Today my day
began and ended with spiders and I love that.
Mags discovered Violet had molted and was wearing her new fur and tonight I noticed a spider working hard at
wrapping another spider up. Rebirth and
Death, how very symbolic. I do love
symbols.
We all
enjoyed a leisurely late morning, but once I
discovered how late it was, Ethan and I got going to head to the automotive
paint shop with Lizzie Mae. We are
checking out how to strip her down and prep her. Drew from German Auto Werks suggested I go here as they taught
him everything about painting (he said) but I must appear inept or something
because they told me it really needed someone who knew what they were doing and they
gave me some numbers. Ah, well. Mags and I soon headed down the hill to pick
up Chenoa so we could shop for dance dresses.
The smoke was so thick in points that visibility was less than a mile. The fire was staying around 64,000 acres, but
see, I knew it had to be doing some damage; the smoke….it was terrible.
We met at
Starbucks in Folsom, then the girls and I headed to the Palladio. They got out
and begun the search for garments as I stayed in and continued the search
for parking. The parking structure was my
solution. Mags found a dress right off,
Chenoa found one in H&M. Accomplished!! Now Maggie was dying to go to Claire’s. Ugh. I'm not a Claire's fan.
Things became tricky when the girls went to Pinkberry’s and I , with my
roving eye noticed something: Jake’s Desserts. Now what kind of a joke is this?
I went in to look, and left. I
went in again…and left once more. The
next time I returned, it was with $2.50
I had borrowed from my daughter. I can’t
believe she made me do that. THEN she made me EAT IT. This hell live in. I will state that when they went into the chocolate
place, I only tested the sample after I finished my Halls…I did not buy
anything. How could I? Jake would not approve (his name was nowhere –
I checked). We headed up the hill to
pick up Ethan and then met Deb back in EDH.
What a lovely time it had been – even though it involved shopping.
The kids and
I headed to Sky Sushi to meet with Brian, Lindsay and our little ballerina
Sophia. It had been quite some time
since we had enjoyed sushi together and soon I will be heading back to the gym,
so you know what that means. We had a
terrific time and even Ethan seemed brighter – cheerier. Now, I’ve had a lifetime of SSRIs and know there
is no effect this quickly, but I believe, I hope
it is that Ethan finally feels a little relief from this Dark Depression he has
had, there there is a A Way Out. We shall see. We talked for a while and then headed home. There was a single car collision into the one
tree on the center divide of the freeway.
Speed, every time. Just like Jonathon. I don’t think anyone died, but it can happen that
quickly. Per my usual, I pointed this
out to the kids (I had also given Chenoa her Driving Tips and Life Lessons
during our car ride using on driving in the right land, the left lane is for
passing, focus, and don’t speed.
After sushi,
the kids and I prepared to play cards, but I needed to get an inhaler for me
and seltzer water for the kids and I . I ended up with some decent medicine which
should help and 2 cases of seltzer: kids and I were gonna party. We had a few fun games of “Joker.” First I should the kids the Kanye/Freddie
Mercury video. They love Freddie and Queen and think
Kanye is a jackass - proof that I have raised them well. Then we got down to some ABBA. Mags tired quickly – she is very excited
about the upcoming Best week Of Her Life.
Ethan and I kept playing, even though I was exhausted, this kid was
laughing and having such fun and I would much rather hang out with him than
<no offense> go into my room to write my 5aD.
