Cold Molasses

Kendra is slow. Like, really slow. Sometimes her movements look like
she is doused in molasses. Cold molasses. It is sometimes barely
visible to the naked eye. Scientists have been working on a time lapse
system to capture some of her more subtle motions.



As an example, this morning we rode to work together. I will skip
forward to when we actually got outside the house due to my own time
limitations in recording this now. I lock up and walk outside where
Kendra is standing outside of the car holding one of her shoes (the
other is on the ground), her apple juice is on the truck, she is
holding a couple other things - though I can't recall exactly what now
- let's say a helper monkey. Though we should get our money back for
that damn monkey. Not very helpful at all. Where was I? Oh yeah, so
she's outside, which is totally a giant move in the right direction. As
I was getting in the car I realized I had left my debit card in the
house. So I go unlock the door, go in the bedroom, look around for the
card, locate it, head back outside, lock the door again and head back
to the car. And there is Kik. Stil in the exact same locate with the
shoes still not on, apple juice on the truck, helper monkey, etc.



I am skipping again to us actually pulling out of the driveway - again
to save some of my time and some of yours. So we are driving -WOO!
Kik's shoes still aren't on her feet. Somehow she managed to get one
on, but the other one was quite a feat. I just kept hearing..."Baby, I
can't get my shoe on while your turning," or "Baby, I can't get my shoe
on while you are talking," or "Baby, I can't get my shoe on while you
are making me laugh." You get the idea. Oh, did I mention that her
car's cup holders were full of stuff and I was holding that apple juice
from the trunk while she put on her shoe? Yeah, well, I was.



I love that girl but GOOD GOD she is slow.
