Freaking Out 8/15/2006 2:52:24 AM
Okay, I'm afraid of heights. Lets get that out of the way immediatley.
I'm on my wya to my first day of jury duty.Reemmber Bill is having ot drive me there his punishment only he doesn't know that's the reason. YOu're the only ones I've shared that info with.
So, after amking a wrong turn and finally finding teh parking lot for the courthouse we proceed. Tehre's a sign that reads "JURY PARKING" 6th floor. I tell bill my hero a dozen times, "Do not taek me to the 6th floor. I'm not going to go there when I come back tomorrow. (He's cheaper than I am and at the moment he's not listening nor is he behaving much like a hero. He's driving straight ahead as if I hadn't spoken. the nerve!!! Can you believe it?
We get to the 5th floor, nothing but open space. I close my eyes and then place my hand over them. A bit dramatic but I needed to make a point. I can't even begin to guess where level 6 is. There is nothing there.
Apparently Bill looks at me because finally it appears he's heard me and sicne I'm no longer talking I assume he's looking at me with my hand over my eyes. So he says to me, "You're not going to park up here?" (Okay, had I not said this a thousand times?) But instead of that snide comment i simply answered, "No, I'm not. Parking garages uppper levels freak me out." He sighs several times and says, "Okay, we'll go back down." When we're on three I tell him I can handle that. WE park and try to find an elevator. None. WE walk down three flights of staris and when we're outside Bill looks at me and say, "Okay, I think you should park near the bottom." "Why?" I ask. "Because I don't think there are any elevators and there's too many stairs.
I think I left out that this was to save the $2.00 per day I would have to pay to park versus the free over the edge fo the roof parking. Thanks but no thanks. I know when to be cheap and when not to. And I forgot to tell you that I told the man I would pay the darn two dollars.
When he picked me up can you beleive he had the nerve to tell me that he'd told Billy that I'd freaked out on him. He claims not to know that I'm afraid of heights. Almost forty years together and you don't know that. I don't ride roller coasaters because...Yeah right.
You know what I'm thinking don't you? Since I ws making him take me for punishment I have a feeling he was scarign the living ---- out of me on purpose. And do you want to know what else he said. I'll take you back tomorrow. No way buster. I hate driving but I'll take myself thank you very much.
I'll tell you about court later I have to go make coffee and get ready. I sat all day and have to go back again today. Enjoy your day.
