I helped Mema Take a Bath

                                      The "Hired Help": "The $1.00 security guard on high alert. Years ago, when my grandson Captain Chaos was little, I wasn’t feeling well. Achy, tired. I thought: “Hot bath. That’ll fix me right up.” The problem? The bathroom was on the third floor . My daughter was in the basement doing… who knows. Exercising, watching TV, maybe using that Virtual Headset I’m not allowed to touch unless supervised. So naturally, my brain went here: “If I faint in the tub, no one’s gonna hear me.” And then came the bright idea. (Which, for the record, is always dangerous. My bright ideas never end well.)

Lost You Are

  I was on my way home from my friend's house two hours away. Van always drove us, now I use my GPS.    I called my sister to visit while driving home, as I talked to her, I mentioned, I don't remember Road construction on the way down here.     My GPS was strangely silent, not saying a word, like she was gagged and thrown in the trunk I poked the button... Apparently someone forgot to put in an address... no wonder she wasn't yelling at me!    Valerie: "Sounds like you're lost."
