 Posted: 02/10/06 - 15:38 Post subject: Speaking of injuries
I had a really freaky thing happen to me today that could have seriously injured me. The people I clean for on Fridays who live waaaaay out in the boondocks left for Japan yesterday. When I got there today they had left a note asking me to clean all the ceiling fans n light fixtures this week and then clean the house next week right before they get back. Sure, no problem. So I'm on the ladder in the living room with a rag wiping the fan that's thankfully attached to a big strappin' cedar beam. All the sudden someone is POUNDING on the door that comes into the house from the garage then flings the door open whacking the wall and causing me to jump about 2 feet straight up in the air! This guy is standing there saying "who are you, who are you!!?? The ladder starts to wobble/sway as I'm trying to steady myself as I'm practically hanging from the effing fan at this point before regaining my balance/composure then dismounting the ladder from about the 3rd step up.  I'm like "I'm the cleaning lady what do you think!!" He was the neighbor from the farm up the road. They asked him to come every morning and let Gracie the dog out in her kennel then come back in the evening n feed her n put her in the shed for the night. Unfortunately they failed to tell us about each other. 
Funny now, but I was freaking at the moment.   We laughed about it when it was over but he said I was really lucky that fan supported my weight for a brief momnent. Oh, but the really funny part was I was topless! Well not really but when I got there it was cold cuz they had the heat down to 60 so I turned on the gas fireplace and the furnace. Before long it was really warm so I took my sweatshirt off and just had on my sport bra.

I might have had an accident of another kind if caught off guard like that.
and... My thermostat is set at 59F during the day when kids are at school and after 10 p.m. If I were going to Japan it would be set much lower. Oh, I forgot they had a dog.. .hmm, what's that fur for anyway?
