Never Ending Crap
A couple weeks ago there was a big snowstorm. Zoe and I were driving home from a local restaurant* and the cars in front of us started to slide on the ice, in order to keep from crashing into them (at a nice slow pace of 10 mph) I went head-on into the snowbank in the median. I tried to turn, I tried to stop, but the ice prevented any and all cooperation with my brakes and steering wheel. I seriously did NOT think there was any damage. Wrong. The front end is off kilter, and on Saturday something underneath my car started to drag along the ground. Did I mention that I have a $1000 deductible? I do.
Then, the three of us went in for annual eye exams. It turns out that Zoe has a very bad eye infection that needs to be treated with eye drops three times a day. Good Lord, you’d think we were torturing her! We are on day 3 of the eye drops, and it’s gotten much better, but those first two days were terrible. Have you ever tried to hold open a 6 year old’s eyelid while admistering eyedrops AND holding her arms down at the same time? It’s not fun.
And then ….. I made her come with me to the dermatologist today because she’s had these spots near her arm pit that won’t go away. She’s got a viral infection that can be treated with little success using topical cream, or very good success using liquid nitrogen. Ouch! I couldn’t bear to do the liquid nitrogen today, so we are giving the cream a whirl. Maybe it’ll work. I did buy Lucky Bamboo yesterday, you know.
I’ve been on vacation since before Christmas, it’s been wonderful to stay up as late as I want, and sleep in as long as I want, but let me tell you there’s a reason parents work and kids go to school. It’s to keep everyone from strangling one another.
We’ve watched the entire first season of Dexter, which is very good. We are now on the second season, but we usually don’t start watching them until 9 p.m., which means that by the end of the show I’ve fallen asleep and have to rewatch the episode again the next day.
We went to see National Treasure, it was very good. I also read The Cinderella Pact, by Sarah Strohmeyer, I couldn’t put it down.
*The restaurant server changed his tip on my credit card by $0.80 and I was complaining about it. They made me come to the restaurant to get a refund. I blame the waiter for my accident. If he would have been honest with my credit card, then I wouldn’t have had to come in. See how that works?

The restaurant server changed his tip? That is just low…
Hope Zoe feels better soon!
What a time you’ve been having. Poor Zoe..eye drops and cream. Hope you don’t have to do the liquid nitrogen.
Ok, the waiter changed his tip by 0.80? What kind of creep does that? Holy cow. What do you bet he was doing it to all of his (or a lot of them) customers. That’s just lower than low.
What!?! How bold of that waiter. I can’t believe it! I would have asked for his whole tip to be refunded.
We love Dexter! He’s the hottest serial killer around. We rented Season 1 to get caught up, and then we subscribed to Showtime just to watch Season 2. There were a few weeks where I was anxious the whole week to see what happened. Maybe you can sic Dexter on that waiter.
