700 Miles of Seester Time

I got a text that the shop time m&m expected to start on Friday had been bumped to Wednesday. So, not knowing if the shop was going to get them in early, we made plans to meet up for dinner on wed, possibly also on thurs, then maybe also spend Fri together. It all worked out, tho in unexpected ways. On Wed I had to get gas on the way to pick her up... hence my knowing what my mileage was at the end of the visit which officially ended at about 1 pm on sat. After about 700 miles of back and forth on i20... lots and lots of traffic.

The food is sooooooo amazing here we forgot to take pix

chilis is also good

mo gives me attitude. Also, it was 2 nights of being out past my bedtime, so it's official, my seester is a bad influence on me. I. Was. Exhausted.

Friday I got a text that I had to bring them coffee because they had a "random" drug test and I needed to bring my brother in law coffee so he could pee in a cup. So I did, then I had to take him back to the shop, then took my sis to get a pedi, then we went for Korean fried chicken

I dont want to meet the chicken who has these kinds of drumsticks. Then we went to Costco, then DQ, then home. Unfortunately Costco didn't have the Halloween squishies we were hoping for... mo needs a big batty bat. 

So, since I had covid during my 40th and hence was gyped, and mo was on the truck during hers and hence was gyped, we got a make up cake. So I b 40, and she b 40 + 2 😁. I traumatized poor Ace cuz he thought Mo was J and when he realized he was mistaken he ran under the bed and hid. Mo got a shower and told me that my shampoo bar is weird (I use the ones from Lush). I've used them for so long I kinda forget that people are used to liquid shampoos. 

The next day I picked her up and we went to Ham Orchards. It was the last day they were open for the season, so they were PACKED. It was also the only time we could bring the puppy with us.  

All the goodies, and ALL the humanity!!

She got peaches, pastries, and cinnamon rolls, I got spiced peaches, a fried coconut pie for the hubby, nuts, and a peach and a strawberry jam. On the way back to the shop we got a pizza for her. It was an early visit since we were both still pretty exhausted from all our running around and she had only gotten about 4 hrs sleep the night before since they only released the truck to them at midnight and wanted it back at 530 am. Seriously, truck drivers put up with a LOT of BS. As of Sunday morning, the truck is STILL in the shop.

J has been working all weekend to make up for his time off with the 'vid, but thankfully that means he has been feeling better. He went back to work on thurs. Ace is being a goober butt, but he's a cat so it's expected. I'm planning on being a bum the rest of the weekend because all of the fighting traffic takes it out of me, and I've realized why. When I'm driving thru the metroplex I'm in a state of hyper-vigilance, which is exhausting. In the country I can relax. Driving in Italy is going to very interesting.

I'm being watched.

Lazies.

Anyway, it was a very good visit, and I'll miss these shop visits when they stop driving. On the other hand, visits will be more intentional, which will also be nice. 

Oh, the appt for the endocrinologist won't be until Feb 19, so there's that... ridiculous. In the meantime, the migraine med doesn't seem to be working too well since I'm still getting a headache behind my right eye. Sigh... the brain has no pain receptors, so WHY do headaches exist!?!?
