Today I had the misfortune of needing to go in for an ultrasound. The only instruction I received from the receptionist when I booked the appointment was to make sure to keep my bladder full and drink at least 20 oz. of water.
I want to take this time to thank my children for having trained my bladder so well.
It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It used to be long ago, back in the Iron Age when I went to high school, the ultrasound transducers were not as sensitive as they are now. This is where I cheer for technology. The technician was very light-handed and the whole procedure was rather quick and mostly discomfort-free. Mostly.
Anyway, after that I went home to take Hubby’s car to be inspected. Hilarity ensued.
Mechanic: Hi, what can I do for you?
Me: Car inspection, please.
Mechanic: *looks it over* Looking good!
Me: *blinks*
Mechanic: Just kidding, just pull it over to the side.
Me: Oh, I get it.
Mechanic: Not enough coffee this morning?
Me: Let’s go with that, ok?
Mechanic: *snort*
Once again, I am in the itty bitty wait area, the sight infamous for the previous debacle. Anyway, I proceeded to wait, whiling away the time by entertaining a little toddler who was doodling in a “My Little Pony” coloring book. Soon enough the car was ready, so I paid and went out to get the car, when the mechanic came over and let me know he was impressed that the car was in such great condition. I told him thanks, and that it’s a result of her being Hubby’s baby. Instead of laughing, the mechanic nodded sagely and said “She sure is.” I don’t get this reaction when I take in the van or the SUV.
Finally, this afternoon I get to go back to the hospital to pick up Hubby, since we drove in together in one vehicle. This means I get to enjoy traffic in the rain. Then I get to cook dinner, which will be braised chicken. It will be braised in white wine, so I have that going for me.
I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food 😉
