Tomorrow

So tomorrow is a small, insignificant day. I will get Teo to day care as usual at quarter to eight. I will be in the office by quarter after. Somewhere in there, my sister is most likely going to give birth to a baby boy.

Whatever.

After that, there's going to be text messaging and some jittery behavior on my end for the rest of the day. I am taking the afternoon off, as I have made a doctor's visit for Mateo at the same hospital where Teo's cousin will be born. So I will pick him up early, go to the doctor's, and see what happens.

I am hoping to get to stop by, to meet my nephew in his early hours. Kari may be drugged up and crazy, but Andoo will let me know the haps as they develop.

The one issue? It's eight pm the night before this day care-work-day care-doctor-hospital driving extravaganza, and I just noticed I have a flat tire. I heard a suspicious hissing sound in my garage this evening as I unloaded the groceries, but I just shrugged it off as nothing. But um... well, the tire is completely flat.

Good timing there, God. Niiiiiiice.

Update: Catastrophe averted. I am borrowing my sister's car because, well, she won't be using it for awhile. I will drive around town in that car and then eventually get my tire fixed. Andoo is going to replace my tire at some point with the spare I didn't even know I had. Yes, I am a girl. I have never fixed a flat. My only excuse is that I haven't owned a car since I was 19, and I honestly never though it was something I needed to learn at any point in the last decade.

We did point out the positive in this, however. Miracle had it that I even noticed the flat this evening, as the guy who was supposed to deliver something to my house yesterday ended up flaking and coming tonight instead. I happened to have left my wallet in my car, so I had to go back out to the garage to get it. And that's when I noticed the flat. At 8 pm, instead of 7 am. When they would have already have been at the hospital and otherwise occupied.

So, I repeat: CATASTROPHE AVERTED.
