You want me to walk you through a day in my life? My life? There must not be any rose gardens in your town because that’s where I’d much rather take a walk myself. I’ll just let you know upfront that a day with me is definitely not a walk in the park! It’s more of a racing, death defying, hiding, spying occasion. It may not smell as pretty but we’ll definitely end up having an experience!
My morning starts off bright and early because I love waking up and drinking a pot of hot tea while I watch the sunrise. However, it doesn’t always go as planned!
You don’t know me very well right now but I have a lot of interferences in my day. Things out of my control and things I surely wish I didn’t have to deal with. One of those things is my nosy, big-mouthed, power hungry Aunt Gertie. In my brain I call her The General. She’s as huge and solid as a tank and always rumbling and roaring about something. Usually that something is me!
If she would just mind her own stinking business and leave me alone then my life would be a lot more peaceful. I thought generals liked to end wars? She always wants to start them. Just thinking about her is giving me a headache. It’s gotten me off track anyway; she will affect you that way. The point is, sometimes I don’t get my tea and sunrise morning because Gertie will be banging on my front door before dawn bellowing about who-knows-what. Other times she’ll stealthily tape want-ads to my door having pre-circled the jobs she wants me to check out. Sometimes scarier things are taped on my front door!
Once I make it past the front door then my day normally starts with the dreaded job hunt. Spell that: j.o.b. The letters are just an acronym that perfectly defines the word. I’ll have to let you figure it out on your own because I don’t think I can say it here.
I guess I’m what they call a transient worker or a job-hopper. Yes, my resume looks like a kangaroo hop in the Outback. It’s not pretty but I’m still alive!
Occasionally I get mixed up in some crazy situations. It’s starting to be the normal routine instead of the exception and I don’t like it. I’m in survival mode at the moment but I have dreams.
I plan to have a successful writing career and I’m working on my first book! I’m on page 1, line 1, and word 1 right now. Well, since I’m hoping we’ll be lifelong friends then I might as well tell you the truth, I’ve been stuck on 1,1,1 for quite some time. The good news is, things are bound to move forward sooner or later! Hopefully sooner, rather than later.
I also spend some of my time talking to this sexy, awesome man I recently met. Unfortunately, most of the times when I’m talking to him it’s because I’m involved in an incident and he has been dispatched there to investigate. In my opinion things always get better anytime a sexy guy shows up and at least the incident is an icebreaker and gets the conversation started. When I’m not talking to him then I talk to Victor. Victor definitely keeps me on my toes. Well, fingers to be more precise but I’ll tell you about that later.
Wow, just telling you about a typical day in my life has totally transformed my brain. I started out thinking nobody wanted to hear about my crazy life. Now I’m realizing I’m extremely blessed because my life is such an awesome adventure! I have an incredibly, unique life and I want to share it with you! I might be a Jane of all trades but I’m definitely not an ordinary Jane!
Now I’m pumped up and excited to tell you more. In fact, go grab a tea and I’ll tell you all about my j.o.b. from hell. See you in Drip Died Clean.
