Finally got nearly everything, including dinner, done.
A couple of guys posted pictures on Facebook from the '02 tornado and I've been looking at them and being thankful that while a lot of the town was torn up, the tornado missed the elementary school and the hospital.

I'm going to head out, perform the blood sacrifice (check my glucose  Grin) and go to bed. It's been a long but productive day and my knees hurt which is nothing new but I hope being off my feet for a few hours will help.

Everyone sleep well, be safe and STAY HEALTHY!!!!  Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon.
Morning errands are done.
Afternoon chores to start shortly.

Had a run in with a jerk who claimed we'd put a dent in his Highlander. There was NO dent which Skywise proved. The guy said he "felt the hit" so we know he was lying. He was trying to look into the van without being obvious about it after we went inside but it was locked and I was watching him from inside the McDonald's. He finally pulled out. I hope the next person he tries to hustle is as smart as Skywise.

Top item on the "To Do" list is done. The van has been delivered to the shop. Among other things, it needs shocks which was obvious to me every time I put on the brakes while driving it over. Smiley So we are down our "daily driver" for a while. Fortunately, what I need to get in the next few days will fit in Skywise's "Dinkmobile".

Took a nap which helped my nerves and most of my pains.
Pizza dough is rising. It should be ready to do something with soon. Since Skywise is home, we'll be eating early..

Just ordered some "decorative" stuff for the scrapbook project. There was a price reduction and I saved over $32 on the order. Yes, I'm pleased about that and my "impulse control"!

Just mailed off the requested image to the vendor. Now I wait for the "proof".



The proof has arrived. IT. IS. GORGEOUS! I want Skywise to see it before I reply but it's more beautiful than anything I could do.


This order is ready to ship. Since it's Sunday where the vendor is I don't expect it to start moving until Monday. I'll be -- metaphorically speaking -- perched on the mailbox (like that old Snoopy pose) until it arrives. This is what the proof looks like.


The order was shipped from Newfoundland on the 15th as "Expedited International Mail". Today, it made it to Montreal. I "should" have it Thursday. If that is "Expedited", I'd hate like hell to see "Regular".
Canada Mail has NOT impressed me....

Went into town for a very late lunch.
Then we went to Walmart to find out why they kept calling us yesterday. Turns out that it was time to refill my metformin. We told them to fill it and we shopped while we waited.
Picked up a few small things and meat for dinner so I won't have to thaw anything.

Finally got the dishwasher working. I'm going to have to run cleaner through it every other week -- every two weeks at most -- to keep it running right. I'm going to start running it every day or so rather than waiting until I have a full load. It's probably a bit wasteful but using it oftener will help keep it clean. AND I won't have a sink full of dishes to wash every time I turn around!

Found yet another book that I'll need to get. *sigh* So much to read, so little time.

Anyway, it's late and I'm heading out.

Morning.
I really, REALLY miss Towne View auto shop. Cry
Skywise called the shop that has the van. We dropped it off on Monday afternoon. They were scheduled to start work yesterday. As of when Skywise called them this morning, they hadn't started on it yet. Smiley NOT HAPPY!!!
We may have to start using the dealership even if it does cost more just to have the work done promptly. *sigh* Vacation activities -- and some normal activities -- are on hold until we get the van back as if Covid-19 wasn't enough to screw things up.....

Went into town to check on the van. More work than previously thought will be needed. *sigh* It "might" be ready tomorrow if the parts get there in time.
The absolutely last load of laundry is in the washer. Smiley
Now up. Dishes.

Dishwasher running. I decided to wait until after dinner -- which was KFC -- before doing the dishes.
Spirit decided to take a bath just as I finished loading the machine. I hope there's enough hot water to do both.

I am a wreck.
I walked more today without being able to sit down since my knee injections wore off.
My knees ache. So does my neck, shoulders, elbows and lower back.
Skywise and the girls have decided to get Gatti's for dinner.
Their place in Heaven is assured.

In other news, the van "should" be ready tomorrow...  Smiley

Thinking about crying. Cry
Repairing our oven may not be possible.
Replacing it is too expensive.
I may be stuck using a countertop electric oven for the rest of my life....  Cry

SmileyMy patches are in Indianapolis. FINALLY!!! Barring something unforeseen, they should be here tomorrow.
Something is finally going right. We might even get the van back tomorrow and be able to enjoy our vacation.. or as much as we can with so much closed/cancelled.

Morning.
Still waiting on the van.  Smiley Hopefully, they'll get it finished today before they close for the weekend.....
My patch order is "out for delivery".  Smiley At least one good thing will happen today.
This "vacation" is turning out to be a dress rehearsal for retirement.
