After hanging out nearby for nearly 6 hours, the guy ran out of time to vet the car. He was VERY apologetic, and I could have simply walked home (it's a mile), but on the other hand, it's not like this is a hurry-up job.
Back on Tuesday....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Neat. The part where I have to be awake at 2 am might keep me from seeing meteors. Then again it might not, life is full of surprises.

Touch up paint, duh. Thank you. I even have a coupon for a free whatever of it from Mazda somewhere. Not going to get done in the next week, unfortunately.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So I made it to a GP and an opthalmologist and I have an infected tear duct diagnosis, and two anti-biotics to pick up from the pharmacy. Except I'm so lame I left the rest of my dinner at the restaurant (or maybe in the UberX) and I'm just generally BLAH.
Still, one thing to get done.

I wish I were closer, ita, cause I'd go get the medications for you. Except, my own meds are at CVS as are a couple of Grace's meds. So I'm unreliable like that.
N&G's school had a pool party at an aquatic center. I was required to attend to chaperone him because he was under 8. There were approximately 225 kids there, which was half the school. The center had not only a zero entry design, but there was also a ton of sand. I'm just wiped out now.

I'm glad you are getting it clear up, ita.
Since all I'm doing lately is bitching, here's a nice thing: a couple weeks ago, a cardboard box filled with plastic grocery bags appeared at the entrance to the field.I figured, aw, how nice, someone put out dog poop bags! (There's a city trash can/compactor also right there that all the dog people make a lot of use of.) The next night when I walk by, it's filled with rolls of dog poop bags and I notice the writing- it's from a local girl scout troop, and they've requested the box is recycled when empty. Aw! But then, the next night, before a big storm, it is gone. I hope it is because they didn't want the bags blowing all over, not someone trashing it.
Well, it wasn't trashed. I *just* noticed tonight that they got a bag keeper from IKEA (I know, I have the same) and it is strapped to a nearby tree, full of the bags. And it has a GS sticker on it. Awesome!
