Isolation Diary: Today I interacted with several non-family members! What a day of expansion! A family, friends of Maggie, came over to enjoy my backyard for awhile. I hid 19 hats for them to find. Big hit. Why do I have 19 hats? Tush. I have 3 times that many. Why do I have so many hats? Some are costumes, yes, but others… you know, they accumulate . So you all don’t have bins of hats? Huh. Second encounter: when last I drove my car (out to Pasadena on the 29th to celebrate Fig’s birthday) my car gave me a ‘low tire pressure’ signal. So today, finding myself with no excuse not to handle this, I drove to my neighborhood gas station/repair place and asked for help. Given. A very nice, competent, young man found I had a huge screw stuck in one of my tires. Fixed. I just LOVE when people have the tools for the job! He was wearing a mask, I was wearing a mask. And sunglasses. (which I didn’t remove because they are prescription and I just think of them as glasses) I realized my face was really obscured from him. Yet I think he understood my appreciation and gratitude for fixing this problem so quickly. Gotta love these communicative cars.
