The Wait

The phone. I am beginning to hate it at times. As much as it can be helpful, it can also be annoying. When it rings several times in the morning I get annoyed. I am a person who needs to get her 10 hours of sleep at night and wake up slowly. I really can't wrap my head around anything until lunch. So today Gertrud called me twice before 11am. I realize that she was excited about her new scooter arriving, but I just wasn't feeling well and it was looking like rain. My visit to her house will have to wait until I feel better. I hope she gets to try it out soon and that the sidewalks stay dry for a few more weeks so that she can get out on it and get used to riding it. Today though she said that she needed to work up the courage to try it out. I had the feeling that she wanted me to come by so that I would go out with her giving it a try. Well, by the time I could have visited it was pouring outside anyhow, so now she will just have to look at it longingly and lovingly until the rain stops......Hopefully not till next spring.
