what a busy day…

this morning I was picked up and dropped off downtown at my dentist‘s office for a cleaning… I was early so I walked around a bit and got a few photos of the golden guy…

been a really long time since I was downtown…

from there we went to Superstore where I found a few dishes and a little Tradescantia Nanouk…

then I drove home, emptied out the car, and took Indi to get a bath…

seemed as though most of the city decided to do the same thing, lol… got there at 12:11, into the wash at 12:32 and was out by 12:51… I walked outside while the car was inside…

back home, had lunch, and then drove to an appointment… from there it was back to Superstore to collect my grandson and return home…

a lot of driving and it was fun to be behind the wheel…

but now I am tired, lol…

dirty…

I started this post many weeks ago after Indi had a second bath in just over a week… that was all before the world came to a grinding halt…

after the first bath, she spent a few days with my grandson and I’m not sure what happened, but when I got back into her she was so dirty I couldn’t see out the windows, lol…

she looked beautiful afterwards and I anticipated that the mucky weather would get her dirtied up fairly quickly…

I haven’t been out of the house for 43 days so she’s been hunkered down in the garage although a few weeks ago I did move her onto the driveway for a short time as I cooked steak on the grill…

today I was reminded by Facebook, and an email from Nelson at Birchwood Toyota, that it is her second birthday;-)…

bath, beloved, big girl pants, bugs, car wash, credit union, errands, eTransfer, Indi, insurance, shopping, widow

this morning I ran a number of errands…

paid for my house insurance… it had been in both our names, but after my beloved died and they changed it to my name only, the birthdate was still his… cost me more money when I advised that I wasn’t that age, lol…

also changed over my car insurance to have the payments come out of the bank automatically, as MPI has stopped taking the monthly amounts from credit cards…

went to the credit union where they put a cheque in and immediately made a payment onto my credit card… handy, as there was no need to wait any additional time… added a few accounts and discovered that I could send up to $3,000 via eTransfer, although I am still ticked that they charge for that service…

took Indi for a bath, which she really needed as she’s been driven to Kenora twice in the last while and was covered in bugs…

finally picked up a few groceries before heading home… nice to get all that over with…

then there was eating, tv watching and napping…

own…

big girl pants, breakfast, burrito, car wash, Friday, moments, office supplies, own, Shadow, widow

today was my Friday off but I was very busy…

started the morning with breakfast from McDonald’s…

went in all on my own, ordered and then ate in the car… a lovely treat as I really enjoy their breakfast burrito and, of course, the hash browns…

then I spent some time in Staples… I do love me a good office supply store… similar to a candy shop for others…

later in the day I took Shadow in for a bath… so dirty that she looked gray…

last time I was there it took a long time for the wash to be done so this time I set my timer for 20 minutes and did some reading… when it beeped I watched for her and eventually went outside to be ready… I waited a long time and finally turned to go back in to see what was going on and at that point saw Shadow in a different part of the lot… apparently I should have turned around a bit sooner, lol…

but she looks great…

serendipitous…

big girl pants, car wash, George, remote starter, safety deposit box, serendipitous, sunrise, tears

took this picture of the beautiful sunrise this morning…

  
am always amazed at how I walk by the window at just the right moment to catch something so lovely… what made me look out this time and not just focus on getting down the stairs… interesting…

had an appointment after lunch so needed to get a few things done in a short amount of time…

stopped in at the credit union and after making the deposit asked about when we could meet with the locksmith to drill out the key to our safety deposit box… it was serendipitous that the locksmith was on the way there for another reason…

I waited a few minutes and when he got there and opened it, we discovered that the box was empty, as I had imagined… we had that box since 1979…

 
was hard to see George’s signature on the document… brought a few tears… never know when things will hit hard…

after a quick grocery shop, I headed to Toyota to have them check the silly remote starter… met up with my sales guy and he took me to the place down the street that did the install… they checked it out and said it was fine… they gave me a lesson in how to use it and I drove away within half an hour… need to wait in one place, double click in another, and turn the key a certain way… will see how it goes, lol…

  
was so pleased with how quickly the visit to the dealership went that I decided to take her for a car wash as she was very dirty…

was a bit nervous about what I had to do when I got there but it was easy… left her at the door…

  
went in and paid, and discovered that the cars don’t stay in the same line they started in, yikes… a nice person helped me figure the system out, I found her and drove away in a lovely clean car…
