As I was doing my morning wake up routine; open my eyes, turn Hamish on, and peruse the Sydney Morning Herald, BBC World and certain morning blog reads whilst having a glass of water and a coffee. Today, two friends blogs had very different 'horror' stories. This triggered me thinking about the nightmare trip to DC two weeks ago where Will's Dad's van was broken into and vandalised right outside his house, whilst we were inside having a couple of hours sleep since we had been driving all night. Truly horrific, as we were shitting bricks in DC and needed to get back to Chicago to take over the lease on our new apartment. We then had to fly home to Chicago on the Saturday night.
Now this weekend, after much drama with insurance companies, Chrysler dealer in Virginia, DC and Virginia's sweet police forces, we have to fly back and pick up the van, plus Will's belongings and some furniture and drive the 12 hours back. A stop overnight at a Motel in Ohio, plus a lunch visit with some friends of ours in Indianapolis, and we should hopefully hit Chicago in time to watch 'The Oscars' with 9'ner and LP. Here's hoping that this is smooth sailing...I could do without another horror story.
As Yazz & The Plastic Population would say '..the only way is up!' Which leads us to a flashback Wednesday.... I LOVE the bike riders cap & lycra combo...I must have it...
