Which of course, knowing me, was throwing moi into a slight panic as I would need it typed by tomorrow. However, the teacher threw us a reprieve this morning in class. Over the next three class periods, we'll have a 10 minute conference with him about this proposal and then we're free for the other two classes. Yipee!
The last four or five nights I've gone to bed no later than midnight. *wry smile* Perhaps that's why I've been yawning (discreetly) since 7:30? *smiles*
Oh! The Valley Medical guy came today, surprising all of us. He brought the new bearing for the front tire. The Serpent should be as good as "new" now. *mixed feelings* I've loved having my teal baby back, it fits me better, it's a smoother ride and turns a tighter circle. Yet, I hate to have the Serpent just sit there unused when we've fought hard to get a new wheelchair; my teal one's worn out. I feel guilty, you know?
Oh! I can't forget this! I almost forgot. Jon, Gabrielle and I were in a slight hit-and-run after the movie Saturday. It was freezing cold and Gabby doesn't have a car. I offered her a ride home. But there is a sssllight problem with zee van. The thermostat is broken so the windows don't defrost. When making plans with Gabrielle, I had forgotten that small but important detail. Jon had to scrape a big enough peep hole on the inside of the windshield and have a window open part way to see to drive.
So it made for one cold ride dropping Gabby off at the dorms. Gabby's side of the windshield was completely frosted over, it was making her mad. The frost impeded her ability to help direct Jonny to the college. We had to go up a hill through a neighborhood...aaanndd Jon got a lil too close to a van parked on the street. He says our window, but I'm thinking the mirror, bumped their window (mirror).
"Oops," Gabrielle cringed slightly. "Hit-and-run. Not even leaving a note!" She laughed a bit uneasily.
"Aaah, I know them," Jon reassured her. "It's ok. We didn't ding 'em. I'll tell Jason tomorrow. It's his van."
It had only sounded like a ping when we passed that van, so I knew the damage was minimal--if there was any. However, I could just picture Dad finding something wrong on Gabby's side--where we "rubbed" intimate shoulders with this kid's family's vehicle in the light of day. And it was after dark--if Jon had been picked up by the police....*closes eyes* we would be in a mess. Luckily, as we passed that house going back home, Jon saw that there was no damage. I tell ya, it's always somethin'. Whenever you're with me, you're liable ta have some lucky misadventures. Ha, you've been warned.
