Yesterday

Ok, yesterday!

I got up before I was ready to because I had to have my car at the repair place by 9 am. The estimate was that they would keep it for two days but when I said I would have it in by 10 am, they said if I wanted to leave it at that time then they might have to keep it three days! Hence the 9 am. Enterprise got me a small white Chevrolet with NO CD player! It also has manual locks.   My previous Kia had manual locks but I have been SO spoiled by the electric locks on the present Kia. Oh, well, I can live with manual locks and without a CD player for two days! It also came with half a tank of gas and I have to return it with a quarter of a tank. As little driving as I do, I am probably not even going to have to put gas in it before I return it tomorrow!

When I got home, I took a nap which is unusual for me, but since I was yawning and gaping in a most unattractive manner, I felt I needed it. I thought the two hour nap would mess up my sleep last night . All it did was to push back my sleepy feeling to 11 pm rather than the usual 10 pm and I had a good night’s sleep waking up at my usual around 7:30 time.

The book club meeting was unusual in two ways. First, EVERYONE was there. Usually there are four or five of us but last night all eight members were there. The other oddity was that despite the unusually high number of people there, we finished and left before 8 am. Part of it was because Carol had to go home to her 90  plus year old mother who was not feeling well so we cut out our usual gossip session at the end. I was home before 8 pm much to Fred’s surprise. I was telling the group about my birthday present from Fred, the Kindle,  so I have promised to bring it next time. Actually, I will have to bring it because next month’s book, Travels with a Donkey by Robert Louis Stevenson is on it!

I have just discovered that everyone and his dog can tell I am wearing red panties this morning since there is a hole in my jeans just along the panty line!

What I am reading:

• Travels with a Donkey by R. L. Stevenson.
• Black Ice by Michael Connelly
