Going Home Craziness

gonzaiGetting from work to home was veeerrryy innnteerrrestinng. Mom has been,,,exceedingly cranky. I figured she needed reading material and booze, and we needed a break from each other. Therefore...
I stalled off leaving work so I'd have more work to bring home with me (is that weird or what? But I'll be stuffing envelopes tomorrow.) I was parked in, so naturally just as I was about to leave, the attorney who had me parked in got a phone call. Half an hour later...then as I was pulling out of the lot, my left windshield wiper blew out. So I drive, in the snow, with no wipers, straight to Midas. Fortunately my main mechanic man was on duty and not very busy. Ten minutes later I have new wipers and readjusted wiper arms. While waiting, I considered cancelling my PT appointment. Decided not to. While I'm paying, the PT calls ME to cancel. The therapist wanted out of tonight's schedule. So that at least was out. Then to the library, where one of my Mom's best friends, whom I'd hoped to see, had been told not to come in because of the weather. But my father's buddy was working, and he helped me chase down 6 mystery novels for Mom, and I picked 2 biographies. Next stop was Safeway, where there were no eggs, darn few milks or ice creams and I snagged the last loaf of rye bread. Then next door to the liquor store, to get lottery tickets for me and Bloody Mary fixings for Mom. Last stop: McDonald's. I wasn't cooking. That was one huge arse crate of stuff I hauled into the house. But Mom is happy for the first time in days and I'm in until Friday, most likely.
Snow time...
