So the other day I was plagued by Pixies.
Pixies made me forget to turn on my alarm. But my body thwarted them by waking up on time. Unfortunately it was also very, very dark & my narcissist kept trying to shush my body so my brain would go back to sleep. Lucky for ME (sarcasm) I had to pee & I’m always suspicious these days of my inner narcissist. Sure enough, I only had 10 minutes of the usual 30 I have to get out the door if I was going to stay on schedule.
Pixies also got to the clock in the shower at the gym, which is stuck at 4:50 am. But I don’t take that personally since its affecting ALL of us!
Pixies have completely invaded my sprinkler system. As for some completely unknown reason its going off twice… once at 7 am and again at the time I set it to go off at 9:15. I recently discovered its got a battery since my contractor kept turning off the electricity & I kept having to reset it. (The conversation went… ME: Are you almost done with the electrical cuz I’m sick of resetting the sprinklers. HIM: Is the battery out on the timer? ME: Battery???) Pixies obviously screwed the pooch when I reset it again this last time. When I check it, it looks set perfectly.
That same day…. Pixies hid my cell phone. I spent an hour looking for my cell phone. Turned everything upside down trying to figure out where I set it down. Not in the car, not in my purse, not on any shelf, desk, surface. I called it, but I get sucky reception and went straight to voice mail. Lucky for me (as I was walking in from checking the sprinkler timer – still no idea what the Pixies did) I heard that familiar beep that said I missed a notification from my cell. And STILL couldn’t find it, but I knew it was at least in the house! I called again and waited and waited… silent, listening for the beep. Nothing. Then upstairs about to turn my bed upside down I looked at the window sill and there it was. I set it there sometimes cuz its one of the few places I can get enough bars to get a text or two. No idea how the pixies made me forget that… lucky for me its a red cell phone.. easy to spot.
Happy to have THAT drama solved I’m getting ready to head out to Costco & now I can’t find my iPod Touch. Shopping alone is soooo much better with my music! And I had a lunch apt and the Touch has internet in case the place had free wifi….. grrrrrr… I spend 10 minutes looking for wherever the Pixies had placed it before I had to give up & leave or be late.
When I got home with the kids I offered a $1 reward for the kid who found it.
Lucky for me Pixies are no match for Evan!
Who found it camouflaged amongst the other electronics (PS3, Wii) where I must have set it down for some unknown reason.
Maybe the Pixies were just celebrating Diwali…
