This morning I had a meeting to attend. It was in an area I was unfamiliar with so I brought along Jenna to help me out by reading signs and pointing out landmarks.
We got to the area but never found the place. Poor UT who was also attending the meeting was on the phone with me trying to guide me in the right direction. Traffic was awful, the sides of the streets were full of people double parked and whenever I slowed down to look at landmarks and signs angry motorists horns began to blare. I found myself driving in circles and at one point a pick-up truck backed into the side of my car. I finally just gave up and drove around until I found a road that looked as though it might lead me in the direction of home. Jenna and I decided to stop and have a hamburger before doing some grocery shopping and then we headed home.
The afternoon was spent getting ready for a visit from my sister-in-law's daughter, a newlywed. To give the aroosa a little something different we made Mexican food. Yummy! And after dinner I sent Jenna around the corner to get us some ice-cream.
I'm tired. It was a long day. But I am going to reward myself tomorrow with a hair cut. Yeah!!! Sheila is back! It's time to get pampered and feel and look human again.

ReplyDeleteHi, We really missed you at the meeting. Sorry you had such a bad time. It was quite fun though watching UT's face while she was talking to you on the phone and, I guess, you said a 'bad' word, as she put it. What? I don't believe you would say a bad word! Hope to see you at the next meeting (by the way wasn't ityou who sent us the map to get to the meeting!)

ReplyDeleteThe treadmill of life
ReplyDeleteA teacher, a mother & a housewife
What to expect? it’s the treadmill of life
Times: life’s a smooth sailing & well
N’ times: I wonder if it’s heaven or hell
This morning I had a meeting to attend
It was in an area I was unfamiliar with
Getting there is just another dead end
N’ as I usually do when I have a doubt
I brought along Jenna to help me out
Traffic & drivers response was unfair
Frantic & I just wanted to get there
Angry motorists horns began to blare
For every sign Jenna made a trace
Got there but never found the place
Awful & UT tried to help me through
Miserable enough to make you blue
We had hamburgers on our way home
Enjoyed spring scenery full of bloom
After a Mexican food and Ice-cream
Had a good sleep and a nice dream
Woke up & no longer feeling insane
Sheila made me look human again
