The Oddest Day…

• I woke up earlier than usual even though I’d gone to bed later than usual.
• It was another gray, rainy day – we got over .5 inches of rain!!
• I went to get my oil changed.  WalMart has all these signs about using a stand outside to place your order.  Then half the time they don’t have a stand out.  Or they don’t have anyone manning the stand.  It’s a huge guessing game: Where will I place the order for my oil change???
• I only bought a couple of extra things at WalMart.  I was proud of myself.
• I stopped in to say hello at the daycare center owned by our next-door neighbors.  It’s a nice place.  I’m glad I dropped by. 
• I went with Karen in the afternoon to Target for a bit.  We were not terribly successful, but it was a fun jaunt.
• Eric got home about 5:00.
• At about 5:30, someone knocked on our door selling something.  I bought one (a coupon book supporting a wheelchair basketball team).
• At 6:00, another salesperson knocked on our door.  He didn’t explain clearly what he wanted, but it turned out he was a vacuum salesman.  Since I’d committed myself long before I figured out exactly what he wanted to do, I let him in.  He vacuumed my floors and couch.  He gave us the price.  We told him no.  He said he still hadn’t cleaned the carpets.   I told him that it wasn’t necessary.  He repacked the vacuum.  It took him a long time.  Finally he left about 7:00.
• We left after showing him out to pick up a pizza.
• We watched TV for the rest of the evening (3 Good Eats and The Office).

Today I’m heading to CU to get some work done in my office.  Such fun.   Hopefully, I won’t be there all day!
