“Oh Chucky…Where are my Eye Drops?”
Contrary to
popular belief, not all NOWAT are about shoes, the quest for, or even joyous
acquisition thereof. We'll mostly not all.
The day
started like most other days with Dragon Chic bounding with joy from bed to
shower while Chucky played hug-a-bed with another neck cramp. Just a
normal day except… from the bathroom comes the nervous question noted above.
“Which
ones?” HE grumbles while trying not to
roll out of a warm, cozy, just right spot.
“The ones
Dr. Z gave me for the crusty eye,” SHE
calls out through the steam.
“All gone.
Uhh… Crusty eye – not again?” now
fully awake he manages to find the floor, right where he left it the night
before.
“Well,
just a little. It’s been off and on for the past couple days.”
“Let’s not
let this get out of hand again, we’re just a couple weeks from our trip,” he mumbles, “I'll call Dr Z,” as he heads
for the phone.
Yeah… just a
little of the usual pre-trip drama. But not about shoes… yet.
HE manages
to score a 3pm appointment with their Ophthalmologist and Chucky’s former Golf
buddy Dr Harvey Zalaznick [hence “Dr. Z”] which was intended to supplant their
annual November exam along with a treatment for her present “condition”. But…
Dr. Z finds that it’s just a repeat of the last pre-trip stress related
blepharitis and sends them packing with an Rx for THE Eye Drops, with orders to
come back in November like they're supposed to.
Now, of
course, being in Aventura, and right next door to, Taa-Daa:
DSW
what else
could they do but make another stab at. “Left foot- Right Foot- Up and
Down the Aisle”, for her of course, he’s been set for months.
Surprisingly
however, SHE vetoes DSW in favor of a trip up the road to the Aventura Mall,
which she claims will have more options for travel togs, additional metatarsal
sheaths and just plain What to Wear – There… and elsewhere.
Dropping the
car at “Aventura’s Finest Carwash” beats trolling for a parking spot at the busier than usual mall, and they head into Macy’s where
wonder of wonders…
SHE manages
to stock up on enough “Que Cute” blouses and “Oh So Cool Capris” in record
time which will surely make the Packing Ballet even more fun than usual.
Seriously, when this chic sets her mind to it – SHE CAN SHOP!
And of
course you just know there had to be the brief, but necessary visit to
the shoe department which almost netted
another “Great Pair” when she abruptly announces…
She’s good
to go with what she already has.
This
revelation of course has Chucky frantically checking her pulse and temperature
to make sure she isn’t coming down with something else ‘cause… this was Waaayyy
TOO easy.
After a
leisurely dinner at Rosalia’s [their favorite Italian spot in the mall] it was
off to spend 40 minutes in traffic to pick up the Rx for THE Drops, and head
home for coffee and a little TV for her.
HE of course
found it necessary to record this day’s events for your amusement, or maybe
just his, because, well, just because he can, as he enjoyed a little of Mr.
Dewar’s fine craftsmanship.
Tomorrow
He’ll get around to confirming the private tours and related transportation as
well as transports in Venice – to and from the apartment, the Cruise port and
back to the Airport at the end of the cruise.
Oh, And a
quick Thanks for all the many encouraging comments, as well as offers to carry
her bags {that job is well in hand, thank you very much}. Maybe next time YOU too can get coaxed by the Tempelshifs into coming along.
