ok, I'm feeling panicky right now...
my car is in the shop and I can't get down to the house again today.
Mum was ok with it yesterday and she said she did all right with
making their lunches, and hopefully that is true. Of course that may
mean that she and Dad had some of those little packs of peanut butter
crackers--which I know won't hurt them once in awhile.
The mechanic still can't find out what is wrong with the car so I
can't get down again today, and Mum sounded very upset when I called
her...so now I am anxious, too. (breathe in, breath out). And I had to
cancel her appt to have her vascular studies done this afternoon.
Yesterday I called a taxi and they never showed up, and when I called
today I was told they could not guarantee a time (!)...I thought it
could be set up with enough notice so I could get there, but
apparently not with the three companies I called. Well, this is
showing me that I have to set up another backup as far as
transportation goes.
Nick works as a youth counselor at a group home for troubled youth and
is working 12-15 hours a day because they are short handed, and so he
can't take the time off. I can't drive his old Blazer either--can't
adjust the seat for me to drive it safely.
My sister is using Dad's car (there are four of them but they only
have three cars) with the stipulation that it's available if something
like this happened...fine in theory, but I can't get ahold of her. She
and her husband went to Florida and were supposed to be back last
night. There was no answer at her home, work, or cell phone numbers...
Drat (in place of another four letter word I almost used!)...
ok, I have to roll with the punches and regroup...bright side is that
Nick is off tomorrow as far as he knows--sometimes he has to go to
court about one of the kids, but doesn't find out until the staff
meeting which is today. So I'll keep my fingers crossed...
I am sorry for the length of this post! And thank you for letting me
whine.
