HMS Ratmobile, take two.
Monday, May 16, 2005Today my tire went flat...flat as a steam rollered pancake, and so I ended up getting driven...again.
When I got home we managed to find a spare, and I decided to change the tire by myself, my father watching. Sophie-the-cat thought this was fascinating. Now, my knees hurt if I crouch for more than a minute, so I was sitting on the ground, and she came over and loved up my ankle, resting her head on my foot. Then she butted the small of my back. Then she decided...to my father's annoyance...to come and sit between may arms, staring at the tire with fascination as I screwed the lug nuts back on. I think that my balancing a lug nut carefully on her head and saying, "there, now you're a real lug head!" cheerfully did little to endear my father any to the situation...
So anyway, perhaps tomorrow I will be able to drive myself to work again. *sighs*
I really probably am going to end up getting a pay as you go cell phone. Maybe a Tracphone? Permalink Cindy scribed this at 6:42 PM
