The alarm, which Husband said he set for 7:30, didn't go off, or maybe Fio slept through it. Anyway, she awoke at 8:00. when she had a doctor's appointment forty-five minutes away in Austin at 9:25. By 8:30, she was semi-ready, morning pills in a plastic bag to take with water at the doctor's office after she ate a breakfast of graham crackers in the car.
But her car wouldn't start. The battery was dead. And no one else in the house was awake. And, although it didn't matter, her cell phone was also dead.
She trailed back inside and called the doctor's office to tell the medical minion who managed appointments that God had ordained she not come in this morning.
To top it off, despite two calls to the Statesman, the newspaper is STILL not making it past the mailbox and down the drive. And Fio, who is cane-bound, can't even drive up to get it.
