All day doing little, for my part.

I have been trying to get insurance since last Friday. I think, think I say, I have it. I was sent an issuance to print out and put in my vehicle which allowed me to go to town and buy the goods on the most recent shopping list. But not until 15:00 or 16:00. I am not holding my breath that this will all fall through for sure, but I am going with the flow until I know better for better or worse.

While I was in town, my mother... mowed. She is nearing 68, she has had two back surgeries, had both knees and a hip replaced, and had some number of surgeries on her feet. She was not supposed to do that, plotting for my disappearance to rev the engine. The grass was 2 to 3 feet high, it has not been mowed in... probably a year or two, and it is a hot day. Did I mention she smokes? It simply is not fair. Nor right. You can tell the woman, just not much. Ha!

I did get everything on the list except corn, which simply was not available. And, I did, after negotiating with... many people, gain insurance (for the moment?). I also set up the insurance (auto part) to be placed on automatic pay (first payment even), and am part way, or have actually, set the home insurance to go back to being paid by the escrow account. Still, after seeing what my mom did, it is not much.

I told her tomorrow I am her yard worker. Getting her to just organize and give orders will not work, though I am hoping she will at least leave the heavy work for me. Really, I can and will do it, if slow to get to it, once I start I do really well. I do it much more easily than she, once I get started. She even painted the purplish/mauvish/something bits.

I placed an order from a longtime friend. But the wrong address was used. My old Iowa address is still in my payment account, so it automatically put that into the order. I need it to go to my mom's, so not even my current address. I sent an email, and told her I would blurb so she might better know. Some gifts I think my mother might appreciate as an "I love you." and thanks. /blurboff Hmm, there were some things I like too. Maybe next month? No promises though, until I figure out my new fishbowl finances.

I now need to call my friend. He will hopefully be over for dinner tomorrow night. Chicken, fried, and lots of other good stuff. Friday, I believe, myself and my mom will be going to the Great Salt Lake. I have found a more favorable place there to visit and found the directions. Then, perhaps, a dinner Saturday with both my friend and some newer friends. I guess it is sort of a house warming (open house?) event. Whatever they are called. My more senior friend has seen the house before it became a home. He will be amazed. My other friends have not seen this place at all. Anyway, tomorrow is the last day of work, period. If I have to put some Queen in the stereo and grab some duct tape, this is it. She will relax or... "Tie your mother down, tie your mother down..." Ha!

Well, good night. Stay cool, even, perhaps especially, if it is not.
