I slept in because it was my day off. Sometimes, I wake up with scratches on my body and I don't remember how they got there. Today, there was a scratch above my right eye. It wasn't a particularly big scratch, but it was bright red, and when I looked at myself in the mirror, it startled me. It burned when I ran my fingers over it, and when Warden licked my face later in the day, it kind of hurt.
Sometimes, I forget about these scratches, but this one was on my face, and when I went to the store to buy supplies for butter, I was certain that everyone was looking at the scratch. The woman working at the register said, "Long night?"
"Excuse me?" I said.
"You look beat up," she said.
"Oh, that, I...fell down the steps," I said.
She raised her eyebrows, "Never heard that one before."
"One only has to climb up so many steps in order to fall," I said.
"Yeaaaaah," she said. She quickly bagged my groceries and put the receipt in a bag.
She was strange!
Anyways, made some green onion (because I couldn't find any chives!) butter dip for an Olympic gathering I'm having tonight. So far, I've invited Bailey and Guy. I called Helen and left a message.
And Warden will be there of course!
