Ceil got State Farm to pay for part of our house repairs, the downstairs half bath. Still a possibility we can get more.
Tuesday I left at 4 pm and drove down
to 12th Street for my 6 pm focus group. Arrived at five and walked the two
blocks to the building, where I sat waiting and checking emails and stuff. Went
inside to sign in. Ate a granola bar and a turkey and cheese on wheat. They
called out names to go in but not mine. They had booked too many so I got paid
for showing up.
Took 12th across Peachtree to Piedmont
all the way to Roswell Road, then up to Johnson Ferry home. Stopped by three
thrift stores and the library. Saw one guy in two stores. Passed on a couple
pair of shoes but bought a red long sleeve shirt. Couldn’t remember if I
already had one. Checked out three books, including a Steve Berry and one on
Thomas Jefferson.
Was almost home when I realized I
needed gas. I was tired so I went on home, arriving just after eight. Then I
learned I needed to pick up M in Alpharetta. Changed into more comfortable
clothes and headed out. Gassed up the Civic on the way home.
Wednesday morning I went outside at
6:15 and opened the Jeep tailgate in the dark. When I bent forward to reach in
I couldn’t see the tailgate closing. I rammed my forehead into the gate. Ouch!
Then on the way to work I realized my forehead was bleeding.
Had leftover black eyed peas for
lunch. Worked til 5:10 pm so I got home earlier than usual. Ceil cooked
meatballs and tossed a salad. M went down the street to buy Girl Scout Thin
Mint Cookies. Later he went to Kroger.
Thursday night C had a meeting with a
ministry to oppressed foreign women. M was in Cumming. I worked past 6:30 and
got a lot done. Drove straight home. Watched Seinfeld and The Middle. Also that
new Apocalypse show. Looked in the pantry for something to eat. Chose a can of
Progresso Chicken Enchilada soup over PB&J. Very filling. Later I found out
that can of soup was what M had bought last night at Kroger.
C came home and grilled a chicken
breast and penne pasta. With no soup M ate a bowl of spicy noodles, then half a
bowl of chicken noodles. I’m having C and M’s leftovers for lunch today.
Anna comes home today for spring
break. Her friend John is a sneakerhead. He bought her a pair of white leather
Nike high-tops with red trim, similar to the shoes Dominique wore at UGA. I
told A those were all the rage in Southern California, where she jets off to on
Tuesday.
While MC is in NYC, Will is
considering driving to the Grand Canyon, a trip of over 14 hours. I told him
I’d come out and make the trip with him, but that’s a long way. Colorado
Springs is only 9.5 hours away. Even Mount Rushmore is closer. In April C and M
are scheduled to fly to OK to see MC in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
M has been
driving all week. So far so good. Not a speed demon, which is good.
My Civic is
starting to show its age. I had a new starter put in, but between that and the
wiring every now and then it won’t start. Aside from that it still runs great. All
three vehicles need oil changes, so that will be this weekend.
Big BBQ
cook-off at Coolray Field this weekend. I’m not going, but a vendor is
participating.
