ok second day of INSANTIY... and i tend to wonder if im insane to continue... i am so sore, when i walk its like im walking on lava...ouch ouch ouch! Of course adding to mix i went to see my 91 year old grandma today. To say she is a little protective of her stuff in an understatement .... she pad locks EVERYTHING. Including but not limited to the entry of her yard. Of course my grandma being overprotective and 91 years old... she also forgets where she puts stuff...including her keys.... So my visit with her today, includes the honor of jumping over the fence to have dinner with her. Of course this is not an easy task... I think i failed to mention initially that i have a fountain drink in one hand and her dinner in the other. After waiting 30 minutes for her to find her keys, i make the call to jump over... First step... squeezing the fountain drink through a narrow fence as i will need both hands to accomplish getting my ass on a chain link fence.... You would think squeezing this was fairly simple... but nothing is ever simple with my grandma. I pull at the fence which is held with a chain and padlock...slowly start to push it through... of course the opening is a fraction of a inch to small and although the drink made it through with minimal spillage...the lid was not so lucky. The food was a bit of an easier task to get across with only needing to reach over the fence as far as i could to give it a soft landing...their was minimal damage. So now comes the hard part... i put my foot on the fence, and swing the opposite leg (which now feels like it weighs a ton and is extremely sore) with enough momentum to make it over.... then the dreaded jump to complete this death defying act of clumsiness on my part and to finish what i set out to do. I would have been pretty impressed with my accomplishment, except for the comical way i landed with a 360 degree spin to stop my fall... the combination of crying and laughing burst out of me.... until i realized i had to do the same thing all over again to get out of the yard...
