Doing Stuff...

I got dressed, went out and started the car to let it run and make sure the battery stays charged. I have a doctor appointment in a few days and don't want to be screwing around calling AAA for a jumpstart early that morning. (That doctor's office is 40 miles away so I can't just walk if the car won't start.) Right now the forecast is showing no precipitation of any kind that morning, thank goodness. I hope the forecast doesn't change and it's correct for that day, at least. It's also supposed to be a beautiful sunny day in the mid-50s that day, too. I also took out trash bags and have been cutting up cardboard boxes and piling them beside the trash can. It all needs to go away. I hope you're all having a wonderful day today.

Everything needs to go well when going to see the doctor. I am always like I am already in a bad mood because I have to see the doctor. Don't you start with me today. Hope all goes well and is well.

@crossbones27 Lots of physical force might make him feel better, though.

@RasmaSandra You're very welcome. It's hard not to worry with all the negativity going around now. Pretty and I are both worriers, too.

That's good that you'll be able to drive yourself. I know sometimes you can't.

I hope I can drive myself. You're right, sometimes (Most of the time.) I can't. We'll just have to wait and see what my eyes are doing that morning. Making sure the car will start and run is just part of it.

True, since I just wear shorts when I'm in bed. Although I do step out on the front porch dressed like that when I get the mail.

Yes, that is Oklahoma’s forecast for Monday, too. I do love a little chill in the air, but add sun and that makes it ideal. I hope your appointment goes well. If they don’t treat you right, let me know!

The appointment is on Tuesday and we'll only reach 42F here on Monday. Thanks. This is with the ophthalmologist and we like him. He's always treated us right.

Sounds like a normal day. I hope the weather is good for your appointment. I must be truthful though. I am so glad I don't drive anymore. Neither of the kids drive. I'm also glad I don't have to pay insurance and maintenance. But I do feel badly that you have to go through it all. I hope the weather holds for you.

@DaddyEvil .......That's good. When I was driving the night after a snow was always scary for me. I was nervous there would be black ice under the snow.

Thank you. We'd be lost if we didn't have a vehicle of some type. Nothing is close to us. At least I can always reschedule my appointment if we get snow or ice the night before the appointment.

@DaddyEvil - Better not, we had bought a jump starter for the sport car that my husband did not often drive.

@LadyDuck I bought one several years ago but it burned out a couple of years later. It's cheaper to pay $40 for a jumpstart.

True and I don't want to pay $40 to call for a jumpstart, either.

Here days are sunny, but cold. Recently I had been to a town to attend a wedding. On my way back home I experienced a chilling cold while passing from the countryside.

I hope everything goes well the day of your appointment (car, weather, etc) We have a lot of those cardboard boxes thanks to Amazon which require cutting up (which is a monumental pain in the butt) so they fit in our recycling pail. Guss we order too much stuff from Amazon

Thanks. I hope it all goes well that day. It's my eye specialist appointment. I haven't seen him in well over a year now. Pretty orders too much stuff from Amazon and then piles the empty boxes in the living room. When I complain, she tells me we might need the boxes for something.

@Marilynda1225 The eye specialist has always said I need to get disability. It was the Endo who said he had it "under control". And he's the one we switched away from. When we donate, I put everything into Walmart bags. Easier to store and don't take up any room.

@DaddyEvil Hope that eye specialist decides that you need disability Yeah, we get too many boxes too but there are some that we keep for "maybe" Last time I donated stuff those boxes were perfect. See!!

This is us right now. We are in the Willapa area and it's already flooding before Monday. I hope your car does well for your appointment. Mine is still in shop since a new issue was found when repairing the others it was scheduled for.
