Monday
I remember as a kid how much fun April Fool's Day jokes were. I spent at least the day before planning on whom a joke would be played and what the joke would be. When they played out the way I wanted them too, what fun it was. It was fun even with the jokes played on me.
Now, I cannot remember the last time I played a joke on anyone. Maybe Michael and telling him we were expecting. Oh, the look on his face was priceless. However it seems the older I get, the less I care about playing pranks on Michael or my friends. The best I feel is to call everyone and wish them a happy first.
Our joke on us today was to be awakened by what sounded like a weed eater. Nope. It was a chain saw trimming trees.
The joke was looking out on our back patio and finding a huge cedar tree branch covering the back left corner. The birdbath is knocked over, the top of the most decorative plank of the fence is torn off, the branch was bending over branches of my bamboo tree, and the potted plants in that corner were knocked over. Hmmm. Shall I take this in stride or become really angry? Considering the mess and the damage, I want to be angry but I feel I can get more done if I stay cool and collected.
We took photos of the carnage and because I was the calmer of the two, I went to find the maintenance guys and told them of their dilemma. Within a few minutes one of them came to the apartment and was quite surprised about the branch. With the aid of his buddy on the other side of the fence, they moved the branch out of our patio without any more damage. Of course, they left the clean up to us but that is a small price to pay for what the branch did.
This is all the excitement I want for one day.
