It’s been a couple of crazy days around here. Yesterday, on the way to work, Thom’s engine light came on. I started to panic slightly since his is the only vehicle we have right now {Thom’s good friend has loaned us his old [i’m sure Thom would call it vintage] beater truck so that he can tool around town if he needs to}. I turned around immediately and headed back home, called work, and took a vacation day.
Then, just after midnight, Thom’s mom was taken to the hospital by ambulance. She’s had problems breathing all week. Thom was at the hospital until 6 am. His mom was transferred to Little Rock. She’ll likely be there the whole weekend.
Today we’ve said goodbye to a couple of fixtures around the Scenic house. My car has finally left the driveway, via another tow truck. It’s on it’s way to ~hopefully~ be fixed.
I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned this on the blog, but we’ve had a couple of parakeets for just about a year. Thom’s good friend {of aforementioned vintage- truck- loanage} so graciously gave us the pesky birds cuz they were annoyingly loud. They were a lovely addition to the household for about a week before they annoyed us too. We’ve endured Para’s and Keet’s noise a long time, in my opinion. It just got to be too much though…so they’re on their way to a new home. I told you Thom was starting a menagerie. Two birds and a fish at the Scenic house…and the two kitties at the Lake house.
I’m working a few hours on Saturday and all day on Sunday…so I’m getting in some baking while I have the where-withall. Is that the expression? Hope y’all are well and feelin’ fine. Would love to hear your weekend plans!
