Enough already
July 24th, 2008 06:14 amOK, look universe ... I am getting older, yanno. So take it easy on me.
Last night when I took Tucker out because he did a ninja-piss* at my chair, it was raining pretty hard so I figured we would just have a quickie 'walk' out the garage door. Of course, with some pee already on my floor, he does not have the same urgency he might have had earlier. In paying attention to the dog, I was not paying much attention to where I walking (in the garage) when all of a sudden I felt something squirming under my foot. My foot, that thankfully, had not gone all the way down with my weight on it.
I had stepped a freaking toad! In the TMI category, I screamed so loud & hard & was so bloody terrified, that I pretty much pissed my pants. Of course, my scream got Tucker's attention so any hope that HE pees is now out the window.
After 30 minutes, I am still not calmed down all the way. A friend mentions that he is getting hail in Philly so now I am worried about the storm. We've been getting rumbling thunder all night with hard rain. After a fashion, the storm quiets down & I forget about it (unfortunately, I can't seem to forget about the toad thing) when out of nowhere comes a line of rolling thunder that sounded like an explosion. The house rocked & I probably came 4 inches out of my chair. This, by the way, also got Tucker's attention.
I finally try to go to bed with the jitters from all this. I wake up feeling OK, although thinking about the toad under my shoe still gives me the willies. As I am walking Tucker, a big wet leaf falls on my nose, scaring the heck out of me & making me scream again through a throat that is still sore from last night.
Enough already!
PS: For those who care, I think the toad made it through OK.
*Ninja-piss = A no-warning-whatsoever squirt of pee close to me to let me know that he has to pee.
