It rained *all* weekend here. Still raining. Sue put in two long days working on a grant application. Poor me, I had a rough one. On Saturday, running errands in the afternoon, I clipped the passenger side mirror on the inside of the garage. Haven't done something like that since 2000.
Big bummer, but not too big of a deal. Then in the evening, we went to a party two doors down. A great Rosh Hashanah-prompted party - brisket and kasha, met some cool new people from Providence... but everyone brought wine, no beers. At 8PM, soon after we got there, they ran out of brew. I offered to go get some before dinner was served. Noelle grudgingly agreed.
I ran home through pouring rain, and as I pulled out of driveway, another accident! I hit my neighbor Julie's former-husband's little car on the driver side. It was parked right at the bottom of the driveway, annoyingly but legally, across the street. My gosh. I was dumbfounded. I left a note for him, ready to pay for the significant dent on his car. Our bumper has a crack in the corner.
Sunday morning, I wanted to go over to Brown's gym for the first time to shoot some hoops. Needless to say, I didn't want to drive. It was still raining, and wouldn't you know it... I go in the garage, and my bike's back tire is flat. Yay! So I walked the bike two miles in the rain to the gym, then another mile to the bike shop to get a new tube once it opened at noon.
We're both hoping my transportation-related bad luck was only momentary. Everything else this weekend was very nice. For the next two weekends, we're out of town, so we needed to get a bunch things done. We did a round of cleaning and laundry, preparing for our first occasion to host people on Wednesday evening - Sue's internship class. We got a fencing estimate - $1500 - for twenty feet of cedar including two swinging gates; we'll be postponing that work. Sue got a lot done. We went to that fun party Saturday night. The Redskins soundly beat the Cowboys.
Enjoy the week! October already. Whew.
