What a Difference A Day Made......


Some may consider me an "old soul" because I like singers like Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn and Billie Holiday...I just think I like GOOD music...I was exposed to these singers as a child probably because my Father was an "old soul" who loved music. He was 39 when I was born so I think this was the music of his era and that's why he loved it so much among other kinds of music. He was just like me (or I like him) he would listen to ANYTHING, any type of music EXCEPT...Country & the Blues (which I just think is Black Country music)...He also had me listen to Classical music to gain an appreciation of instruments...and to this day I really LOVE the sound of the violin (especially when I hear it on a WuTang song, lol).
This is my favorite Dinah Washington song and today it is SO appropriate....Yesterday ended up so badly for me. I was so upset/sad/irritable and I had no idea why (check yesterday's post)...Today, started alright, nothing special or extraordinary until I had what I think is one of the BIGGEST LAUGHS I've had in YEARS....
Before I start, you over-sensitive folk who may want to over think this situation can stop reading here........
I was running errands early this morning and decided to stop at the DMV to finally put the correct address on my license....It was kind of crowded, not really that crowded but as I was sitting waiting my turn I noticed two women sitting not to far from me. I noticed them because the older of the two ladies was wearing some type of blue satin pajama pants and had not combed her hair this morning. Well, if she did she just combed it straight to the back and she looked a HOT MESS.
Now, this is where the story gets good. As they sat there talking loud, swearing and complaining about the wait. The older woman looked out the window and said, "Those kids betta quit playing in that car before dey spill my drank!" I kept looking down at my phone while chuckling a little...Then not to long after that, the same woman told another woman who came in who may have been a friend or relative, "I came by yo house to tell yo monkey ass Happy Holidays. It was all dark. Y'all NIPSCO off?!?!" (for those who don't know "NIPSCO" is the local utility company)....I really can't remember what the lady's response was because at this point I had closed my eyes and held my breath to keep from laughing...and then for this inebriated woman's show stopping finale, she left the room with, "You MF's have a blessed day!"....I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PASS OUT!!! That was SO freaking funny to me!!!
Yea, yea I know she was at the DMV in public, drunk...but security had that part under control as far as I could see. She was the passenger and didn't seem to be really a threat to anyone, even herself. It was simply hilarious to me that #1 she was that drunk
at 8:30 in the morning and #2 she said some funny stuff!!!!
Whoever, that woman is I take my hat off to her and thank her for giving my mood a 180....I was SO down yesterday and today I can't think about those events with out being REALLY TICKLED.
I thank and appreciate all who will read. Peace
