Small Children Fear Me


I really didn't mean to, but I think I scared a little girl in the grocery store last night. She looked at my head, reached for her mother and said, "Mommy?" in that little voice kids use when they aren't so sure about something. It was so sad, children normally just naturally gravitate toward me, even strangers in grocery stores. I felt bad...for her and for me. Just another reminder of what I have lost. I hope I didn't scar the poor child for life.

Maybe it was because I was wearing a red bandana on my head and that made her think of blood? I don't know. I put the red one on yesterday because at work we wore red for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Day. I don't own any red clothes because it's not my color, so the bandana was the only red thing I could find to wear to support this worthwhile cause.



Maybe it wasn't me at all, maybe it was the roasted chickens we were near that scared her? They do look kinda scary.


MRI is today. I won't get these results until this coming week. Other than that I plan on running some errands today. My computer weather icon says it's 7 degrees. Being stuck in a tube for an hour isn't sounding so bad, at least it's warm(er) in there.
