What Are You Doing Today?

[Krystal Shay]

I'm been out already this morning running a few errands and picking up sundries, since this will be the last warm day for awhile. Cold weather is moving in tonight. It should warm up some next week again though.

I'm also doing some laundry and ironing today.

I had big plans to get some cleaning done since I'll be milking the cataract surgery recovery for as long as possible starting tomorrow. Of course here I sit in my recliner with a cup of coffee. Gotta get the important stuff done first.

Getting ready to head over to the hospital to see my lady friend. She went to the ER yesterday with breathing issues and not being totally responsive. They are doing an MRI of her brain this morning. Not sure of the science behind that, but not my call.

Earlier went to Walmart and bought new windshield wiper blades. They are now installed, so that's my accomplishment for this Wednesday.

Before I get into my vast list of activities of today, I have a question. When did everything become 'perfect' I go to the CU and the teller says 'perfect' to whatever I say. I'd like to pay off my bank credit card. Perfect. I'd like to cash some checks, Perfect.
Today I called to see if a dealership could make and program a duplicate key fob. Do I have the vin #? Why yes, I do. "Perfect."
In old movies the waiter would say excellent choice no matter what it was. The butler might say 'very good, sir'. I like "As you wish" from Princess Bride better.
So far, after chores, I made an appointment to have my carpets cleaned after the last company made a mess of them.
I sent a bill back that definitely was not ours.
I am waiting to see if the car dealership can make me a key.
I am continuing on the quest for things to clean and get rid of...

This evening, around 5PM, we will be visiting our apartment complex office to celebrate Veteran's Day. They will have a specially decorated cupcake and a little gift bag for any Veterans that show up. Personally, we have never met any former military here at all, but management has stated, in an e-mail, that there are two maintenance men here that are Veterans. One thing we DO know, neither would be Vietnam Era types.

Then, after that, we head over to Applebee's for their Appreciation Dinner for me and my wife will have soup.

It's better than "Appreciate you."

I finally got off my butt and disconnected the flu from my wood stove and cleaned out the soot deposits that lay there with the shop vac. I put a bag on the end of the flu, got on the roof, and ran a brush through it. I had 2-3 times the amount of gunk come out of the flu than I've ever had before. I think it's because last year was so darned cold I burned way more wood than I usually do. I'll have to adjust my "Every 3 Years" schedule to "Every 2 Years." Then I mowed my acreage, probably for the final time this year. Tonight I'll run a few tiny fires though the soapstone stove to season it (drive out the humidity) before I build my first real fire of the year in it. I do that every year, just to be on the safe side.

I didn't do much with the wood stove yet, mostly because our new cat took to hiding in the bottom of it. I think that is over with. So I told the kids we were going to move the wood from the potting shed. Daughter number three said we did not have to because there was a wheel barrow full in the garage.
Uhmmmmm might need more than that.

Or "awesome."

Old age has unexpected benefits. Medicare picks up the tab for what I call bump removal. Beats paying at a salon. I will not be seen in public for a day or two. A thank you card and spiced almonds for the scheduler turned into an office affair Doc told me she had to leave two almonds for her husband as she texted him. Well, there will be care packages when SO goes next week. Good dermatologists are like hen’s teeth.

In house freezer is clean and restocked. My drawers (pull outs behind cabinet doors floor to ceiling) look like a store display including purses stuffed with paper and in their respective bags. Now daily stretches. Then the paper drawer. One a day

OK, so I bought hubby the new 2010 Lexus RX and he does not hit his head when he gets in. It came with only one key fob. Which is good till somebody misplaces it. Rumor was that we had to go to a Lexus dealer, not a Toyota dealer which is close by. Horror stories about people having to have cars towed to a dealership if they lost it...
I looked on line and a couple of places said they could make up the key fob.--fairy tales. The one that actually said it could said they did not have one in stock and their supplier didn't either.
So I started calling dealers who have sold the cars in the last year. (I was looking) The last one said some Batteries Plus and Ace Hardware can do them.
?????
I called Batteries Plus and they said they would have one by next Wednesday. We will see. I ran into some creepy AI voices in my phone quests today. I am liking technology less and less.

I was on another forum a day or two ago regarding someone having a bad Mazda fob, and lots of people recommended Batteries Plus. Years ago I had to get new fobs from my 2005 GMC truck and a regular old repair shop programmed them for me.
