I was on a roll with my writing tonight. Then I got a call from my son. His car's broken down in Stillwater (25 miles from here). I'm going to go get him, but please keep your fingers crossed. I am not a very good nighttime driver. But I have my phone and my Triple A card. Let's hope I get there and back before the DH gets home from work.

*sorry Bilbo, you'll have to wait until tomorrow*

ETA: "Well, I'm back."

Glad that you made it back o.k. I know what you mean about not liking to drive after dark--I avoid it whenever possible.

Good luck with the drive. I hope your son's car is fixable.

It's frustrating to have to quit writing when you're in such a good place.

*hugs*

I am sure Bilbo is patient. ;)

I hope the car will be fixed soon and that it won't be expensive.

I'm glad you made it back, Samwise.

Glad you made it safely - I actually love night driving so long as I am not tired.

Yeah well......I don't like to admit it but that is a problem I suffer with too. *pokes you on Bilbo's behalf*

oh dear! I'm so glad you made it! I don't like night driving myself anymore, so I understand! (I have to do a 2-hour drive in the middle of the night next Thursday/Friday to catch an early flight, and am NOT looking forward to that!)

I was on a roll with my writing tonight.

I'll say! *grins* The DM and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Bilbo's response this morning. The DM's itching to reply, but I have to rein him in, thanks to my need to continue this clinical study report over the weekend (lunch break now). I hope to upload the latest chapter on MPTT midweek.

Then I got a call from my son.

It's amazing how we rescue our young adult offspring! I've done the same for [livejournal.com profile] rampagingfrodo on occasion. Speaking of whom, the young man asked me if I wanted to go to King Richard's Faire next weekend with him and two friends. I was tickled that he asked, but had to decline due to a pending visit from a longtime friend of mine who arrives Friday night.

I hear you on driving at night. I'm not sure what to think of my night vision. I wouldn't call it bad per se, but I feel less confident somehow driving at night, especially in rain or snow. If I'm driving in familiar territory, I'm fine, but I'm tense when driving at night on unfamiliar streets and roads.

Mr B. Baggins, Esq. can be quite insistent, can't he?

After editing and picking over words and numbers and tables for 4 hours straight this afternoon, I sat down with a cold Diet Coke and uploaded our latest chapter. I needed the diversion. :^)

Back to pharmacodynamic assessments...

Glad you travelled safely!

Oh, dear. I'm sorry about your son's car. But glad to know you got home okay. I hate driving at night.

He should get AAA as well or if he's still living with you add him to your membership. We added our daughter when she started driving. It gives a lot of peace of mind.
