A late slow start.

.
.
I did not get showered, dressed, and on the road until about 13:00. I first went to DOT and changed the address on my driver's license. They merely put tape on the license with the new address written on it, to my knowledge. Perhaps they will send me another license. I could not change my registration to vote there, but they knew where I could go. After going and doing that, I asked about the county veterans office. I also went and found that. The representative was in a meeting, which was set to last until 17:00, so we set up an appointment for Thursday. After that, I drove to Wal-Mart. I had used the small camera I purchased last December to take pictures of the front and back of my home, for the insurance company. I used Wal-Marts self-serve photo center (for the first time) to process the photos. It was rather easy, with only one thing I had to figure out... you have to pass the code through first to get the system to process the pictures and then again to have the machine spit them out. I also purchased 8 bags of salt for the softener. Then, on my way home, I took the pictures and a blank check into my insurance company.

I did buy a meal at Wendy's. There fries are not my favorite, but I must admit their burgers are really good. The fries I got were fresh out of the cooker, and that did help as well. Beyond that, I love the way people around here are nice. They often go overboard to do a good job. And you know what, I love that. I like to think I would do that, but since I do not do anything, I do not. Ha! I can only hope it is the thought that counts?

I still have to get the salt down to the basement. Being in the 90's, I will not be doing a lot of work right now. However, I am still considering working on the piles of dirt this evening. Tomorrow I am having to go in to my chiropractor for a review. Thankfully, I have nothing to remember. I am doing a lot better, physically, but we will see. I am a bit nervous, because Monday was so very harsh. I am still recovering from whatever that was. We will see though. I think my appointment tomorrow is at 14:00, though I will get up early and call to be sure. If so, I may do some weed whipping early while it is cool. Other than the salt and dirt moving, I plan on moving the sprinkler around the yard again tonight, after I water the tomatoes.

I hate it when I cannot get done what I need to do, whether it is my fault or not. My list gets rearranged and I have to figure out how things will work together after that. Today's failure is no one's fault. I am waiting for the appointment with the veterans advocate to figure out where to go both with home and auto tax work, and of course the rebate. They might all, or some of them, end up finding me needing something from the advocate's office and at the same office altogether. I just have to wait but keep it on my list too. It will work.

To the salt, then some cool down time, and then hopefully the wheelbarrow will be used for the first time. Oh, I had best get the tomatoes watered too. Good day!
