So today happened. Had simultaneous things going on. I don’t as a rule like simultaneous things. I am a simple lemur and excitement is only fun if I orchestrate.
A family member went to the ER – totally unorchestrated by me and thus disqualified from being Authorized Entertainment.
At the same exact time Lemurita had a tire ruined yet again. Those tires were certifiable as crusty rubber bands and were a verifiable hazard. So because times are tight the only proper thing is for actual bona fide Dadding, orchestrating a remote selection of new tires from an ER waiting room – now… my last few years did not leave me without some new skills, so what would have just sent me over the edge turned into a not great day littered with awesomeness.
Early Mother’s Day flowers appeared at the house when we got back, hugs were given for a set of tires. Sandwiches were made and bellies filled.
So one *could* flip over the costs of tires, associated repairs work, deductibles, inability to pay the bill without racing from the ER and doing it in person then racing back, wasted Saturday… or one could simply realize it is just money and be grateful for the ability to show up and be someone dependable. I choose that.
Damn. Took all this time to figure that out.
