24. Halloween Night I Went To The Other Side Of Town

Tue Nov 12, 2013, 03:17 AM

Nov 2013

I got lost and finally around nine I knocked on the door of an elderly lady and explained my situation. I got to call my dad(who was getting ready for bed--not happy AT ALL) meanwhile I had to sit in her "parlor" watching her cat(one of those siamese cats that was beautiful but totally humorless to strangers and eyed me with those staring eyes thinking "who are you?" It reminded me of a parents stare when it was lecture time and I got a lecture and a rerun of that lecture for many days.
On vacation I also climbed up to the roof of part of a house. It wasn't very high but I am phobic about heights and like the typical animal would not come down and again it was late at night and stirred up several neighbors trying to coax me down. I still cannot remember how I finally did crawl down. The ladder terrified me as much as height did.
