I'm a bubble head

I need some laughter right now so I will admit that I like being in my own little bubble, doing my thing, not venturing out too far from the usual. Minding my own business, toodling again on Facebook and there was the posting from Hades. The sister of a lady that I've known from before university days, announced that the lady is now on hospice. Yup. Hospice. They live across the state from me. I told hubby what I'd read. He said "You'd better go before it's too late." So I guess I will emerge from my bubble. First up: taking the car to Midas to have it looked over. Car sounds normal and boring but driving over a steep mountain pass? Better have the mechanics give it a look see first. The car look see will be on this coming Thursday afternoon. Friday afternoon I will have my backpack loaded up and head out on my five hour drive West. Sweet, green fir trees and traffic and final farewells.

@RebeccasFarm I trust these particular mechanics. Once somebody else told me my catalytic converter had issues. I took the car to this shop and the worker said it was just a loose connection. No charge for finding that out and tightening it.

@sallypup Good people they are Lenore. We are dependent on them to tell the truth to us.

Good luck with that. Hope the car can make the trip. Good idea to have it serviced, first.

It is good of you to go, and yes getting the car checked out first is certainly appropriate.

That is sad that she is in hospice care now. I ventured out of my little private bubble yesterday and again today. Now its time to lock back down until I go for my vaccine later this week and that will be it for a while.

@wolfgirl569 Thanks. The car doesn't sound any different than it did a year ago but I could be tone deaf.
