Miserable-ass night. Up since 5:30 a.m. Felt like I was trying to work myself up into a panic attack and I thought WTF Sharon, get up and get over this. So I did. Got up, dressed and ate breakfast. read the funnies, made a list and was headed to Wal-Mart in the fog. Its 7:30 a.m. Im thinking, so this is why people shop so early in the morning. Hardly anyone there. No hassles, etc. Walking down an aisle and a wave of nausea washes over me and I can tell its not me, its something else causing it and move out of the aisle. Feeling immediately goes away. I think wtf again, only quieter. Afraid of what might conjure up next. Pay for my stuff and head home and Im driving in the southbound lane of 24th street when I see a middle-aged woman stomping toward me in the northbound lanes. Shes heavy-set, middle-aged wearing black pants, black combat boots and a three-quarter length coat unbuttoned and swinging with every step she was taking. The closer I got to her the more I felt that panic and nausea and Im thinking surely to goodness I did not connect with a total stranger in an entirely different part of the city this morning? I caught a glimpse of her face as I passed and saw such anger on her face that it was startling. Her hands were doubled into fists and she was all but daring someone to hit her... freakin walking in the middle of traffic in this fog. I found a place to stop and called 911. I hope they found her before something happened to her. I do know that there was a reason I couldnt sleep, and a reason I went to Wal-Mart in the fog at the butt-crack of dawn, which I never do, and a reason why I took the road home that I was on. Strange things are happening. As my Bobby always said, I need to pay attention. Follow my instincts even when Id rather be in bed sleeping. Ah well... it is what it is. Sometimes as we mature, the goals we set for ourselves can seem shallow and selfish. Its not that we shouldnt pursue them, but you have to ask yourself, what have I gained when they are in my hands?
