the van is sitting safe and sound in my driveway. It started out this morning when I was getting ready for my bible study. I had a sudden insulin reaction and had to have something sweet. Ever eat a candy bar at 6AM after just waking up? Makes you nicely nauseated.
Then when I got to the home where the study is, I dropped my purse and it rolled down the stairs, my wallet came open and all my change spilled out. I also lost the leftovers from yesterday's luch I had forgotten to take out of the purse when I got home yesterday afternoon. So there I was crawling around the floor trying to find everything. I thing the owner of the house is still finding things.
So, finally made it home and this is what I found.
Simon thinks there is a prize in the cat food. He has it mixed up with cereal! I don't know why he does it, but he keeps digging it all out and I have to keep putting it all back.
Got it cleaned up and sat down to rest and of course fell asleep so I was late leaving. I was supposed to meet my friends at "Jane and the van's" home. They didn't know where she lived, so we were to meet at the cinema parking lot on the corner.
Only, we forgot they had a matinee, and the lot was full. I finally found them, and we went to Jane's and found she had just gotten home, and had not cleaned her things out of the van. She did that, and we went outside to figure out how to get the scooter into the van. It had been her husband's and she had never used it, so none of us knew how to operate the lift, or the scooter. The instructions were not very helpful. Finally we figured that out, the extra seat was put in the van and the plates removed. With all this activity, I had no chance to familiarize myself with the controls.
We drove the hour home with me in the front, Gary in my car and Anita following him in theirs. We got onto the highway, I was trying to find out how to turn on the wipers and lights in case it started raining wasn't looking behind me in the mirror. A semi pulled in between me and Gary. I kept going slower and slower trying to get the truck to pull around, but he just slowed down, too.
Finally, we got to where there was a third right lane and I moved over. Gary and Anita were nowhere to be seen behind me. I pulled over and waited a few minutes, but they never caught up. Now I had to wonder if they had had car trouble, or if they had passed when the semi did and didn't see me waiting. I didn't have their cell phone number, and she didn't have mine. Great! Since they knew the way anyway, I just decided to go home, and when I got there, there they were. They had passed with the semi and thought I would catch up. Gary said he tried to honk but could't find the horn. (it is hard to find on that car).
OK, so now we are home, and they are late for another appt. I shut the van off, and alarms started going off. We shut doors, turned off lights and it still kept beeping, even with the keys out of the ingnition. Finally found I had left the dome light on. (I had turned it on accidentally and didn't realize it.)
Ok, finally we got the third seat put in the shed, (once I found the key to it, I rarely use the shed). The van is in the driveway, they got to their appt and I sat in the van and memorized the manual. Then, I came in and took a well deserved nap.
End of story.
