Wait

I was in Walmart this morning. Taking my time, breathing in and out all by myself and not in any big hurry. It felt really nice. I walked the aisles and made a phone call. I went to check out and picked the longest line to stand in. I don't mind the wait, I don't mind standing there. The manager came over and directed me to a shorter line. There was urgency in her voice. I declined and said, "If you don't mind I really would just like to stand here." Be still, Carla.

What, are you normally on a ventilator?

Carla said...

I don't breathe when I am with my family.
Hard to explain.

I'd like you to explain, but I won't hold my breath.

This made me laugh! If I can help you with a dinner get-away, just let me know. Would love to do it!

Hi Lisa,
I know at least 4 Lisas.

Can you narrow it down a bit? :)

NO! Take the dinner invitation from all of them!
Keep breathing my friend.

Carla said...

Stop yelling. Breathe.

Sorry Carla. Should have thought of that. It's Lisa McBrian.
