Is Mercury in retrograde? Is there a full moon? Is there some other explanation for the strange week I’ve had?
The week started with a ghost from the past trying to spook me and ended with an alien spaceship tearing across the eastern sky. Okay, so the ghost from the past is just a bad memory and the alien spaceship was most likely a meteorite, but still. Strange week. Some good stuff in there, too. But even the good stuff has had a kind of a surreal feel to it.
For the record, I thought the “meteorite,” or whatever the hell it was, was a tree branch falling on the roof. I wasn’t particularly startled because I was engrossed in returning student essays and watching The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. Oh well. If it really was aliens, they’re going to have to do a little more to get my attention.
I’m not the only one who said they had a bizarre week. Must be something in the water, hmm?

Here’s to Monday… and a less strange week. (But I’ll happily take the good stuff, surreal or not, thank you very much.)
