I didn't spend anything yesterday except for $1.50 for laundry.

Today I went to the dealer who sold me my Civic to cancel the warranty I bought at the same time. However, the man I needed does not work on Wednesdays, so I'll have to try again tomorrow. I think I may get some money back from that.

I revisited the letter sent to me from Allstate and I realized that it directed me to an email address different from the one I was using. So I sent the bill of sale info to that one. If I hear nothing today, I'll call them tomorrow.

I spent a good deal of time cleaning the stovetop yesterday. I started out with a baking soda paste, but it didn't do much and I had to wipe the stove about a thousand times because a film kept reappearing. Then I used one of those spray-on cleaners, and it didn't do much either. I am writing this in hopes I will remember from now on -- ammonia is the answer! Straight ammonia on rags, stuffed around the burners and covered by inverted bowls to keep the ammonia moist. The grates and knobs I ran through the dishwasher. The grates aren't perfect, but much better. I know I can make them perfect by soaking them in ammonia, but I think it's all good enough for now.

Tomorrow is gym day, and I'll also be taking the boys to music lessons. Then GS1 has a concert right after. Add to that the visit to get my warranty cancelled and it will be a busy day!
