I'm pleased. Two hours ago
there's a knock on my door and of course (silly me I always think
someone is there waiting to come in) so I shout, as I always do,
“come in!” no one comes in and then I remember my headset was
supposed to arrive this afternoon. And sure enough I go to the door
open a crack and there is the blue-and-white shipping envelope from
Amazon. I'm sure there's some place in the country the Amazon rep
waits for the door to be answered but not here. They knock on the
door, like somebody really wants to see me, then must sprint out of
the building as fast as their delivery legs can take them. They drop
the package and run. I'm still amazed that it's been less than 24
hours from ordering my headset to it showing up, outside my door, on
a federal holiday.
Part of me wants to drop
everything I'm doing drag the package in, open and plug-in but, the
more sensible side of me says wait. There is no hurry the package
will be there in an hour or two. You don't want to the package to
think this is your first time. Let the package cooled feels for a
minute or two. I flip on the news and become terrified for a minute
as I watched the people in the southern portion of United States get
flooded out. Like an idiot, I try to put myself in their shoes, the
second that I do that I terrify myself. What would I do? If the
floodwaters hit here? Then I start perseverating what would happen if
the great earthquake to happen this very second? I mean I watch all
these natural disasters around this country in the world and wonder
why I'm so lucky to live where I do. I mean when the big one hits
everything I mean the land this post liquefy from 13th
East West. I'm sure the fact that I live in a three-story building
and I'm on the bottom means the building is going to pancake right on
top of me the only thing I can pray for that happens fast and I'm not
trapped sitting in my power chair totally immobilized. It took me a
few minutes to a few commercials to get past that bout “stinking
thinking”. I'm not sure if I'm totally passed that point even yet
but at least I can function.
With dread I opened the
package and sure enough there was my headset. I just knew I was going
be sorry when I tried to plug it in something was not going to work
y'all know me and buyers remorse. But, I plugged in and sure enough
it's working like a champ. I'm totally pleased. It's really taken
everything I've said perfectly so much better than before. On top of
that, I can actually listen to audio through my computer through the
headphones. This is a treat to some degree. I can to get spooked
being cut off from my surroundings. I listened to my game that I play
a couple songs from the Petula Clark, especially Downtown, I love
that song in the time before 1966 motorcycle wreck which changed my
life…
High point of my day not
the headphones but Dianne dropped off corned beef and cabbage for the
treat I'm in for…
