Yesterday was interesting. I left the house.
Sunday I called the gadget repair place about replacing the speaker in my phone and I brought it to them yesterday. Woman comes in from the back and told her I called yesterday. She immediately said “yes. You need to have the speaker replaced in your 6S and I believe she quoted you $29.99.” Wow. I am never speechless, but man, that is some customer service. I didn’t even have my phone out. She was some kind of iPhone whisperer or had iPhone ESP. I left it with them and went to a meeting at the high school.
But first I needed an iced tea from Sonic.
For those of you who do not have a Sonic Drive-In in your town, it is a fast food restaurant with drive-in stalls, some having a drive-thru as well. Sonic has everything from burgers to onion rings to footlong hot dogs called “Coneys.” They have all kinds of ice cream treats as well as crazy drink combinations. All I wanted yesterday was a big iced tea, so I went through the drive-thru.
An older woman was placing an order when I got there and I waited, surely she would be finished soon. Nope. Now, regulars know to pull into a stall to order anything more than a drink or iced cream. The woman in front of me pulled up to the window and after five minutes, 5 bags and drinks were handed to her. When I pulled up to the window, the Sonic employee said “she’s never been to a Sonic before and called each grandchild to see what they wanted while in line.” I laughed. People, don’t do that.
I brought myself and my tea to the high school for a meeting. Our high school is so large there are multiple bells for different grades to change classes. It is utterly insane. the secretary gave me my visitor’s name tag and told me to wait for the halls to thin out before heading to ONE OF the 9th grade offices the called “houses,” like Hogwarts, as my friend Dana said. This is homecoming week and each day has a dress up theme. Yesterday was “meme day.” I saw lots of wackiness I didn’t understand, but my favorite was seeing all the Kermit the Frogs. This would include my daughter’s assistant principal — dressed as Kermit in our meeting.
Sending that out to all the teachers who have to deal with a couple of my children. I have three, but sometimes it feels 7. Sometimes it feels like I have a dozen jammed printers or balloons with faces drawn on them.
In other news, I have new glasses. They look like this.
That’s my face if you’re new to the Kerry Blog. I’m Kerry, it’s nice to virtually meet you.
Random stuff;
My dog ate one of my new shoes today.
Randall from This is Us I’m in Black Panther. MIND BLOWN.
I’m taking on a new show tonight called New Amsterdam. I may have reached maximum medical drama by adding it to Grey’s Anatomy and The Resident. The good news is I’m practically a third year resident. If you’re a medical professional, that was a joke.
I’ve been watching VEEP, which stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the Vice President, who is the best. If I’ve gotten nothing else from this show, I’ve learned several different ways to say “fuck you” and “fuck off,” such as “do you like to have sex and travel?” Comedy gold. If you don’t mind a lot of the F word.
And that’s what’s going on so far this week.
Oh, and “twerk” was added to the Scrabble dictionary, so I give you permission to twerk your ass off playing “twerk” in your Scrabble game this weekend.
