Crazy Weather & Other Agita
Yesterday, it was in the 60s! I'd seen that the temperatures were supposed to drop drastically later this week so I figured I would take the car so T and I could go to Imagination Kingdom (a cool playground not far from here). It was gorgeous! It was the first time T was in a baby swing (I think) and he was scared at first, clutching my jacket tightly. But it didn't take long for him to relax and enjoy himself, laughing out loud and looking all around. It did us good to get out.
Today it was supposed to get colder and rain all day. We were supposed to get snow showers later but it wasn't supposed to stick. So I had to go and see Dr. Rick about my ankle. Lin had gotten the day off from work cuz she also had an appointment at social services in the afternoon ... and a friend of hers volunteered to take her. That was a relief for me because from there, I was going to go pick up my spine X-rays and then get the referral to the orthopod from my family doctor. When I left for the doctor, it was raining and the wind was blowing. When I came out an hour later, there was snow everywhere.
And it was sticking like crazy.
Okay, I thought, I'll call my family doctor and see if she's got the referral ready ... and then I realized the cell phone wasn't in the car again. Grrrrr!
Nine times out of ten I will forget the cell phone because I only use it if I need it. Too many times I would be out on the road and realize I didn't have it. Sometimes I needed it. So ... I took to leaving it in the car, attached to the charger. It worked great for me ... until Lin began to use the car. She'll take it out of the car and use it. TB and I have talked to her about that because a couple of times we've been in the car and needed the phone ... and it wasn't there. One time Billy got lost on the way to karate and couldn't call for directions because Lin had the phone.
I was pissed.
The roads were slushy and getting messier after I got my Xrays but I thought I should still get the referral until I saw other cars skidding. When I applied my brakes they worked but they didn't "feel" right. I decided I'd just go home and that's what I did. It was kind of scary, actually, because the slush is sort of icy.
I got home and wondered if Linda'd changed her appointment but no, she & Tomas are not here. She left the diaper bag, though! And I wonder if she put a winter coat on the baby? Anyway I didn't get to ask her if she had the phone.
I want it back. Linda doesn't contribute to the phone bill and so she shouldn't have it. Maybe I should just keep it and hope I remember to take it when I need to drive the car ... wait a minute ... that's why I began leaving in there to begin with! What a PITA!
