A Nice Day

September 3rd, 2020 at 08:29 pm

I met BFF in a town where I used to live -- it just happens to be at the midpoint between where the two of us now live. I haven't been there for more than thirty years, except for a few drive-by's to see the old house. I found it to be much changed -- not surprising -- but saw some old landmarks, too. My old house looks better than it ever has before!

We met at a shopping center parking lot and rode together to the town square, where we found an adorable restaurant with patio seating. I spent $22, but it was money well spent. The food and the service were both great. We lunched for about an hour, and then we walked around the square. It was so good to see her and catch up!

Before I left town, I spent $12 on gas (it's always cheaper in Indiana, so I always fill up!) And I bought a soft drink for the road - $2.

Variables are now at 13%.

I will probably go all the way to her house next week. She is getting knee surgery and needs someone to stay the night with her, and the following day. I am trying to see if I can get a COVID test beforehand, so that we won't have to bother with masks and distancing for that time. She will be getting a COVID test as part of her prep for surgery.

Today has been a quiet day. I did a load of laundry, fried some bacon for BLT's, and cooked some chicken for fajitas.

Another book came in, so I will be making another trip to the library tomorrow. Since the dishwasher repairman is coming tomorrow -- but I don't know when -- I made the pickup time for 6 in the evening.

Really looking forward to having a working dishwasher again. I won't even let myself think that it might have to be replaced! Nope. Not going there.

    Not thinking that something needs to be replaced is definitely the right frame of mind! Do you have a cut-off point for the amount you will spend on repairs though?

    It is time for Murphy to move along! Hoping the dishwasher is an inexpensive, easy fix.

    VS, not really. The dishwasher is only five years old, and the tub and movable parts are all in great condition. I think it is the control panel that will have to be replaced. I think that will be a few hundred dollars.

    CB definitely not worth replacing if it’s only 5 years old. Hope it’s not too expensive to fix.
