So, writing at before 0600 on Sunday morning. Why? Because I had a dream that somebody was coming with a delivery, and I needed to sign.<\/p>\n
On early Sunday morning. Yeah, I’ve got some mental issues, maybe. Still better than the weirdness that woke me up yesterday, which involved Gangnam Style<\/i>. Issues.<\/p>\n
So, on to the prompts before I fall back asleep, because, uh…there’s no delivery coming.<\/p>\n
1. Are you a risk-taker?Do you weigh the pros and cons or jump right in?<\/b>
\nShort answers: “No. Depends.” Longer answers: “I’m actually pretty risk-averse when you get right down to it. Living with my physical limitations kind of demands that. Have I done things that might get me hurt, fired, arrested? Sure. Are there a lot that come immediately to mind? No.”
\nThose said, considering what you see on TV this time of year, the Internets all year long, etc., I marvel at the paranoia I see. People don’t understand probabilities at all, jump to conclusions. With medical issues, it gets worse. Next on The Doctors<\/i>, “Is my hangnail due to the chicken I ate in 1987?” <\/p>\n
2. “The most terrifying moment of my life was…”<\/b>
\nYou know, I’m really having trouble with this one. Why? Because the things that are coming to mind weren’t actually terrifying until I thought about it after I was away, safe. Some of those where you say, “wow, that could have ended really badly.” Maybe I’ve been lucky. Who knows? But I do know that because I’m acutely aware of my limitations now, I’m more cautious; it’s been a long time since I’ve had one of those moments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
