The Continuing Saga

Turns out that the registration that looked current to me yesterday turned out to be a 6 instead of an 8 in the clear light of today, therefore, it was two years' ago registration and not this year's. I called somewhere to see if I could renew it even though it's not my car -- I can't -- and found out that it was renewed, the card just isn't in the car. At which point, I'm done.

I did very little today, which was fine. After the therapist, I went to the cleaners even though it isn't Saturday and had the pants I bought for the wedding pinned and left them there to be shortened. Now, sewing happens to be one of those few domestic tasks I have mastered, but not these pants; they're chiffon and lined, so it's really like four pant legs two of which will show every stitch, and I know my limits.

(Hey, maybe I'll get back to sewing when I retire. It certainly has occurred to me that I will happily make every grandchild's Halloween costume, as I made my own kids'. Not that there are grandchildren yet, or anywhere on the horizon. But hope spring eternal, you know.)

I have no other news. As annoying as the whole car thing has been, that kid has been true to her word and had either called or texted every day since she's been away. Truth be told, I would not have been so good to my mother. Oh, maybe I would have by the time I was R's age, which is 27, but for sure not at 22 or 23. I can just hear me: "Ma! I'm not a little kid! I am not calling you every day!" Of course, technology was different then. Who knows, maybe with today's cellphones, I would have called every day when I was in England and Wales at 21. Looking back at the time I was stuck on campus in a blizzard, I wish I had had a cellphone to let my parents know I was okay, because I knew how terribly worried they were, even then.

Okay, I'm giving the Sibs a quick call and then looking through my new book on digestion, which th4e nutritionist recommended and which came today. Yum.
