Country dirt road walking........a la Jeepers Creepers

Well, yesterday's sunset was absolutely gorgeous and I just had to go take a walk and take it all in. I decided to take my usual route which brings me up Sauve Rd and walking to the end of it and back home is 5.2k. Since I'm not in top shape due to my ongoing scar tissue issue ( which is finally being addressed by my doctor this Friday woot!) I know if I walk to the apple tree it's 3 k and if I continue to the entrance for the tractor it's 4k and the sister trees a little past that it's 4.5k...I've got all worked out......the only thing that sort of freaked me out was the size of the corn stalks on either side of this narrow dirt road. I couldn't get over how big they were...how TALL they had gotten...I mean really...we're only the third week into July...usually you see this in August....so I blame it on the heat and humidity! Anyhoot...so i'm taking in the beautiful sunset and the small (very small) breeze and the birds and the crickets and all of a sudden there's a rustling in the corn.....



Now, I've been around these neck of the woods now for 19yrs and corn still freaks me out... when I first moved here it was all this Children of the Corn scenes going through my head at night...fricken scary....if I lost something in the corn it would have to wait until Fall! way too creepy to venture in there and not to mention the rats!! when I first watched the combines with awe just chewing away at the corn and then seeing a sea of corn rats running toward my garden!! SHIT! you've never seen someone run in so fast and lock the doors!!! you know these rats are known to pick locks!!



ANYWHO...back to my walk and the corn and the sunset...... well.....I was enjoying myself...daydreaming away....so when i finally come back down to earth and I'm at the sister trees I say..WOW! I'm here! and turn around and continue daydreaming...



So...back to the rusting in the corn.........



I stopped, held my breath, heard my heart beating, and waited..... nothing...just a bird....so again crunch crunch crunch of the gravel under my feet and I continue at a bit of a faster pace as I can no longer see the sunset and the corn is so high I can't even see the top of my trees! and again RUSTLE! ok...not impressed.....I stopped again, held my breath....listened...not only did I hear the rustling again...I see the Stalks moving!!!!



NOT GOOD!!! I've seen enough horror movies based in corn fields to know that I'm SCREWED!! not impressed!!!!

okay.....I'm talking to myself now...if it's Children of the Corn...you're fine....they're kids.....psycho possessed evil kids but kids none the same...I could take them! I know their weaknesses!!



BUT?!?!



What if it's JEEPERS CREEPERS?!? If it's Jeepers Creepers..IM REALLY SCREWED!!! that thing is not human and it has wings!!! totally unfair advantage!!! no soul...no heart beat (wondering if it was honing in on my heart beat or heat signature!?!?!?) and wouldn't you know it I forgot to bring the garlic, crucifix, flame thrower!! gawd!! so not prepared!!



Anyways.....so here i am trying to find something i could jab or impale into it's lifeless, collection of rotting corpse sewn together skin...(did I reallly want to get that close??? YES if it meant my survival!!)



Ya well.....being environmentally friendly granola chica I had just a couple of days prior walked with a garbage bags and picked up all the Tim Hortons cups, Macdonald bags complete with plastic utensils (which would of been so fricken handy about right now!!!) fluck... SO there was nothing...not even a sharp twig!! and if i went to snap one off a branch well DUH!! I might as well just ring bells and blow a whistle and say...murderous psycho gross-a-munga disgusting thing!! i'm over here!!!!!!



So I figured my best way to get the hell outta there was to quietly RUN FOR MY LIFE!!!!



But then again RUSTLING!!!!! peole who know me know that i have a weird/warped sense of humor...so now not only was my heart beating a million miles per hour but now i had the visual of the LMFAO Party Rock Anthem song with the Jeepers Creepers dancing to Everyday i'm Rustling!!!!



okay...so I pride myself with the fact that i'm a runner and not a staying put kind of person...So basically while Frank would be watching the Titanic sink with him on it I would of ran off that boat - knocking the band out of the way and thrown myself into a lifeboat so fast Molly Brown would of been impressed!!!



Well...here I am...frozen and can't move.....no weapons, nada and i can't move..and now those stalks are just swaying to and fro and I'm frozen on the spot!



Preparing for the worse I braced myself for a Xena type fight!! being hormonally challenged has it benefits!!



The rustling is getting louder and now i hear panting.....wait for it! wait for it!! should I scream?!



and out of the corn ambles one of the neighbors TINY dog with one of my cats in tow!!!

THANK GOD!!! no fighting for my life today! so i laughed it off.....so happy to see Tootie and Scotty and then more rustling....did i wait to see who was coming out of there now?

HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



stay tuned ...

I'm back.............

Well...............what can I say! holy crap I haven't been here in a while....
well since last May I've many ups and many downs......just a month and a half after my last post a good friend of mine that I had just reconnected with died suddenly of a massive heart attack at the tender age of 44yrs old. Just a week prior I had brought her hiking with me when she remembered that the chapel cut into the mountain was the place her grand mother used to bring her. She was so excited and couldn't wait to bring her daughter there...that would never happen....she passed away a week later.

Since then....I suffered from heart issues...incredible pain which I had checked..turns out I have a herniated atrium of the heart...nothing dangerous LOL just stay stress free...ya right..he said that with a grin...no kidding..I live with three guys... there's no such thing as stress free in a frathouse! Also I am having issues with scar tissue wrapping around my intestines. Quite painful and restrictive to say the least...my best friend has become an enema! lol never thought i'd look forward to it!! Wouldn't even consider it with boyfriends lol!!!!

One thing I haven't lost, luckily, is my sense of humor...yes granted, warped at times but hey..that's what keeps me going!

On the upside I reconnected with my cousin Brigitte at the suggestion of my mother and we've traveled twice to Cuba and are going for our third trip this February! We are both Cuba Junkies so taking it all in is easy for us...the language, the culture, the music and so on :) (this is where I should insert a wink wink! ) It's just party time all the time. I've never met such stress free, happy going, fun loving people in my life! In my next life I'm so coming back as a Cuban! :)

On the exercise front, well I had to cut it down a bit due to the scar tissue, but walking is still a must and 5 k once or twice a day is doable and feels great! I am doing some muscle building for the upper and lower arms, shoulders and neck. The torso I basically have to leave alone for now. I so miss Zumba and Yoga. I can do some yoga but no inversions - my favorite! I can do headstands for quite a long time but not now....the last time I did one it felt like a bowling ball was coming down on me and it was my intestines all balled up and falling forwards! that escapade ended with a quick trip to emergency for the longest enema I've ever had! feeling the intestines unkink like a garden hose was surreal!

July 22 is Doctor's appointment so until then I'm on down time exercising....here's to hoping that they can fix this shite and get me back on track!!! nothing beats jogging on a beach in Cuba!
