Joe's New Blog

Nothing special, this is just my third effort at writing a blog about my life and what goes on in it: Hobbies, cooking, work, maybe the occasional book or DVD review, and so forth. Nothing really noteworthy, but this is sort of a little subset of my world...

Going to be a busy couple of days...

This morning, the girlfriend called the dealership where she bought her car.  They said the 7500 mile service, which she's supposed to get done soon, just consists of an oil change and tire rotation.  She's just going to get those things done at her own dealership, so I don't have to drive down to Irving today.  That's a good thing, because I'm quite sure that I would have wound up getting lost along the way.  On the other hand, that also means that I'm not going to be stopping by Half-Price Books to sell off the rest of the books.  I don't think I'm going to have the time to do so this week, so I guess I'll do that the first day or so after we get back.  I don't think we're going to be that short on money where we'll need it during the trip anyway, so I'm not going to stress about it.

I have some laundry in the washer now, and I've picked up some more stuff in the upstairs room.  It's getting near the point where there's not going to be a whole lot more that I can do up there, but it's not quite to that point yet.  It'll definitely be done by the end of the day today, though.  Maybe not so clean that the girlfriend is going to consider it really clean, but I think it'll be fine for having her brother feed the cat and clean her litter box and such while we're gone.  I'll give it a good vacuuming, and I need to clean up her food and water area somewhat before we leave.  That might all be stuff for tomorrow, though, because I also need to clean the bathroom upstairs sometime today.

I want to bake some cinnamon rolls and some bread for the trip today, but I don't know if I'll have time to do both of those things.  I also need to go across the street and see if I can get the insurance agency to fax off proof of insurance to the car finance company before they decide to repossess my car.  They sent me a threatening little letter the other day, so I should probably get on that.  Especially since I actually do have the insurance, and just haven't sent them the proof of it.  Idiot procrastinator...
 
And somewhere in the course of the day, I need to get up there to Recycled and see what they'll buy out of the latest collection of offerings.  Hopefully I'll make enough money to be able to buy a couple of little souvenirs while we're out there in places I've not yet been.  I'm going to try to send off a few postcards to Mom and Irene while I'm out there in the world, and maybe a few to some of the folks back at KSD.  We'll see.  I have a bunch of old first-class stamps, which are now probably about a dime less than what I need to send a letter.  So I might as well use them for postcards...
 
Anyway, I guess I'd best get myself motivated and start at least doing something useful with myself...
