Errand Day

[days_unfolding]

Got up at 7 AM. Zara was doing her feline mind-meld trick: FEED ME! Mimi doesn’t show up until I open the can of food. Got to make it worth her while.

Napped. Had lunch. Folded towels. I’m trying to figure out what to do with rags. I think that I’ll put them in a laundry basket and put them in the basement. Put clothes in the dryer.

I’ve been impatiently waiting for my Costco card, but it’s been only five days. Okay.

I forgot to mention that I signed up for sewer and water line insurance. I know that my mom had to spend a fortune when one of her trees grew into the sewer line.

I was waylaid on my way to the shower by Mimi, who wanted pets and lap time. Okay. I exist to serve :)

What could I do with a pressure cooker? Do I need one?

Had my piano lesson. She said, “Okay, you got it” to what I was working on, “but try THIS” and THIS was driving me crazy. That’s actually a compliment. She knows how to push me.

Ran errands. Got the windshield wipers replaced on the Honda. I had some trouble understanding the wiper guy though. Need to go to Costco and get hearing aids. He was asking if I wanted the top-of-the-line wipers. Hell yeah. If I might be driving in rain and snow up to Michigan, you bet that I want the best wipers. I just need to get the car washed before I go. Oh, and there is a TPMS light on. I meant to grab the manual and check what that meant. Tire pressure? Also, the CD player is asking for a code. I’ll bring the car to the Honda dealer.

Got vinegar to wash the fish tank. Got eyeliner and threw in some mascara as long as I was there. Oh, and a can of ice melt for the car.

Realized on my way to Best Buy that I wanted to stop at Lowe’s. Turned around. Got keys made and bought a lockbox. Also bought some windshield wiper fluid and a bucket to use for aquarium water.

Went to Best Buy and picked up the TV. On my way out, I saw a Steak and Shake, and that sounded good. I was thinking that I should DoorDash it when I told myself, “Don’t be stupid; go through the drive-thru.” Turned around again and got the food.

Left most of the stuff in the car so that I could eat before the food gets cold(er). The cats are restless. Ate, fed the cats, and brought the stuff in.

Crap. The new keys don’t work. In an old purse of mine, I found some old keys that were cut, and THEY work.

Amazon has a 55 gallon tank for slightly over $300? Is that for real? Is it any good? PetSmart has $800.

I’m snuggling with Zara, so all’s right with my world. I was going to take a nap, but it’s already 8 PM, so I should just go to sleep soon. After I make an appointment for the Honda.

I’m thinking of staying in my pajamas tomorrow. I have to work, but they probably will let us out early for the holiday.

I've got an appointment for the Honda on Friday.
