I never understood why people ask the question, "Do you want the good news or the bad news first?". I guess I'm just a 'rip the band-aid off' type of guy, and would respond "Just tell me".
Well, the Youngest Son went for his road test for his drivers license yesterday ... and he passed. Good. Now he has the transportation to get out and find a job. Good. I need to get with my insurance agent, and have them "shop me around" to find a good deal for the coverages I want, and adding him as an 18 year-old driver to the policy... that's going to add some money being spent. Bad. Then there is the worrying I'll do as a parent for the first few weeks (months?) about him being safe on the road, etc. Bad.
I just booked the hotel for our trip to Pueblo. Sigh. Of course, prices from yesterday to today have increased. Welp, still need to stay somewhere, so I booked it before it rises again. The Wife tossed me a curveball this morning. She says I had offered, if needed, to pick up another of her aunts from Cottonwood, AZ, and take with us. I recall no such verbal anything that I said that. That will add an additional hour+ to the already long drive. What are her 2-night overlay plans, since we have a hotel already? Well, allegedly the Aunt will make her own arrangements. So now I wonder, how far all over Pueblo am I going to have to drive, between our hotel, the Aunt's stay (be it relative or hotel), the church.... So frustrating. But I caved-in to the Wife. It's what she wants, and if she's happy, my life is easier.
So, this trip is in two weeks from today, basically. What else is going to be added before we even get on the road?
Bah!
