XYZ is here, but I won't be staying...

[XYZ]

3 points for me. I may still be down by a million, with seconds to go in the fourth quarter, but I got 3 points tonight--and that always feels good.

On Monday's I pick up the kids and drop them off at W's. Normally she'd be home already. Got TM "running late will be there shortly, sorry", I reply "I get how it can be. No problem". Her about 15 minutes later: "Thanks for that. Almost there." (BTW, me bitching about her work was always one of our "things"). Point 1.

When she gets there, she asks me if I can show her how to press the reset button on the garbage disposal. Sure. I do, but no workie - it's jammed. I get under the sink, pop it off, 15 minutes later works like new - very Manly of me! Her, "thank you for fixing that". Point 2.

As soon as it's fixed, I'm taking off. No need to hang out, got places to go (and I really do!). But first, "hey mind if I grab my hiking boots from upstairs before I go?" - Her: "no problem". VERY mysterious of me! (and I am, for real, going hiking this weekend - no games here). Point 3.

I hug and kiss kids, say "later" to W and take off without hanging around. Whole time-frame maybe 25 minutes from the time she walked in. Now if I could just score 3 points EVERY 25 minutes, I'd be home by lunchtime tomorrow! lol... Not holding my breath, one point at a time.
