Laundry Room Encounters

I went to do some laundry and as I get to the laundry room, guess who I see there? Louise! You don't remember Louise? Read here.

Her surgery went well but she hates the recovery. She's hasn't felt any better. I quickly found out that the surgery was to take care of an aneurysm she had. I must say, she was looking pretty ragged, the recovery must be a bitch.

She reiterated several unrelated facts in quick succession:

• She was born in Nova Scotia
• She walked to The Crab House to have clam chowder
• She loves clam chowder
• She made a point to tell me my name without my prompting her (why? Because she said her dad taught her never to forget a man's name)
• She never takes the stairs
• She walked to the grocery to buy food
• She was stuck for 3 days in her apartment without power due to Hurricane Katrina
• She breathes shallowly
• She hangs clothes to dry in the bathroom

As you can tell, this was a one way conversation and very disjointed.
