Bad Day

Today started out okay. It’s Friday and I was really looking forward to the weekend. This was my first week back to work since Mom’s passing and I am all caught up with work. Then about noon I heard a loud noise coming from outside but I paid it no attention and went back to work. About a half hour later my boss’s dad came in and asked if I had a red car. I said that I did and then followed him outside to find my car covered under a few large branches. The largest was about 12 inches in diameter. Once I saw the car I immediately called Ben. He was out of the office and as my hands were shaking and my emotions rattled I tried to explain what happened. But he didn’t seem very concerned. In fact he thought I was exaggerating…until he saw the car! He told me later that I made no sense on the phone and all he understood from our conversation was that I needed him to come to the office right then. Well, Ben got there and handled the arrangements for me and then had to dash off to see a periodontist and left me with the tow truck and rental car. To make matters worse Ben found out what we had feared. He has an infection in his second “Haiti” tooth and that one has to be extracted and an implant and crown put in its place like the other “Haiti” tooth. Today was a very expensive day! I now have another reason for keeping Ben around besides as my trash man, vacuum man and pest control guy. Reason #4: he is my take control when I’m having a breakdown dude. I love you Ben!

I do keep you around for more than 4 reasons but not everything is for public consumption....OK, Ben wrote that!
