I guess anxiety has its perks.

Today I had to go out because I missed a delivery and they couldn't deliver it without seeing my ID (It was e-liquid for my e-cigarette so age restricted)... believe me I did not want to go out, not because of my anxiety but because of my lack of motivation to do anything. Depression apparently.. anyway..

I got near the road I had my crash on and I wasn't anxious but I was definitely alert. Got to a junction waiting to cross a road, its by a park where lots of dogs walkers go. All of a sudden this cream blur shots past my leg and without thinking I grabbed its collar. A dog had come loose from its lead from the park and was about to walk into a dual carriage way onto cars doing 50mph +.

I don't know, it seemed weird, I was always on edge that something was gonna happen, I didnt even want to put in my headphones just so I could stay alert to my surroundings.

Anyway just thought i'd share a weird experience I had today.

Nope... my luck being.. well my luck, it was a old man!! Ah well, it was my good deed of the day done! :P

An old man, just what is "old" to you?!

Ah, an old man picked up a magic toad and stuck it in his pocket.

The surprised toad asked "Aren't you going to kiss me and turn me into a princess???

Old man replied, "Hummm, no, at my age I'd rather have a talking toad." Duh....

Haha, that something i'd say... Like I say, everyone says I am old man in a young mans body!

Errr i'd say the geezer was over 80 definitely.

in reply toTheInjuredBiker

No, it's "an old soul in a young body", and it's a compliment.

Even if the old soul was dumb enough to call an older man a "geezer". (The proper term is "old far+"....have some in the family and neighborhood.)
