Nice Surprise!

I was planning on having a quiet day today. Brian needed to work and we didn’t have anything on our calendar that we needed to do.

Then Brian texted me, asking if I wanted to get my nails done. Well, YEAH! 👍

We went to a place we had visited two months ago, a place named, “K Perfect.” Brian had popped for the full luxury spa treatment for me then, where they did everything except cook dinner for me. I absolutely loved it, but told him that the next time I went, I “just” wanted the already pampering mani-pedi without all the bells and whistles.

Even their ‘regular’ service is wonderful. Since I’m old (😁) they met me at the door while I was leaving my shoes outside and slipping into their slippers. They made sure I got into the chair without falling on my head and two nice young women proceeded to tend to me (one on my feet and the other on my hands.) I pointed out that I had horizontal ‘splits’ on both of my thumbs that might need special attention. They handled these like the pros they are.

Brian keeps trying to get me to choose ‘cian’ gel polish, but manicures and pedicures are such a new thing for me I went with a more conservative color. Maybe next time.

An hour later they were finished. One of the ladies helped me out of the chair after going outside and getting my shoes and bringing them to me! She helped me to the door, then outside onto the porch, then down the two tall steps to the street. Talk about feeling special!

I can’t say enough about this place. I have left a review on Google Maps that will hopefully get others to try them, too. This will be one of my regular places to try to maintain my illusion of being a ‘civilized’ person. 😛

Brian and I went to have some chocolate after, capping off my beautiful morning. What a nice surprise!

Nice Surprise

When I got home from doing our errands and getting my hair cut, I found that my husband had added to the single iris. :0)

Some Days are Like This

We got a return code from Amazon for the printer cartridge package – which meant we had to drive to Ft. Smith to the UPS Store. My husband decided he wanted to take the Vette. We got to Greenwood and the ‘check engine’ light came on. We talked about it, and decided to go back home and regroup.

My husband thought we should just each take a vehicle and we could leave the Vette at the service place in Ft. Smith. I reminded him that we had to have an appointment the last time we needed them to look at things. We called and are now scheduled to take it in next Wednesday morning.

We got into the truck and started out again. Of course the “70% chance of rain” kicked in. We had lots of traffic, pretty heavy rain, road construction, etc., but we got to the UPS Store and left the package with no problem. My husband thinks he ordered the right printer cartridges this time, so hopefully that will soon be a PAST problem.

On the way home, we decided to try the new Waffle House that opened recently in Greenwood. We each had a “hashbrown bowl with sausage, egg and cheese.” It was good, but we decided that the next time we go, we’ll order ONE of those and two bowls. It was too much food and was pretty expensive for a breakfast or lunch for us. Dividing one order should work just fine.

It’s STILL raining two hours after we started out this morning and shows no sign of letting up.

My husband is going to use the diagnostic tool he has for automobiles and see if it will tell us why the Vette is displaying the ‘check engine’ light.

And so the day goes.
