Interesting Day

So I had an interesting day and was recounting this to my brother-in-law when I decided it was funny enough to share.

"I got hit in the face by a crazy bum today!!  Not kidding. Please let that sink in. Just read and try to picture me getting clocked by a crazy bum.

Here is the story in full: I was out jogging, minding my own business when I started to catch up to a person on the sidewalk going in the same direction as me.  As I looked at the person, I realized I could not tell if it was a boy or girl and that he, she...it looked a little like, well, a crazy bum as well.  So, I gave it a wide berth as I knew it could see my shadow and and I didn't want to spook it. I headed to the left.  It wandered to the left.  So, I jumped to the right and just as I got to it, BAM, both arms came straight out and one of them hit me right in the jaw.  "What the...ouch!!!"  that was the extent of my intelligent thinking so I turned around and said, "What was that?"  in my not so nice, more of a reprimand than a question voice.  And the it gave me a little evil grin, started to do a gangster strut and looked down.  "Oh my!"  I thought and as my shock turned to cautious fear, I turned around to run just a little faster...away. 

Do you know how hard it is to keep running after you have been hit in the face???  Good thing I just have a little bit of a soar jaw as I am not entirely sure how I would have processed a serious injury from a bum!"

This after I spent the morning in my first attempt at canning.  Yes, you read that right, I went canning with a new friend (the wife of M's partner).  Now I have enough supplies to get me through when 'the big one' hits us.  :)

God Bless!!
