odd things...

This will be an odd post. But just got out of the shower and was thinking about all the odd things that happen occasionally.

Our shower head in the master bath is old... but still works fine delivering a satisfactory shoot of water that is neither too hard or too soft.  But... it has this one malfuction: It occasionally (and not consistantly) shoots off this one spray of water out of a different place that hits me right in the eye! 

It worried me when my left eye was post surgical, but now it just makes me laugh. As a crazy person that talks to inanimate objects, I usually say, "Hey! stop that!" 

I asked DH today if it gets him too...or it just after me (he is 6 ft and perhaps it wouldn't hit him in the eye). But he said yes, it gets him too. Makes me wonder if AI is already playing with us - certainly not going to give it control over my house! - unless it has already taken control without my permission - (kidding - I hope?).

But other odd things happen on occasion that make you wonder. Things disappear for a while... and then turn up (and not in odd places but where they were supposed to be, but weren't when we needed them). Songs or tunes from years ago start playing over and over again in my head for no apparent reason (that I know of).

I know that maybe this is all an age-related thing... or at least many would say it was, but in some ways, it's quite entertaining (sometimes frustrating).   

My mom lived with us when she was in her 80's and 90's and she blamed our cat for taking her stuff. We never believed it, but hey, odd things happen.

And there was the time not too long ago when our car (it's a Lincoln MKC - we call Mikey) tried to kill us. We think he (Mikey) was upset because lately we'd been using the truck to go places because there was something that was fixed on the truck and needed us to drive 100 miles before they could do the inspection. 

Anyway, one day this summer we had just left the house in Mikey and were halfway to the Senior Center in triple digit heat when all of a sudden the heater started blasting us! It got very hot very fast... and it wouldn't turn off! We opened the windows and turned around heading to Firestone as quick as we could to have it checked out. But before we got there, it stopped... and the AC came back on. It was scary as it was really hot in the car... as well as outside... (I was ready to jump out of the car). Now... does AI have car control or was it just a simple explanation that a sensor went bad (and then corrected itself?)

There are other things that have happened, but I can't think of them at the moment. Is this old age, AI, or just life...?? 

Hope you had a good weekend!

Hugs (virtually),
