As you can imagine, with a household consisting of two ‘officially’ (according to the DMV, anyway) disabled adults who take forever to do most simple tasks, like shop or cook meals, we have pared our schedule down to the barest essentials.

So, of course, today, not quite one full day after Linda received her liberating KneeWalker scooter, we set off for that most essential of the barest essentials: manicures!

It only took 3 hours door-to-door to pull car around to the front, help Linda down steps and path to the car, load her scooter into the back (didn’t fit on first try), make our way down Menlo’s street’s (crawling with recently vigorous traffic enforcement) to Sky Nails, Menlo’s best nail parlor and repeat the process in reverse (with a stop at TJ’s for breakfast yogurt).

Nearby merchant Mark Ghanbari spotted us as we pulled up near his rug gallery, and rushed out with his dog, Chipper to help us get Linda and the scooter out of the car. Great guy, and we love the beatiful rugs he’s sold us over the years.

Sky nails gave us the usual warm welcome, efficiently manicured us, and then, when I mentioned I was having some trouble with a sore toe, plunged me into a pedicure machine and repaired an ingrown toenail. The gimps came home tired but feeling much better…
