Roads and Roombas

So we are still waiting for Liam to make his arrival, but at least the gods are conspiring to make it an interesting wait. As I often say about the events that seem to happen in my life, you can't make this stuff up. So far today we've had one minor incident and one hilarious Roomba occurrence. For the minor incident, it turns out the the pothole Thomas hit earlier in the week didn't throw a weight off his tire, but instead actually bent two of his tires. Fortunately, insurance will cover all but the deductible, but not before we paid Volkswagen $100 to take the car apart and figure out what the problem is. Oh well, it all works out better than us having to cover the repairs out of pocket and is only a slight inconvenience to be down a car since I'm really not going anywhere these days. This incident isn't exactly amusing, but it does take one's thoughts off of the waiting...now for the other thing...now that was funny.

In terms of the Roomba, let's just say I'm glad the discovery was Thomas' and not mine. As we often do when we leave the house, Thomas kicked on Roomba to go forth and conquer the collie hair that's covering the floors. However, after we left, Daytona also had an accident (of the solid variety) on the kitchen floor. Since the Roomba is trained to sweep almost the entire first floor of the house, Roomba sweeps the kitchen, too. Let's just say that Thomas called and said there were Roomba "tracks" throughout the entire kitchen...and later he gets to take apart the entire Roomba and clean it piece by piece. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

The next appointment is on Tuesday...until then, I'll just sit back, relax and see what else is in store for me in the entertainment department. :)
