     Occasionally, in life, we get tested. By whom or what? Well, I guess that depends on your beliefs. I know who tests me. I also know(think) I probably fail most of those tests. It's okay, because in my heart I want to pass life's tests. Sometimes, I think that's enough. Today's test came when my driver's side mirror was kindly detached from my car. 😒

     There's two ways to look at this. I could cry, curse, and scream! And, okay, maybe I did a little of that. In my head.

     The other way to look at it is this, at least the person who did it told me about it. She happens to be my Aunt. I was at her house mentoring her disabled son- my cousin. She felt really bad. I felt really bad for her. She's been under a lot of stress lately. Mostly relating to my cousin.

     The mirror actually came off pretty cleanly so it might be able to be reattached without having to bereplaced. I hope so. Fortunately, I have a friend who fixes cars for a living. I'll let him take a look at it first. In the mean time, I get to enter my car through the passenger side because the mirror is temporarily attached with duct tape. I wasn't thinking when I initially taped it so I can't open the door without pulling it apart. Fun times, indeed!


I found out this paint color hides duct tape almost as well as it hides dirt. 😡
