Typical Atypical Day
Have you ever had one of those days where everything that happened seemed relatively normal but not so normal at the same time? I'm not on drugs. I promise! I haven't even taken any codeine!
First thing this morning we had a visitor, Andrew. That was normal. He's a lovely guy who drops by out of the blue whenever he's in the area, and I always enjoy his visits. Why is it not so normal? He's Simon's ex-wife's cousin.
Jack has brought a friend home from school today. That's normal. The boys have friends call for them frequently, especially during the summer months. Why is it not so normal? The boys are being so well-behaved I hardly know they're upstairs.
Simon has spent most of the day on his computer. That's definitely normal. He's practically glued to that chair. Why is it not so normal? He's only spent part of the day on the computer. He went outside, in the cold, and washed his Jeep today.
On their own, unremarkable. Together they have given today a strange feeling. Not an unpleasant one, just a weird one.

Is that the twilight zone theme song I here there in the background?? ;-)
I would say yes, but as soon as Ricky came home and Dom's mum came to pick him up, the bubble burst and normality came pouring down again! The house was back to chaos, which is how I'm used to it! ;-)

No, but he's been complaining of how bad his back hurts today! ;-)
