Trying to think of something encouraging to say, but I'm coming up blank. My first thought is; Do you have enough wine?
Is there enough wine in the world.....is there? LOL
Ya know - it worked out ok for DH cuz I don't have time to be as upset as I normally would be for something like that. The car is driveable. The piece that's knocked off is the very bottom piece that runs under the doors....and honestly...it's not terribly noticeable. More concerning to me is that the entire wheel-well for the back tire is gone. I think those things are important to keep yuckiness from ending up in places that yuckiness shouldn't go? I don't really even know.
He was pretty bummed because this is the nicest car he's ever owned.... except maybe the little Lexus that got totaled that led him to this car. It's dang sure the most spendy car we've ever bought.. geeze! I'm about ready for him to go trade it in on a Prius - why have a nice car if ya can't keep it nice? Maybe he should just trade it in for a go-cart.
I can't even remember if I've shared the go-cart story with ya'll yet....if I have just bear with me cuz I'm about to repeat it. My son and his wife had a late T'giving get-together on Saturday. I had intended to go. DH was gonna watch the oldsters and I was gonna get outta the house for awhile. But, mom was bad that day so I stayed home. Sunday morning my son called and we were chatting...he tells me he's on his way to pick up his wife's prescriptions. I ask him what for and he says she broke her arm last night. Holy Cow - how did that happen? One of their guests brought a guest who was slightly inebriated....she saw the go-cart and wanted to ride - actually she wanted to drive. My son was not happy about it - but his wife said she'd ride with the gal and kinda guide her through driving it. Trying to be a good hostess and all. This crazy person whom they'd NEVER even met proceeds to get absolutely nutso in this go-cart and was tearing around the pasture at 11pm at night while they were all screaming for her to slow down... She hit a patch of dirt and flipped the cart. (This is not your typical go-cart - it's a big adult 2-seater with a souped up engine.) My D.I.L. wasn't wearing her seatbelt and was thrown out of the cart which then proceeded to roll over her. The roll-bar rolled right over her arm - above the elbow and below the shoulder - and snapped it clean. Sure glad it didn't roll over her head! (see - we do have good luck now and then, lol)
Lesson learned for them.... at any future gathering the go-cart is gonna be "broken"!
I tried to sex the piglets in the dark last night. When I started to think that they were all male I discovered that I was counting (actually trying to do it by feel - kinda yucky) umbilical cords instead of penis's, lol! I will take a flashlight next time! But - what other breed of pig would let ya walk into their 'nest' and start grabbing babies and not kill ya? I love these pigs!
Got a tiny peek at the garden and it looks like most of what I planted is sprouting...at least the spots I could see and the started plants are doing great. Keeping in mind that I do all my feeding and outside chores in the dark these days - so that might be an optimistic lie!
I know my crazy life is full of bumps and challenges right now - but this will all pass and at some point, if we survive it all, we might get to return to our normally ab-normal existence, lol!
