I'll Keep The Car Today

The repair shop called saying the pool pump can be picked up today…

So, I need get dressed to drive Ginny to work with a fruit salad for Boss’s Day, drive to the motor shop, the post office to pick up a package, to Wal-Mart for pool chemicals, to the mission to deliver clothes to poor people, and to the book store.

Somewhere in there I need to get by the bank to get cash to pay for all this stuff and a gas station so it won’t conk out while I’m running around.

And, depending on how things go, I may need to drive by the fire museum (not sure about that side trip yet).

Then I drive back home, change clothes, apply the chemicals, re-attach the pump motor, change out the filter, fill the bird feeders, climb a ladder to remove books from top shelves and pack them for a second trip to the book store, shower, shave and get dressed again to go pick up Ginny again. Then come home and cook our dinner—or maybe eat out.

I hate days when I have to have the car.
