I was setting at the computer today and I felt something brush my hair. Now since I live alone here with a cat and a dog, something brushing past my head is cause to make me become alert. Sure enough, a little Sparrow landed on the shadowbox on the wall by my desk. I opened the front door and tried to shoo him that way, but he did not understand. Of course Icarus was helping me since she had brought him in with hopes of him being supper for her. I finally got him herded into a place where I could drop a dish towel over him and carry him outside. I found him a nice place inside an evergreen where he could safely get his bearings before flying back to his family.
I do not know why that silly cat becomes a hunter in the Spring of the year or maybe it is the birds are young and not wise to the ways of cats and are more easily caught. Now the wind is whistling through a window that is not quite shut and scaring me. I guess maybe I am a little paranoid because I went out to Los Pobres for lunch with my friends out there and on the way home I got to thinking about that little white line in the middle of the road. Life is sort of like that line. As long as I stay on my side and the car coming towards me stays on the other side, we are both good to go and will pass by never really seeing each other at all. But if one of us were to cross that line we would both suffer. Life is like that. As long as I do the things expected of me and you do the things expected of you, we will never have a problem. We drift through life never really knowing the people we see on a daily basis and then one day, we are gone.
Some times I think maybe I am lonely, but I do not want to change my life to incorporate another human into it. I go to bed when I am tired and get up when I am through sleeping. If there were another person here, I would need to take their needs into consideration. I eat what I want, when I want and rarely close the door when I shower. I may get up at 3:30 AM or sleep till 6:00. I have been known to eat lunch in my pajamas's and sometimes the sink is full of dirty dishes and the laundry covers the floor in the bathroom. I do not always answer the phone just because it rings.
So, this is my mood tonight. Needless to say, I do not like the wind. I have never really seen a use for it, but then nobody really asked me, did they?
