tea cookie for breakfast, sport?
when i was younger, i would hideout underneath unworn sunday dresses with ridiculous flower patterns and frilly collars my mother picked out so i could receive an A in church on sundays. i would scrunch down on a toppled over laundry basket which made for a decent reading table when i brought my flash light. the light bulb had been removed so as not to create shadows while i was sleeping. a nightly rearranging of furniture while all the animals argued over who got to sleep with me aslo helped in this measure. everyone knew i hid there but no one ever came to find me; it felt safe.
you don't want to be found, but you hope to be looked for.
now a days, i am not too sure hiding in similar places would be well justified. "falling asleep" is my hideout of choice, not because it is preferred but because it is a lot easier to make acceptable excuses when you're under sheets and covers than when you're walking out of a closet. it sometimes fails me though. between screams next door and rocks beating on my balcony, i had to hang up the phone with a comforting voice to keep from feeling completely insane.
i wake up with a much welcomed breeze and squirrels peeking down overhead. i slam down a few pots of coffee to add a few more smiles and a little more talk to my repertoire. i need to be prepared for this. although i'm a bit shy and anxious in these situations, this time this is more of a worry because it will hopefully be what saves me. it usually is.
