I have a really fancy car. It's glorious. More important, I have a super safe car. Five stars of safety. Still, there were two recalls and an update that Audi had to make on my terrific Q5. They said the whole process would take about three hours and asked if I wanted to use a loaner car.
The car dealership is right near a mall I like, so I thought about using their loaner car and heading to the mall. Then, I thought about how much money I'd probably spend at said mall. Instead, I decided to wait.
I brought supplies:
- snacks
- a book
- my knitting project
- my computer
- airpods
In addition to taking the exciting photo above (from my seat in the lobby) and having the idea for this post, I got so much work done. Even with the woman next to me who started about five different short conversations, I had fewer distractions than I have at home. I did eat my own snacks and some of the food they had out, but I didn't end up reading, watching movies, or knitting. I wrote two blog posts and did school work. It felt great to get so far ahead.
When you have places to wait, what do you get done? Feel free to write some suggestions in the comments.
Carita,
Rather than use snail mail, I’m finally replying to your 20 January note here.
I think a Saturday class is a good and viable idea for a few of us over 21s, but
with some reservations: class in the morning – I’m presuming Hotchkiss athletics would require this and there are many good talks Saturday afternoons here and at Scoville library attractive to us. And we would probably appreciate at least 2-3 weeks notice. Beyond that the class topics would probably determine who was interested.
Thanks for your note and continuing interest . Bill
Hi Bill,
That’s great to know. I think we might be able to do something after Spring Break. Let me figure out my book schedule and get back to you.
Did you also get the video I sent to you?
All good things, cg
