Jet lag

Went out to the curbside pickup to wait for my ride home from the airport. An outback pulled right up in front of me. The right color for Eric's car. Glanced in the driver's seat, saw a tall man w/a mustache. Ok, jet lag is starting to set in already but I was sure it was Steve....opened the back door and started to put in my luggage while greeting Steve. The guy said, "sorry, I'm here to pick up someone else. Took a good look at that point and it was NOT Steve. Yep, that was embarrassing!

Eric came about 10 minutes later. He had to come from Alto to pick me up, Steve called him as "there weren't any other working cars." Eric wouldn't tell me what was going on with the Montana (I knew Steve was working on the TranSport.)

We got home and only one car. Steve starts in on this story about having been in a wreck, and the Montana was at the junkyard. The other guy wasn't insured so the insurance might never have been settled. Clue one - Michigan has no fault insurance, it shouldn't have mattered if the other guy didn't have any. Clue two - he had just the slightest hint of that funny look he gets when he's trying to pull one over. Clue three - he said all my stuff was still in it. Steve Cooper does not leave stuff in cars when he has to leave them somewhere. Some of this should have clicked. But as I said, jet lag had already set in.

To make a long story (and late April Fools joke) short, they had hidden the Montana around the back of the house and concocted the whole story. Cruel to do to someone as tired as I was, eh?

I still stayed up until about 11 p.m. home time. Then I woke up about 6 a.m. home time. I was ok most of the day, spent time unpacking, and sorting through things. Hit a wall about 4 p.m. where I just wanted to sleep but forced myself to stay awake. Going to bed after posting. Hope not to be so sleepy tomorrow.

We are supposed to get 2-4 inches of SNOW tomorrow night into Monday morning. What happened to Spring? I even have crocuses coming up here at home.
