On A Strange Note

The weather here has been blustery and rainy. Today we've had sun and clouds and some breezes. Yesterday's rain froze in places so this morning, with temperatures above freezing there was the dreaded thin layer of black ice under melted ice. When going to get into my car this morning to go to breakfast with Kelly, the new plastic -like Nike soles of my sneakers hit black ice and down I went, cracking the protective cover over my new phone and soaking my jeans. Lovely.

Changed, went to breakfast, then hit WalMart where they had two (yes, that is correct, 2, T-W-O) registers open plus the self-checkout, but we had a lot of big items so had to stand in line and wait and wait. Overheard a cashier who opened a third register tell customers they could only accept credit and checks because the store had no cash, their armored truck was going to be late delivering money to the store. I was able to pay in cash without a problem. Glad to get out of that madhouse.

Jon's been stressed at work and hasn't been in a god mood, so I was reluctant to tell him my phone was screwed up and possibly broken due to the fall this morning. Didn't want to spread that sticky icing on the crapcake of his life at the moment, but finally told him at lunch. It's just the screen protector not the face of the phone that's cracked. Yeah. He was able to remove the battery and reinsert it which restarted the phone which resolved the unlocking it and it going to a black screen, and being unable to shut down the phone. That was a relief since the phone is only about two months old.

I am at home resting a sore knee, a sore hip, pulled muscles in my lower back, a sore elbow, and a sore hand (all on the sinister side-left side)...all due to the fall this morning. Kelly and John went to her house to bring move things over and do some more work. She sent me a photo of an odd note she found on her front lawn on lined notebook paper in small, open, legible, cursive writing. It looks like the outline of a short story...and reads exactly like this:

Elwood & Mayben
Outline
1. Elwood AA sees Mayben on street and falls in love
2.Elwood in interview, but mind is on girl.
          -Nails interview
          -Celeb

It's just strange how an author goes to her house and finds someone else's outline note on her front lawn.

It leaves me wondering- does Elwood win the girl or is she just a plot ploy that inspires him during his interview allowing him to ace it? What sort of an interview is it? What kind of a celeb does he become?

Just wondering.
