MILITARY MOVEMENTS in Postcards 4

It’s sunny. The water in the pool was warm. Smiles abound. I exercise in the pool till my knee feel baloonish. If I remember to keep my leg straight, I can drive the truck. Myrtle is new enough so there is little fuss getting her smogged. Poof, plug it in and done. Poof, take the paperwork too AAA. Zap, put the new sticker on the plate. Grumpy is a little more trouble.

First we have to use up all the gas in his gas tank. I’m driving. G’s driving. We have half a tank to go. G used a quarter of a tank to go to Poway and back last night. Once it is empty, we have to use a really strong injector cleaner with more gas. Maybe twice. There’s nothing modern about Grumpy.

Once that’s done, I can laugh at myself. Yesterday I wore three full changes of clothes. Coffee on the gym sweats. Leaked on the shorts, and dinner on the dinner clothes.

Comic Con looms. Yes, we will volunteer for an early shift if we can Bring Zoe with us. Margot is dropping her off early, and I don’t quite know how that is going to work. It’s amazing the focus of life as it changes. No, right now I don’t have cancer….we await the results of the PET scan. The vest is done.

The biggest decision of all: Are we going out or staying home on the 4th.
