I got my car inspected this morning. I'm finally legal again! It expired at the end of May. I know, I know, that's terrible. But you've got to admit, I've had a lot on my mind lately! I actually took it in for inspection about a month ago, right after the grace period ended. But Jiffy Lube screwed up and changed the oil instead. This was the first chance I had to take it back. I've been cringing every time I see a police car for the past month. It will be nice to breathe easy on the road again!
They came yesterday to put the vanity in. They set it in place and told me that they were going to have the plumber come back and make sure it would fit before they anchored it to the wall. Unfortunately, they didn't tell me they were coming back today. I thought they were going to let me know when the plumber was free so I took the key with me this morning. Oops!
I feel really bad about it, but on the other hand, how am I supposed to know when they're coming if they don't tell me when they're coming. I offered to drive right over but he said no, they'd be back tomorrow. I guess the plumber didn't feel like cooling his heels and I can't really blame him.
I realize this isn't really your "link of the day" type of blog, but I can't resist this quote that someone sent me from this article.
"To point to the hurry and stress of modern town life as the cause of half the ills to which flesh to-day is heir has become commonplace. However, children cope more easily with the new necessities of life, and new arrangements which perplexed and worried their parents become habits easily borne. Thus we may imagine future generations perfectly calm among a hundred telephones and sleeping sweetly while airships whizz among countless electric wires over their heads and a perpetual night traffic of motor cars hurtles past their bedroom windows. As yet, it must be sorrowfully confessed, our nervous systems are not so callous."
--Scientific American, 1902
