Wow, that’s some comprehensive inspection to uncover something like that! When we lived in Virginia, vehicles were (are?) required to have an annual inspection which cost $10 and took maybe 10 minutes. I think they “inspected” the wear of your tires, whether all your lights worked and, maybe, the state of your brakes. I felt sorry for the garage owners - this had to be a waste of time and money for them unless you were driving a piece of junk that they got to repair. Then again, I’m sure a lot of people did…
shoe - I get the sense from your posts that your mother lives in a world of her own. Seems to me all you can do is smile and move on and be thankful she’s not your next-door neighbor.
Lessee, what’s fabulous about me, apart from the obvious, right?
I’d say I’m the best grandmother since grandmothers have been invented, but that’s obvious, obviously! And as has been mentioned already, I haven’t knocked anyone upside the head. Um, I know! I keep the ice bin full!
The ice maker in our freezer conked out years ago and short of emptying the fridge and letting it come to room temp over the course of a few days (in case it’s just a frozen line) I decided to buy a counter-top ice maker, and then another one that makes “good” ice. And I keep it clean and I run it every day or so to ensure there’s plenty of ice on hand for someone who must fill his glass to the brim with ice, and then dump half of it down the sink when he’s done. Oh, and remember the not whomping upside the head.
So yay, me!!
I’m meeting my friend Val for lunch today - haven’t seen her in eons, even tho she lives in Alexandria, which isn’t all that far. We’ll meet at a restaurant about halfway between and see if we can catch up. And I promise not the show her every single pic of the world’s most amazing grands! There’s something to be proud of! Actually, last night I had to look to see if I had a decent, recent pic of the two. I mostly used my phone to send “here’s what they’re doing now” photos to my daughter when I was babysitting. So I found one I’ll share and that will be that.
Remember the olden days when people would pull out a long strip of pictures from their wallet? And they’d just bore you for maybe 10 minutes? Now they can whip out thousands of pictures and videos!
But I don’t do that. Because I’m nice, dammit!
Anyway, the ice maker is running, FCD is still sleeping, and I’ve got just under 4 hours to kill before I have to drive to Waldorf. And so the day/week begins.
Happy Moanday!
