Sleep deprivation is really not the best way to begin driving. However, I took the helm and relied on my mother and sister reciting the rosary as I drove to our destination. ( I recited, but had to pay attention to road closures and other seemingly “important” signs!) We were heading to the best biggest city – BBC – to procure new technology.
It is IMPOSSIBLE, truly, to make a return trip home, the first destination of the road trip, without an additional road trip. In this case, we needed a new computer. That is not something easily attainable in the Village of Lindsay. However, absolutely everything you need for day-to-day living is available here. Truly. So – this computer business (new technology) was unexpected and challenging, and yet, fulfilling.
Okay…I don’t know who it was fulfilling for, but at this point, I have to stop the entire monologue. Some fish just spit or spewed a whoosh of water out of the fish tank of my mother’s home!!!!!!!!!!! I had to stop this entire missive to feel around for potentially live fish who were spewed forth for some reason! It is wet all around, but no fish flipping about. Read the blog, Mom, and I’ll relay the intimate details.
So, with the limited technological knowledge provided by her two daughters, my mother will be subjected to her new computer tomorrow and we will forever have our names linked to every potential disaster provided by the internet!
On the bright side, this is a cool computer and it will be amazing. And the road trip will continue with a family gathering that very few people get to experience! (Truly the reason for which this person authoring the missive made a point to return. I can’t begin to touch on the honor bestowed on me for tomorrow’s invitation. ) I will always return to my village to see my mother, but this particular opportunity includes not only her, but my entire childhood. Let me keep you in suspense! And let me thank you for that.
