2/365 January 2, 2020


   
     So, today we went to drop off the car to see why the check engine light kept coming on and off and what was up with the air bag light being on. 

     We dropped off the car at 8:30 am and knew we would be at the dealership all day, we were and all they did was run a diagnostic and let me know the repairs was going to be $2587.93.  Great. Thanks. Well, some of the parts need to be ordered so I'll have to bring the back later... oh, what fun another full day wasted later on. To kill time Ian and I went and caught a matinee, Spies in Disguise, it was really cute. We over indulged in a TUB of popcorn so, after the movie instead of calling the shuttle to come pick us up, I decide we would walk back to the dealership.  It was only 1.5 miles and it gave Ian and I time to just walk and talk. He's a VERY talkative kid but, when it was just him and I walking he talked about more personal things and how happy he was walking with me.  I think this is
something we should do more often.  I could use the exercise and having someone with me just might motivate me to do it more often. Now to just convince my 11 year old to go.... well, that's a whole different story. Maybe I can bribe him.

     For the past 2-3 month Ian had been complaining about not being able to see clearly the clock on the stove or the whiteboards at school. Last week I made an appointment and sure enough he needed glasses. I felt horrible. He REALLY needed glasses. I couldn't believe I never noticed.... As I stated to the doctor that I couldn't believe I hadn't notice and that he had only recently started mentioning his struggles. He informed me sometimes at this age, eyes go threw a change and in 2-6 month eyesight can change drastically. Still doesn't make me feel any better, my child was struggling to see and I didn't notice.  On our way home we decided to check if his glasses had come in. They had just arrived that afternoon! Yay! Ian LOVED them and was so happy with them. When he put them on I felt he looked like someone familiar but, couldn't quite place the face. Later that night we were scrolling threw Disney+ looking for a movie, when it hit me! He looks like YOUNG Carl from "UP!!"
Well? what do you think?

     How many times have I done this? Start the New Year with so much hope and full of promises of THIS being the year I keep up with my blog?
   
     I can't believe I didn't post a single entry in 2019. There is NO way it was an uneventful year. Yet, I documented...NOTHING. I guess I could do a summary of 2019, maybe hit some highlights?  But after a bottle of wine I'm drawing a blank....
