MUST/MUST NOT list

"Don't worry....we talked.  We have it all taken care of."

Now--most folks would find that comforting when they hear that from someone.  Notsomuch me!  I wonder what in the world WE talked about.  And what is it WE have covered......
Oh, but I have my marching orders.

MUST have the cellphone on me at all times.
MUST ring someone so they can come to the house ( for even five minutes ) when I do something for the first time....JUST so they know I know I'm safe in the doing.
MUST ring to ask for what I might need.
MUST check in daily with the sister.
MUST check in daily with the girl.
MUST email he-who'll-be-over-there--daily.  (I'll have time for anything else besides checking in?!)
MUST ring the bed and breakfast if something arises that 'he-who-needs-to-know' oughta know.
MUST NOT try to do dangerous things--like tote bags of dirt (I have a lawn buddy!..geeze....) or climb ladders.  LOL  (there goes the painting the kitchen idea!)
MUST take walks like a duckie in the shooting gallery--back and forth, back and forth.....where folks who know me will be handy just-in-case.
MUST let someone know if I go on an adventure.  (So they know where to look for the body, maybe?)
*laughing*
The list goes on and on and on.
I have electronic lists....and instructions for the television/DVD/CD player.  (Like I bothered to learn how to run the darn thing?)
The 'torches' are strategically placed, the weather radio moved for easy access (so I can reach it to toss it out the window maybe?)  The car AND the Jeep have been filled up with gas.  (gimme a break--we filled the car 6 weeks ago.....it's still got half a tank!)

Seriously?

What loving people to care about my wellbeing so much.  (okay...that bit I do mean!)

I've nodded and agreed and repeated and assured.
And anyone who knows me.....is a bit skeptical about my sincerity and just a tad concerned about that wee bit in me that says 'Nahhhhhhhhh...I'm good!'.

Heck, even *I* know that wee bit will get HUGE in quick order.

Right now I'm just wondering what WE talked about.
Zackly what IS it that WE have taken care of?

:-/

Ohhhhhhh.....I DO hope it involved asparagus!
I stole a look last night at the neighbor's garden....it's ready!
