Wow. Just wow. If Amazon delivered and I could arrange food, I would never leave this place.
Shout-out to ML – who is in the ER with my BIL. Hope all goes smoothly. Love you.
Shout-out to Cathy – New doc. New info. New hope. Please let me know.
My husband was going to drive down to get our mail yesterday and we had a dead battery in the truck. He had decided, unbeknownst to me, to see how long the battery would actually last, rather than changing it out at the 3 year mark at the change of seasons as we usually do. We had trash to drive down, errands to run, and no truck. We could have taken the Vette, but my husband is still a bit challenged on driving and I really didn’t want to try to take the bags of trash down in the Vette.
We put the battery charger on the truck and did other things. After lunch we were able to start the truck, got the trash into the trash can and the can dragged down to the bottom of the driveway, got our mail, and drove into town to get a new battery. I don’t remember more than two batteries back, but the first I remember cost around $70. The one that just died was about $150 and my husband was really angry at the price. The one we bought yesterday was right at $240. The people at the head of our government may be saying that inflation is coming down, but when buying batteries, groceries, or gas, I can’t tell it.
My husband installed the battery in the parking lot at the store. We brought home an engine air filter and a cabin air filter. During the afternoon, he installed both of those. He was really tired after all the work. I monitored his progress, but very quietly. He took a nap before dinner.
My spirits are really being helped by the daffodils blooming and the red bud trees (and tulip tree) blooming now. Every time I go out, no matter what else is happening, I feel a lifting, a brightening, a filling. It’s really nice.
The one tree image above is the best display, but there are other, smaller trees around the yard that pick up the color. It’s nice to be able to let your eyes travel from one to the next.
I am making progress adding data to my Password Safe program. I’m having trouble adding ‘group names,’ such as ‘financial,’ but finally manage it or give up for the night, as I did last night. I WILL get my information in there, but I wish it weren’t such a fight…
I hope the day ahead is a good one for you.
