Not a bad day

[sun_set_bravely]

By 7:18 this morning, I knew that I would have a good day, no matter what happened subsequent to that minute in time.

I woke up and went to the bathroom without putting on my glasses, then I came back into the living room, put on my glasses, and took the bird's water dishes to wash in the sink. When I walked back to the bathroom doorway, I saw a large cockroach, belly up, on the threshold.

Somehow, even without glasses, even without knowing it was there, I did not step on a dying cockroach, first thing in the morning.

This, my friends, is a good day. Regardless of what happened at any other time in the day.

Good night to you all.

I don't know sister! There is nothing like the crunch of a cockroach in between your toes that makes my day start off great!!! This reminds me of stepping on slugs. For some odd reason I have mulltiple memories of us doing that. Do you?

No way! I don't remember doing that at all. Oh, wait, you're talking about accidentally. I thought you remembered us going out on slug-icidal rampages, and I definitely don't remember that. :)
