Once I posted something to stay up a while – in lieu of writing about my oh-so boring life – things actually happened that warrant an entry. Isn’t that the way life works?
Anyway, yesterday morning I was doing my usual routine: feeding Elliot in bed, saying goodbye to Ash, and falling back to sleep for a couple hours. I heared the click of the door locking and started drifting off when suddenly, I heared a second click and the clunk of his shoes coming down the hall. Thinking he forgot his ID badge or something, I was surprised when he said that someone had smashed his windshield.
In the past – but no sooner than at least 10-12 months ago – some punks have thrown eggs at his car, which is parked on the street. But this is reprehensible. The across the street neighbor’s mailbox was obviously bashed as well. Now, I said at first I’d rather it had been my mailbox but I take that back; I would have had to pay to buy a new box. But Geico covers windshields and by 11 AM, a Safelight technician was out at our house, installing a brand new windshield. He kind of needed one anyway. It used to be his father’s car and from many cross-country trips, there were little dings and pits all over it. So in that aspect, it was sort of a boon in disguise.
I think my little photo project is going well; I might not do a lot today because of being kind of busy but we’ll see.
I went to my GP this morning to follow up on my carpal tunnel issue. Pregnancy induced CT usually goes away by this time but mine seems to be hanging around; and he definitely concluded it to be actual CT. Oh and did I mention that my doctor is really attractive? I used to go to another doctor in that same group; an elderly grandfather type guy, but he no longer accepts my insurance so they made me switch. He’s probably early forties and has a sort of ranch-hand rugged look. Certainly makes going to the doctor an enjoyable experience.
I’m exhausted today from staying up until 1, feeding Ell at 3 and not getting him back to sleep until 4 and then getting up at 6:30. I’ll be so very thankful once he’s sleeping 5-6 hours at a time. It’s not a whole lot longer but it will make significant difference in my overall happiness.
And with that, I am off to play some duels.com and relax.
I wonder if there is some sort of neighborhood watch or something if the vandalism is happening at several homes? Those punks need to pay.
Thanks for the whimsical picture. I can think of several clever captions for whatever the dog might be thinking ..
