What Kind of Cloth are you?

hen it seems like Monday but it's not...

Tuesday 9/8/2020
This is going to be a weird week...I got up at like 6 am after laying awake from 5 am.  I just couldn't sleep...today is the morning we are supposed to take my son's car to the mechanic.   I could probably fix his car but he doesn't trust me.  haha.....His view of my talents and my view of my talents are like polar opposites.  I believe in me, he thinks Im crazy...so off to waste money paying an expert..pppffff  SAME expert who missed the split in my ignition coil wire and was causing all the trouble with my van tune up that I found like within 5 mins of looking!!!!!pppppffffffff

We said we would leave about 8 am, will he be ready?...let me put it this way if he is, that's the first time in 40 yrs.  I'm a much better mechanic than I am a tolerant parent of an adult...he reminds me of my older sis...she was always late every single day when we depended on her to drive us to school she just barely got us there on time...and she used to drive with her coat on over her PJ's glad she never got pulled over or had an accident...AND she forgot to pick us up not once but TWICE...drove right past as we waved our arms and hollered at here... Those damned Aquarian's You just can't get through to them...air heads! :o)

OH MY he just texted me said he is eating and then we will get going so I better get ready...LATER

2:00 PM

Okay Im back it didn't take long to drop the car off and even tho I was told by ONE brother at the Garage when I went last week, Bring it on Tuesday and we can get right on it....when we got there at 8:30am the Other brother of the operation said it will be tomorrow before they can look at it..And he was writing our info on a line down the page so I pointed up about 3 entries above and said "We are already listed right here."  OH he says I didnt see that..
So what is the use to write things down if no one checks it??

Then off to the post office LONG line they don't open till 9 am..and this lady got in there with this HUGE box it was crushed and had the most hap-hazard duct taping job spun all over it, and it had a pre-printed shipping label on top...
The postal worker weighted it and said "this is 5 lbs heavier than the weight on the label." Patron says "really." Not exactly surprised sounding, then the postal lady says'..."and the box is much bigger than the shipping label says. I can't accept this." So she nearly knocked me down as she struggled to get it out the doors as we ALL held the doors for her she could barely carry the darn thing.
Amusing... and I do think she was wearing bedroom slippers....yep
The the next 4 people in line all wanted Money Orders!!
I don't understand why they don't have a separate window for Money Orders!!

Next we made a couple stops my son did some job inquiries, and then we visited his Dad and my Mom at the cemetery and then back home.  On the way he tells me this..."OH I gotta get my license replaced." Of course I say WHY..
So he shows me one of those marvelous new wallets that is actually an overgrown money clip that is magnetic..WOW..it's so handy when  you get out to put gas in the tank you can stick it to your car. REALLY? why in the  hell would you want to do that?...is what I'm thinking and Im pretty sure I was frowning when I thought it...

and so he said..."Im gassing up....so I stuck it right there on the roof where I always do, and then got back on the interstate and I hear this sound something banging on my roof...that's when I said OH NO..pulled over the magnet wallet is there but my license, ss card, and cash $120  GONE"

IM Looking at him like you have got to be kidding me....and he continues,
"So I pull over jump out and start walking back the way I came and found a $20 bill and was pretty sure I'd find the rest and along comes a state trooper and says,"
"Sir, foot traffic is not allowed on Interstate Highways." My son explains..
TOO BAD says cop and makes him get in and he drives him back to his car!! And makes him leave. Like I said different cloth....different cloth..Im like gingham and he is like, like LIKE  tulle.    OMG  
A $2 wallet, just cost him $120 in cash and the $25 the DMV will charge to replace his license.  OK...have we learned anything...Im like why are you still carrying it?? Throw that thing out, you can't afford a wallet such as that one!! No bulge in the pocket..easy to see WHY!!


Then I told him about the day I got stuck in the mud this past spring in a Wildlife refuge, and worked for like an hour trying to dig myself out, NO cellphone signal and would have to walk at least 2 miles outta there to get to a place where I may have 1 bar of signal on my crappy cellphone and he is my PHONE A FRIEND, and he never freaking answers my calls or even reads my texts anymore...so I told him
"How'd you like to be me.....I was gonna walk 2 miles in hopes I reached the road before nightfall cause it was already getting late to try and phone you to come rescue me. Then I just decided Better Keep Digging....My backup plan is more like a backfire plan."
...he laughed, threw his head back and cackled like a hen laying her first egg...

Yeah...really funny hahaha

I had some yard chores to finish up from yesterday and that was my day up to now... Im feeling sleepy... I really hope I sleep better tonight...my sis told me she was not sleeping well and she knew she had to drive our other sis and Jimmy to Denver, so she said, "I had a Jack Daniels in coke and slept like a baby."
OH MY ---hope her blood alcohol was back down when they made the drive...You just don't know what's going on behind the scenes of other people lives.
I checked I got no Jack in the cabinet.

So I got up on the ladder and was JUST out of reach of that other bird I've been trying to catch...I need a net...with a long stick If Id had a net I could have scooped him off the branch he could NOT see me period..but I wasn't quite tall enough!! Turned around BIG Black snake on the opposing limb..scared the bejezze out of me...but then I saw it was only a black snake.  I nearly jumped off the ladder!!  That bird had me and a snake on his trail..OMG---~~~~>poor bird.

My mower blades did not arrive today so I checked the tracking supposed to come tomorrow...it said USP postal solution, so does that mean it's coming by US Mail?  It may fit in my box...So if it arrives I will be getting that put back together soon.  

The saga of my life goes on...I look for solutions and shortcuts to ease the craziness of my simple life in 2020.
