Expert on the etiquette of perilous times.
Last night he said something to me that was embarrassing and then tried to rectify and said something insulting. He soon came to our room (I was saying goodnight to everyone in the living room at the scene of his offense) to apologize and I easily forgave him.
This morning we kissed goodbye and he was walking out the door when I said, “I love you, even though you are mean as a rattlesnake sometimes.”
He paused to shake his giant can and make a rattling hiss then continued on his way.
My family/neighbors are making fun of my “1970’s Trinitron/Cold War” monitor.
We think bigger is better.
Well they made it.
From time to time one of them will remark, “I don’t know why I am so tired…” and I will gently remind them that they just spent five days in a truck that they loaded twice.
Oh yes.
We are so happy they are here
I spoke with Torey briefly last night. They were in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a mere twelve hours away. David wanted to push it and drive through the night. Torey wanted to stay over in Madison, Wisconsin. I don’t know what they decided.
The upstairs is ready and waiting.
Yesterday, after driving through the night, my brother-in-law, David, noted, while filling the truck with gas, that it was leaking transmission fluid. Uh oh.
Long story short (If you are still with me after that opening sentence you deserve some brevity) U-haul put them up in a hotel last night in Billings, Montana and gave them another truck. The new truck is an upgrade from the old and brand new, but they had to unhook their car as well us unload and repack all their stuff. That was on the agenda for today. I spoke with Torey last night. David was bummed because he had the eye of the tiger and wanted to keep going. Hopefully he still has it today.
On the home front the Christmas stuff, winter gear and all the toys are picked up and put away. Only the school junk remains.
I don’t want to talk about my laundry room.
