The Day After Yesterday
Don’t worry. This is not a political post. It’s mostly just something light and humorous, well I guess you’ll be the judge of that. I happen to find it funny.
I woke up this morning feeling a little numb, indifferent, serious and perplexed. I know I get this look on my face when I’m deep in thought about something. I can almost feel my face stiffen. Let’s just say, I had the stiff look going on for most of the morning.
I tried to unpack some of my thoughts with my friend over coffee, but still left feeling contemplative. There’s a lot to unpack from the last 24 hours.
My phone dinged to let me know that I needed to pick my youngest up early from school for a dentist appointment. I was running late, so I decided to use voice commands with Siri, while driving. Here’s where my day began to pick up.
Me: Siri, text Izzy.
Siri: Facetime with Dr. Micah?
Me: NO WAY! (as I click my home button frantically.) Can you imagine me face timing with my doctor while driving around town?
Me: Siri, text Izzy.
Siri: Call Izzy Two Hearts?
Me: What the heck? Izzy Two Hearts? No, No, NO! I then remembered that Izzy added the two pink hearts emoji to her contact in my phone, but calling Izzy during her Spanish class, hearts or not, well you can imagine how that would go over.
Me: Siri, text Izzy
Siri: Play music by Katy Perry?
Me: Are you kidding me? NO! STOP!
And then this: “I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire. ‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar. Louder, louder than a lion.”
Yep, pretty much. I was yelling into my phone. And believe me, I was yelling louder than a lion. My arms may have been flailing by this time. I could not get the music to stop. For the love. How can she not understand such a simple command?
And then I realized I was at my destination. Sitting in the school parking lot. All that, just to let Izzy know I was on my way. I started laughing. I mean what else can you do?
Sometimes you have to laugh at poor, computerized Siri. Sometimes you have to laugh when life gets too serious. And sometimes, you just have to laugh at yesterday. Today will have enough troubles.
Thank you!
I had an EXTRA LAUGH…..I was reading your blog to Jack as we were driving to work (multi-tasking never goes away😣). We were enjoying a good chuckle when I got near the end and I apparently put a little too much emphasis in my reading out loud and out of the blue SIRI opens on my phone asking what she can do for me. Freaked out for a nano-second until I realized I had summoned her. Good way to start the day with a laugh though!
Too funny. And a little freaky. 🙂
