Monday August 21 Diary

Around  1 or so...up to pee, and to get Merry (maybe Sunshine) off the couch to come to bed.
She was watching  Hateful Eight, and turned it on the bedroom tv to continue.  She went right to sleep; I continued watching
Then I watched the last half of "The Expendables"
Then  Dice 2:1, then Episodes  5:01
4 a.m.  sorta trying to go back to sleep... but I think I'd finally had enough
7:00 up.... called Caruso Ford 2 minutes after service department opened, to confirm I could have car towed to them without me riding along...and they would know it was coming. Yeah, okay
Then Called AAA 7:15
Arrived 7:40.   Same guy who towed the car to Caruso last time.
8:45  Merry got a call, saying the car had arrived.
Oscar had told me that they had many appointments for the day, so my hopes weren't very highly placed.
breakfast... buttered tortillas coffee.
On the couch, worked on the spreadsheet on my phone and
watched Dexter 3:10-12, then Suits.
Called Thing 2, see if he could cover my shift coming up in the evening...he said he could...I notified Denny that Thing 2 would be covering.
Lunch...ham n cheese on toast.
Watched two eps of House from season 5.
Watched Money Maker.
Merry went out with #2 son, grocery shopping.
I watched Deep Impact...
I called Caruso, check on car; turns out they had called Joni and told her .... well, they'd get the part tomorrow at 10, and it would be done soon thereafter
Merry...home with groceries, Stitch went down to assist bringing them up.
Watched Salvation, 1 of 2.
Dinner   Fried chicken n coleslaw

April 3rd, Monday Diary

In 00:25
 Finished  TWW 2:17
J called at 02:30  ... Tsu had returned home!
Watched TWW 2:18 -- 22,  3:1, started 3:2

Morning was BUSY and a little screwed up, so I stayed with the morning dispatch to watch and help until 6:35
Car 6:42  headed home

Still on the 710, almost home and
the 'battery' indicator lit up on the dash, followed by the 'radiator' light followed by the temperature shooting to the right, meaning past-hot...   engine still was running; as I exited, I realized that the power steering wasn't working.

Managed to get home, and get it into the driveway.

Talked to J about it.
Decided to use a Ford dealer.  We called the nearest one, who told us we could have the car towed to them without one of us being with the car.
I ate MDM  ... pot roast, made last night.
Called AAA, who arrived 0900 and took the car.

Sleep
Awake every couple hours to pee.
Ford service agent called  3:30 or so.... with the estimate... ugh, but I said, go ahead

UP
Showered dressed...  pills...
Loaded Lyft on J's phone.
Summoned Lyft (1740)  who arrived in 5 minutes.
