Wonder the dog has been with us for over two and a half years now, and most definitely thinks I’m God. She can beat me in hide and seek, but when it comes to important stuff like food and finding new ways and places to play, I’m all that and more.
Lucy, senile and feeble though she is, still knows she’s God. Complains to her subjects except when they’re fawning over her.
Seven the horse is the only sane member of the family. He knows I’m God, and considers himself on the same level with everyone else, four legged or two. He always has the right answer to questions that start with “what’s the best way to get to ,,,”
Mrs Elixir thinks I’m the devil and I kind of agree. I’m better than some but not near good as she.
The difference it makes might be hard to see,
Anyhow I pray to the gods I believe in and the ones I do not (which takes much longer)
I pray that I won’t let them all down as a god, or as a subject in Lucy’s case. And thanks for the food.
Xmas Eve I made a beautiful salad and cooked snow crab clusters , then tonight simple elegant filet mignon, baked potato and Green beans.
My advice if you’re gonna be a god (I’m not god material myself, but I’ve seen gods made) is keep your mouth shut until you find somebody’s keys they dropped, and you can catch up them to tell them you found their keys. Or something like that. An opportunity to lend surprise help.
Oh -gotta brag on being god again. Yesterday at Safeway carrying on
at the checkout when a couple got in line behind me waving a card to which two sets of plastic measuring spoons were attached. “Excuse me, we really need these-can we put them on your discount card and we’ll pay for it?” They seemed frantic like a critical baking emergency was in progress, so I leaned over, grabbed the spoons and handed them to the checker to scan them. I handed them back to the panicked baker couple and she was all no no no trying to give me money and I just asked don’t you have to be baking something somewhere? And they got all happy and grateful. I said merry Christmas, my friend the checker lady said “that was really nice!”. I felt like god.
