Kind of a Frustrating Day

[days_unfolding]

Well, the electronics recycling was a bust. I waited a half-hour in a line of cars only to hear that they were full up, but "they're going to have another one soon". Bah. One person said that a computer place in town will take flat-screen monitors, so I need to check it out.

Attempted to drop off an old router at Goodwill, but no one came out, and there were piles of stuff by the door. The router would get ruined if it got wet, so I took it back with me. Sigh.

Got the car's oil changed and the fluids checked. They also replaced an air filter. However, the Check Engine light is still on. (Does it need to be turned off?) So now I'm not sure what to do. The forecasters are saying storms from 4 to 6 PM, so maybe I'll take a nap and see how the weather looks while I get up.

Had a nice nap. The weather looks dark and iffy, although it's not raining. I'm going to postpone the trip to Normal. Had a bite to eat and fed the hordes.

Mom called. The doctor took a week to get back to my aunt, but her tumor is a good candidate for hormone therapy, which is good news. Mom, however, is going nuts and wants to leave. She's hoping to leave this week. She might stop by in here way out to see me.

Ran to the grocery store for milk and munchies. It started raining finally.

I'm falling asleep at the kitchen table, so it's time for bed.

Oh crud! I forgot to look for a replacement light bulb for my fridge.
