Tomorrow I have my DMV driving test, because of my eyes. I'm nervous and though I know I drive fine, it's like when you see a police car and feel like you're about to get arrested, though you aren't actually guilty of anything. I imagine a car around me doing something sudden and crazy and me doing the wrong thing, or not looking long and carefully enough, or not being able to merge into the lane on the freeway. There are so many ways it could go wrong. I need a tranquillizer! On the other hand, they absolutely should test me, and I am not the best judge of my driving. Oh, heck, I'm just going to have to make the through the test and survive either way! I have to remember not to hit another car or pedestrian or bicyclist - and where I live that's a daily challenge.
My friend called last night and said her son and his wife are expecting their second child. That was really great news, and I'm so happy for her and them. They are fabulous parents and it will be adorable to be a witness again to their wise and gentle treatment of their children. And it is so fun to be a kind of distant Auntie to the kids. Happy news being shared is one of the great perks of friendships.
