit (Part III: Jumping up from the bed.) So I just sat there staring up at Henry Standing Bear hoping that he would not jump off of the bed and pounce on top of me.
Since I was already in the best lotus position that I've ever been able to achieve, the shock was beginning to wear off, so I figured that I might as well try to meditate since my legs were already locked—together, so I put my hands together like this 🙏 and whispered, "Namaste."
Well, that was a stupid thing to do, because Henry had never heard me speak this word before, so I guess, because he is language-challenged (I'm trying to be politically correct here.) and because I have a thick Texas accent, Henry must have thought that Namaste meant "Please come sit with me."
So Hen jumped down, from the bed and then he immediately tried to sit down on my lap and numbed legs.
Anyway, as Henry was attempting to do his first sit-in while I was trying to push him off of me, Tony came out of the bathroom, looked down at me, on the floor, and asked, "Is that another new habit?"
"Yes," I calmly replied, a little bit sarcastically. "I call it—Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!..." And a few minutes later with Tony's much needed help—Henry was outside happily watering our flowers and trees for us, while I was inside, sipping my first cup of coffee.
Late this afternoon, I went over to visit Carol and I really enjoyed myself. And as always we talked and laughed non-stop. And that is about it for tonight. Namaste!
Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!

That is too funny. I was snuggled with my kitties this AM when I heard gagging and retching in my left ear. My orange cat was laying on my left shoulder. I managed to untangle the blankets, grab Rita Mae, and land on my feet before the flood. And like you, am now having my first cup of coffee. It'll have to be a good day now.
Good morning Mary! Thank goodness for your quick reflexes. Today is going to be a great day!
