And, They Lost Our Car!

 Now, the insurance company rep says he is too busy. I called and got someone else. She did not know where it was, but where it should be, which the guy did not know and could not find out. It is 5pm and he has not called back.

Tommy called same locksmith that promised me for hours I would get a call. At the end of the day, I was told they would not come until morning. I asked if they were 24/7. The person said yes and had no answer, just hung up on me. 

I suppose I gave Tommy the wrong number to call, so partly my fault.

I went to bed at 2 am and woke at 4:15am. Finally went back to bed at 11 am and woke at noon. When I came in here, Tommy was watching television and had called no one. I had to stay up and make him call. 

We got a nice young man who made a key and did some extra stuff for $20. He carried dehumidifier to car, backed the car out of the carport since I hit things.

We went to store, and I forgot son's card. grrr

Took car through the car wash. Boy, was it dirty with mostly pollen. Mentioned it was for sale to someone at store who told someone who needed a car and looked at it. 

I am bleary from lack of sleep!

I drove for the first time. It was painful. Tomorrow, we have to find our car and get it to mechanic and get a rental. Mine is hard to get into and difficult for Tommy to drive. This ordeal is wearing me to a nub. So, we jave ;pst twp days.

Now, I have to get a rental car or force him to do so. I am getting sick of asking him. Unbelievably, I still feel the impact of hitting the porch all over my body. My doctor said it was the trauma of the fall. Oh, I have the remnants of a huge bruise on the underside of my breast.  

I suppose no comments means no interest.

The guy who made the key was interesting. We got his life story- Indian and Irish, Second generation Indian. More about his family dynamics and his job. He did extra stuff for us. Interesting young man. 

This is so stressful!

Not Much Today

 It appears my car has sold (will be) for the $6K Firm I am asking. Mower called and said in about two days, his son would buy it. I hope I have not spoken too soon. Tomorrow, I will change the oil. He will pick it up in two days.

We mailed our ballots today, none too soon. We asked a neighbor to be a witness to our signatures and drove to his house across the street on the way to the PO. Then, we brought bread and milk, drove through the park and home.

There are so many silver SUVs out and about. Every time I get out of the car at a store, I cannot find Tommy. I try to put groceries in different cars. So frustrating. He honks when I am off course.  With the Nissan, I instructed the guy helping me to put it into a police SUV. Guy said, "Are you sure?" He would not open the police SUV even when I insisted. 

Do you ever lose your car in the parking lot outside a store? Or anywhere?

Exhaustion and Cancelled Appointment

 My sleep was so messed up that I have been exhausted all day. One time, I lay down for an hour nap, woke in 15 minutes, thinking Tommy had called me. Nope. Lay down for another then minutes, kept sleeping and waking up--about three times in ten minutes. 

So, nothing much was done, just got the laundry ready and Tommy washed and dried. We went out for 3 store ads. I shopped a bit. Good news is that my milk is on sale for 'only' $9/gal. Bad news is that there is a turkey breast thawing where the milk goes. 

One store had all the huge Halloween decorations down. I wonder why. I hope they were not vandalized. 

Quaker 42 oz. Old-Fashioned Oats were bogo, making them $4. Progresso Chicken Broth was bogo. I got one for $1.39. Of course, I needed bananas. 

The turkey breast thawing is going to be frozen for Thanksgiving. Tommy is going to find the frozen cranberries from the first of the year. So, we will have turkey and cooked and frozen cranberry sauce done for the Thanksgiving meal.

I cannot stand up to bake. So, I have a plan. I will get a small, folding table, put it in front of counter, find a chair, and mix things there. I told Tommy he would have to be present to hand me ingredients or whatever I need. He did not moan at all. I think he wants homemade baked goods. I want to bake some for the guy who takes out the garbage and brings in the empty can. 

Pumpkin bread and pumpkin are on the list of things to make. I cannot find a chocolate pound cake recipe to replace the one lost in the house. I want to bake a pumpkin pie without crust. But, Tommy wants a crust. So, I will bake another without crust in a casserole dish. I have not made a pecan pie in ten years or more. I may make one this year. 

I am afraid for us to put out the garbage on Halloween. It seems it will be a good target for vandals. I will probably bring in Skelli when it gets dark. 

We ate our only Halloween candy. Tommy said to divide them up. So, we each had twenty candy corn pieces. I ate both the pumpkins. 

Dinner was turkey, tomatoes, and turnip greens. I think Tommy had the same thing. Not sure since he eats different things than me most of the time. 

Since I have the Impala title, I have called mower about four times. So, I had Tommy call. Mower said "okay." He said not one word more. Tommy screwed up and said, "was he willing to buy the car?" Bad choice of words! Now, it sounds like we are begging him to buy it. I know he thinks he can wait me out until I lower the price. NO WAY! I have other people interested. I have been saving it for him. 

Are you ready for Halloween?

Do you wear a costume?

Have a party or go to one?
