Hello

Last night WFO and I went here

Where we watched a documentary about George Takei

vixmom · « **Reply #124 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:10:33 PM »

Then he gave a talk and held a Q&A

Afterwards he signed the books we received included in the price of admission

Covid free vibes for the Rodzinskis

Monday I got up early and showered and dressed and drove to work

vixmom · « **Reply #129 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:16:44 PM »

Traffic was heavier than I had expected for Columbus. a day and I ended up being ten minutes late to work

vixmom · « **Reply #130 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:20:49 PM »

Therefore I was surprised when I entered our suite (which we share with another firm) to see that I was the first one in.

vixmom · « **Reply #131 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:21:28 PM »

I realized traffic was annoyingly heavy but …

vixmom · « **Reply #132 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:23:58 PM »

Then someone from the other firm said, “ oh I thought you guys were off today”

vixmom · « **Reply #133 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:25:02 PM »

So I called my boss, who confirmed that we were indeed closed for the holiday

vixmom · « **Reply #134 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:25:28 PM »

So I went out to my car and. Allen my auto mechanic

vixmom · « **Reply #135 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:26:02 PM »

Since that morning two warning lights had popped up my dashboard

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:26:21 PM »

The oil light and the tire pressure light

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:28:32 PM »

Not the oil light that causes panic , the kind that means it’s time for an oil change

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:29:28 PM »

The mechanic was NOT closed for the holiday

vixmom · « **Reply #139 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:30:04 PM »

And they said they could “fit me in” in about 30 minutes

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:31:39 PM »

30 minutes, coincidentally, was the amount of time it would take me to get from the office parking lot to the mechanic shop.

With time for a stop at Dunkin Donuts

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:33:11 PM »

Where I bought a dozen donuts for the guys and a Boston Cream and cup of butter pecan decaf for me

vixmom · « **Reply #143 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:34:17 PM »

Juggling everything while trying to get my car unlocked I managed to drop my coffee

vixmom · « **Reply #144 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:35:08 PM »

Although I managed to dance out of the way of the hot coffee

vixmom · « **Reply #145 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:35:46 PM »

After putting the donuts in the car I went back and reordered my coffee

vixmom · « **Reply #146 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:36:56 PM »

The manager had seen what happened and insisted on giving me a replacement cup for free

vixmom · « **Reply #147 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:37:40 PM »

Then I carried on to the mechanics who were quite pleased to be gifted with a box of donuts

vixmom · « **Reply #148 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:40:50 PM »

They changed my oil and discovered a nail in my tire

vixmom · « **Reply #149 on:** October 16, 2024, 07:41:35 PM »

I just bought a complete new set of tires from them in July, so they repaired the tire under warranty
