My coworker Debbie is VERY pregnant and could give birth at any minute now. Her husband (the one who helped me move into this apartment) doesn’t want her driving, and that makes perfect sense. He took her to work this morning, but by 9:45, she was starting to have some pains. I drove her home.
About 2:00 this afternoon, I put out an e-mail to my department with a subject line of “It’s a boy!” When you opened the e-mail, it said “Just kidding. No baby yet!” It was a mean but fun prank. Seriously, I expect this baby to happen at any time now.
When I got home, there were a few goodies in my mailbox. I bought a new pair of 7/8” silicone eyelets for my ears. They’re still a bit big, but since they’re silicone, they’re comfortable. Anyway, my ears will be at 7/8” before too long. But I don’t plan on going a whole lot bigger than that.
I also got my new EZPass transponder. I’ve had one for about three years, and it was issued by the PA Turnpike Commission. Well, since I’m going to be moving to East Boston, I’ll qualify for a discount on certain tunnels, but it requires I get a transponder issued by MassPike. So that’s one less thing I’ll have to worry about down the road.
