Up early here

I woke up about 4:15 this morning and stayed that way long enough to convince me I might as well get up and have a drink and a look at the news. When I went to get some ice, I found that the ice maker was out of sync and the separators were out of the water when it froze. So later today I’m going to have to climb up on a foot stool with a hair dryer and free the mechanism.

At first I thought not too much of it – just another chore. But after having a diet cola, reading the headlines, finding out it’s actually supposed to be sunny this afternoon and, in a video on the weather site, learning that a guy in Australia died after being bitten by a Western Brown snake, I think I’ll just lie back down.

What is it with the weather website? Exactly what does a person mistaking a Western Brown for a python and carrying it off a field have to do with weather? But, then again, this is the site that flashed in my face about the world ending when I wanted to see how cold it was going to be in LaGrange County.

Now I’m thinking ice maker chore and snakes. Lying back down might be dangerous – perchance what dreams may come? Ice snakes in the freezer?

UPDATE one minute later: As I pushed publish, the email chimed. The Amazon Deal of the Day is “Desperate Housewives” – this day is starting out shaky.

One thought on “Up early here”

  1. I just read a page in my book that was talking about a rattle snake found in the privy and getting bit on the butt…. then I read about the brown snake here. I’m thinking I had better watch where I step today. And sit.
