I got another text to come over and walk
Quincy this morning so off I went. Today
it was rainy and I needed my raingear and waterproof boots but still, it wasn’t
too bad. Once we got home we dried her
off and I went on my way. I stopped at Starbucks and got my coffee and Lydia’s
chai tea latte. Later in the morning I
got the call I wanted – our contractor got the permit today and will be here
Monday to break ground on our rv garage!
Yaaaaay! I wanted them sooner but I’ll take
Monday! Meanwhile, Lydia had a nail
appointment and I was bored so I took off and ran a few errands. I had come across the owner’s manual for the
spa and contractor info for the garage door from the old house so I put those
in the mail today to the new owners for their files. I have a watch I need repaired so I went in
search of a place who could do that. The
local jewelers couldn’t. My next stop
was Habitat for Humanity in Albany. I
was looking for materials to build a hanging storage unit in the shop. I found everything I needed for less than $9!
Next stop was Fred Meyer jewelers but they were too busy to help me so I
bailed. It was raining on my stuff in the truck so I gave up and headed home.
Once I got everything unloaded, I came in and rested for a while. Then I called USAA to check on the progress
of getting our registration for the motorhome transitioned. If you remember from before, I already had gotten
the three vehicles registered in Oregon with no issues, but since we owe USAA
on the motorhome, the Oregon DMV requires that the lienholder provide the
current Calif. pink slip to them and they make a new Oregon pink slip and then
will send back to USAA. It’s unique to
Oregon and Kansas and very confusing and time consuming. USAA has a request to the Calif. DMV for the
original and knowing how fast the Calif. DMV is, it looks like that will take some
time! But the fees have been paid and I
can show proof if someone questions the outdated Calif. tags. Plus, the motorhome isn’t going anywhere for
a while so we’re good. But still a long
dumbass process! Lydia got back and did some work around the house before
trying out the panini grill I got her for Christmas. We made steak sandwich paninis with gouda
cheese which were really gooda! While we
were eating, we watched several episodes of Guy’s Grocery Games, which we are
really behind on and then Better Late Than Never before calling it a
night.
Wednesday, January 24th, 2018…… Today
Penny texted me that she was feeling better and was coming over here to walk
Quincy. I met her outside at the back of
our property and walked a bit with her.
No rains this morning but it’s really squishy out there! Walt had warned us that all of the grass
would be soggy up until April (or whenever the rainy season ends) so don’t plan
on mowing for a while. No complaints
here! After sis left, we fixed scrambled eggs w/ham & mushrooms and had a nice
breakfast. Penny doesn’t have her
appetite during the week after her chemo so it didn’t appeal to her to stay.
Later, we both wanted to get out of the house for a while but never could
figure out where to go or what to do, so we stayed home! I did go out and moved
some things to get ready for the hanging shelf install. I need to get some eye screws but I’ll wait
until tomorrow for that. So our day was
very kicked back.
