Got myself into some deep dodo this morning. The wife had cataract surgery on her right eye last week and I’m her designated Uber driver for the next month. (She gets the left eye done next week.)
Early this morning I drove her into town for her one week follow up. After that I drove her over to the pharmacy to pick up meds that had been phoned in. We got a fresh dumping of snow overnight and most of the roads and parking lots have yet to be cleaned. I get to the pharmacy’s HUGE parking lot and there are only a few cars there. I made this big arching turn around the end of the curb to get to a parking spot. Without even thinking I put my foot down and did this big ass ¾ doughnut to drive straight into the parking slot. No sooner had the back end started to swing out and the wife is yelling; “YOU STUPID ASS! What an idiot thing to do.” I tried to laugh it off and claimed she enjoyed it. I did see a little smirk on her face but… I know I’ve not heard the last of this.
What can I say, I'm 71 and I likes to have fun!
