Okay, is it just me or what? There have been many times in my life that I've felt like I must be invisible...
.
When I'm sitting at church all by myself and people come in and sit by other people all around me and leave the chairs next to me empty. I must stink or be invisible, I'm not sure which... Nope, I know I took a bath and used deodorant, so I don't stink!
.
Then there have been times when I'm sitting at church and everyone around me are welcomed, EXCEPT ME... what am I invisible?
.
When I've written and made a comment to a group of people, and don't get a response... am I invisible?
.
When I've been talking to family members and no one hears me... now I'm really starting to feel invisible. I pinch myself to see if I am there, all I get is a bruise. So, I go to the mirror and look in to see if I can see myself... yes I can see a reflection... humm? I wonder, can invisible people see themselves in a mirror?
.
Well this week it has been confirmed - I AM INVISIBLE! Not invincible, but surely invisible. This is what happened...
.
Remember I live about eight miles west of town out in the country. I take my dogs out and put them in their penned dog house each night so they won't run the neighborhood and cause trouble. The dogs pen is around the corner and behind the barn, so it gets very pitch black out there. I told my husband that I would like a motion light out there so I can see where I'm going. He complied and put a motion light on the front porch, he put a motion light on the back porch, he put a motion light above the shop on the front of the barn, he put a motion light at the end on the back of the barn.
.
So with all those lights I've been able to go out there and have lights going on every step of the way keeping me from stumbling on a pebble or ant hole and falling or breaking my leg on a tumbleweed, you know I'm accident prone in the funniest ways... anyway that's another story...
.
Well, when I got home from my camping trip and went out there to put the dogs up and NONE of the lights came on I thought my hubby had turned them off while I was gone and hadn't turned them back on. Three nights in a row I had no lights coming on. I finally remembered to mention this to said hubby. He said they worked for him. I said they don't come on even when I walk around in circles trying to trip them.
.
So the other night when we came home from swimming at our daughter's house, he drove the car all around out there and every light came on. See they work. I said thank you for fixing them, he said he didn't do anything. I said yeah right. Later when I went to put the dogs up not one light came on. I went in and told him. He shook his head. Okay see, now its official - I AM INVISIBLE even my motion lights can't detect me!
.
Last night... still not a light came on for me even when I walked around trying to get it to trip... yup I'M INVISIBLE.... Grrrr - this explains a lot - here I thought it was because I'm shy, nope its cause NO ONE SEES ME!!! I'm INVISIBLE... hey maybe I could use this to my advantage...
.
Cute post. Have you figured it out yet? Oh, yeah, you're invisible.
ReplyDeleteThat is really, really odd! I've never heard the like. I guess you must be invisible after all. However, I SAW YOU at the Retreat. What's up with that?
ReplyDeleteIt was good to SEE YOU at the retreat!
ReplyDeleteLiz, Marsha and valerie... yup pretty strange huh. Can't wait to see if it happens again tonight! I'm sure glad that you saw me at the retreat or I would really be scratching my head. LOL
ReplyDeleteLoved it Joyce. I think we all feel that we at times, but your blog was really fun. Oh, by the way, I just created my blog, actually TWO blogs. I would love you to join and to add a link for my blogs on yours. I will do the same for you.
ReplyDeleteOh, I guess I best tell you what my blogs are.
ReplyDeletewww.cindydragondreamer.blogspot.com is all about dragons.
www.blogsandblurbs.blogspot.com is about life, love, families, marriage, enchantments, fairies and dragons and dreams.
I started to write a novel about an invisible girl once, but got sidetracked. Perhaps when I get around to writing it, you'll give me an interview--oh, that's right, I don't need to because we're sisters! Maybe I should write one about invisible sisters having invisible adventures. haha

Funny, Joyce! Not the part about being invisible at Church. Been there, done that myself. (In case you wonder why I bend over backwards to avoid Church socials...) But that is so weird and ironic about the lights not coming on for you, when they come on for your husband. But as you say, worked properly, invisibility might have its advantages. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI loved your blog. Very funny. I have also been invisible to people and at times to the two motion sensor lights in my back yard. I had been blaming the lights but now I see that it is me. I like the idea that we can use this invisibility to our advantage somehow. Thanks for making me smile.
