God it was so funny this morning – my day starts out with a bright light then darkness some mornings – simply priceless.
Okay let me set the stage for this bit of drama. My bedroom has to doors that led into it. One that goes out into the hallway that leads to the kitchen and main rooms. The other one comes in from the bathroom they are situated to where you can not have both open at the same time, crazy I know but go figure it was possibly a man who designed these floor plans.
My bed is up again the far back wall facing the main door with the bathroom door to the right of this on that same wall is the door for the walk-in closet. I was getting dressed inside my walk-in closet Mouse and JuJuBear were up on the bed with Mouse laying there facing the bathroom door gnawing on her toes mainly watching me but glancing around into the bathroom every now and then. Moose is in the closet with me pushing her forehead into my legs and then winding her body around my legs like a cat. Hey with a 60+ pound Moose acting like a cat my attention is focused on one subject balance as I put my pants on. I have the closet light on and the bathroom light on and the rest of the room is dark, I mean very dark, I have extra thick drapes covering the windows. I like it dark in my bedroom, I mean very, very dark, for sleeping and noise control.
The next thing I know I am standing in total darkness, pitch blackness, for a minute maybe more, no big deal I know where the fuse box is and it maybe that lighting has struck (something about rain on the radio earlier) and the power is out for a while, I have already selected my clothes for the morning it is just a matter of getting into them which is not a problem except for Moose who is glued to my legs right now.
The lights are only off a couple of minutes at most and when they come back on my eyes are drawn to Mouse who is now in full upright sitting mode with her full attention focused on the bathroom with this look of disbelief on her face, she looks at the bathroom and you see her eyes narrow the way you or I would if we were thinking trying to decide if what we saw was what we saw. It was so hilarious watching these thoughts run through her mind, then she glances over at me in the closet and we make eye contact and then she looks back and forth between the bathroom and me without really moving her head as if she is being watched as if to say did you just see what I saw??? I shug
Her eyes drift back to the bathroom and narrow again as she just continues to stare into the bathroom as if she suspects someone is in there playing with the light switch, then she looks around like she is doing a head count and seeing all of us in the bedroom with her I can feel the tension rise in her, she is about lose it. I see these these shades of doubt crossing her mind, and her clam is replaced with apprehension as these thoughts seem to run through her mind, ghost, apparition, darkness descending, something unexplained has entered her world, she is on the verge of full blown bark till you drop panic, but then she sees that I am not freaking out and the others are okay so she just tosses it off, does a full body shake as if to rid herself of monsters and goes back to gnawing her toes.
I tell you it was one of those priceless moments in time where you wish you had a video crew there filming, oh except I was still half dressed so maybe for the sake of the immature audience it would be better if the film crew did a reenactment – lets see who would I choose to play me. Mmmmm let me see Mandy Moore maybe yes maybe her I think she could pull it off. What do you think - who should play me??? Suggestions welcomed --
