Exceedingly Mundane

Today I’ve been a busy bee. Really too busy to blog about what I did and how busy I was, and how much I had on my “to-do” list, and how much of it I didn’t get done (argh, irritates me) and how much of it I did get done. 🙂 The day sure goes by a lot faster though!!

We got up early and went walking this morning. Then, got ready and I followed Tim to the dealership where we dropped off the car for some work. We had gotten two recall type notices in the mail, probably before Christmas, of parts that needed to be replaced that were safety or hazard issues. One was some kind of engine coolant leak and I think the other was a fuel pressure regulator that had to be replaced. I took Tim to work, even though I kept insisting to him that I wasn’t going anywhere and didn’t need a vehicle. I guess he thought I might want to get out later, unplanned. 😛 Anyway, then I got home and had some chores to do. Talked to parental unit on phone, sibling unit on phone. Worked on some stuff on the website, although I didn’t get to but one or two items on my list (I have at least 4 other things I want or need to do on here, as well as other computer work to do). Worked on taxes more, and got things filed and printed and saved. Working on mailing the state return. Not enough refund there to worry about paying the e-file fee! Put some chicken in the crockpot for one of our favorites – garlic and brown sugar chicken. More cleaning, laundry, mopping, etc. Tim called before 4 PM for me to come pick him up and take him back to the dealership. Car was fine, but of course, they “found” several other things that needed to be fixed. No way, not there. We will take the car soon, maybe tomorrow, to have the tires rotated and balanced. Tim purchased some kind of extended plan when we got new tires on the Bonneville last year, where we get free rotation, and maybe free balancing too. Not sure about the balance though, they may try to stick us for that!!

We walked again tonight after we got back from the car stuff. Oh, my aching legs! After the work in the yard on Saturday afternoon, I was already really stiff and sore. Now, we’ve walked 6 miles in 24 hours, so they are feeling it.

We just had supper and I’m about to go and iron his clothes for work (on the list, but didn’t get done earlier, along with approximately 9 other items that will have to wait till tomorrow). Hopefully, I can finish before our round of shows starts at 7 PM. We’ll watch Idol and House tonight, and tape NCIS. We still haven’t watched our tape of 7th Heaven from last night. I voted several times last night for my Idol guy though. We won’t get the results till tomorrow night, which I will have to tape, since I AIN’T missing Lost and Alias 🙂

More later, tonight or tomorrow… hopefully! Still trying to blog some every day, or most every day. Will skip the weekends sooner or later, I’m sure. Anyone out there actually reading these? Yoo-hooooooo, anybody home?!!! 🙄
