Yep, the crisis appears to have passed and Pops drove to the mall to shop yesterday. Arrgh! I am very glad that I sent in the Request for Re-examination to the DMV. But I am glad that he is doing better, and is actually eating a little. I didn't really realize what a drama-queen my Mom can be. Or maybe she just needed someone that she could voice the worst-case scenarios to. I need to remember that in the future.
Drama with Jamie moving into the dorms- her roommate asked her to switch rooms so that her roommate from last semester can move back in (her best friend, who apparently was not going to return this semester but changed her mind at the last minute). I told Jamie that this happens all the time, but she needs to find out what the University procedure is about changing assisned roommates- she needs to do this right, since she wants to be a Resident Assistant in the fall. Also, she has a lot of apps out with that room as the address. This could be a valuable experience for her when she interviews, and a real opportunity to show maturity and empathy. We will see how this shakes out when we start to move her tomorrow.
The ad for my car appears today- I hope to get it sold by the end of the month, so that I can get on with my life. Going to run some errands and get a For Sale sign to stick in the window, too. Probably ought to drive it until it sells, so people can see it. My bike mechanic (and landlord) put studs in the tires of my little foldable bike, Pixie (now aka Spike) and I rode into work yesterday- riding in snow and ice is an acquired skill, but I felt pretty stable with the spikes. There are really just a few months where this is problamatic, and I am fortunate that simply walking to work is doable (no more than 20 minutes, when the sidewalks aren't cleared- about 12 door to door in good weather). I also had a blast the day I snow-shoed to work.
Lots to do today, so I better get on it!
