We had a light rain move in last night shortly before I headed to bed. It picked up soon after. I put my ear plugs in so it would not keep me awake. I woke up at 4:15 and it was still raining. I forgot to put water in the Brita pitcher last night, so I had to wait for it to flow through before I could turn the coffeepot on.
I read blog posts this morning, then went through my emails and cleaned things up a bit. I've trying to stay on top of this each month.
We are taking the truck to Parsons this morning to have the oil changed and for some routine work. The appointment is 9:00 at the Chevrolet dealership. Dean left about 8:15 in the truck and I followed a short time later in the car. They told him it would take a minimum of 2.5 hours to do the work. He doesn't want to sit in a waiting room, so we returned to Oswego. We have things we can do in the mean time.
Since Walmart is right across the road from Chevrolet, I hoped it might not be too busy so I could pick up a couple of things - mainly some type of hand soap. What we purchased at Walgreen's in NM has been very harsh on my hands. It's not bothering Dean, but after only three full days my fingers are peeling and sore. I started using my shampoo last night and it feels a little better today. When we drove by Walmart, I could see it was too busy for me so I'll just use the shampoo until I can find something different.
When we returned to Oswego, I noticed the parking lot at the grocery store was practically empty. I dropped Dean off at Bentley, then I drove back to the store. Fortunately, they had a few bottles of hand soap left so I bought one, plus a large bag of frozen strawberries and juice. I had not been able to get either of the last two items during prior store visits so I was fortunate to pick up the last few items we needed. I think we are good for at least a week or more now.
A little after noon, Dean called to see if the truck was ready yet. They said it would be later in the day before it's done. They will call us. Evidently they forgot to order a filter and they were waiting for it to be delivered sometime after lunch.
I haven't done anything constructive at home today and I'm not sure I will. It's a beautiful afternoon - we should be walking. Dean is outside working on the grill. The last couple of times he used it, it was not heating up like it should. While it finally got hot enough, he wanted to take a look at it before we use it again. Evidently this will be my lazy day. Dean has things he wants to do at the garage tomorrow so I'll get back to my list. It's okay to rest for a day, right?
It was sometime after 2 when Chevrolet called to say the truck was ready. I drove the car back to Parsons and dropped Dean off. He is going to take the truck to a car wash before heading home. I didn't do anything the rest of the afternoon but look at my phone - playing a game, reading Facebook, looking at Pinterest, and talking to my sister.
When Dean returned he finished working on the grill, cleaning it well and it is now working fine. At 5 I warmed up leftovers from Sunday evening, did the dishes and now I'm finishing this up for the evening.
It looks like we might have a good sunset...and here it is!
I made some chocolate chip cookies last night. I bought a carton of ice cream a few days ago when I was at the store. We have a cookie each left tonight and plenty of ice cream to go with it. Yum!
Good night!
Nice to have days with nothing that has to be done. Enjoy:))
