Monday and an Oil Change and my trip to See Nancy

I slept very well last night but it was after 11:00PM before I got to go to bed. We were so late getting home. It was actually an exhausting evening and the drive home so late was hard too.

The music was way too loud and nothing I ever would have enjoyed. I hope the other four concerts are more to my taste. They are all next year. The drive home was also different. The night was very cloudy and dark. I had to use my brights to even see. All in all I should have just stayed home.

I stripped my bed this morning and am doing a load of sheets and underwear. 

And I need to get my oil changed today. My oil change light finally went to 15%...where it needs to be to get the oil and filter changed. Later this morning, after 8:00AM, I will call Tate Boys and see if they can do the oil change and filter this morning. My warning light is on the dash. I would take the car to Josh but they are always swamped. Tate Boys has more mechanics. Josh just has his brother. And Josh works in their Sedan shop so it's really just his brother. I would take it to the Honda dealership there in Bartlesville but they always want to add another $100.worth of work.Last time I took it there the wanted to change out the filter in the glove box. The last time they did that it cost me an arm and a leg. I no longer have an extra arm and leg.. so if I can get it in, I will take it to Tate Boys.

My laundry is in the dryer now. Changing the sheets always seems also to be exhausting. And folding them when they are dry is just as bad. I only change my sheets every other Monday. I am the only one that sleeps in that bed unless I have company.

I am having my breakfast here in the den...as usual. It's 6:32AM now and I need to go check on the cats. They are usually there by 6:30AM.

And the cats were there...waiting for me to open the door and see them. I took their food out to them and they are still eating.

They are gone now so I guess they are through eating. I put their food in the garage and covered it.

About that time, "the weather on the 8's" came on the TV. I see we are to have rain and perhaps even snow tonight. PM showers for sure though and 43 degrees. Tuesday is to be 46 degrees and clouds and PM sunny, Wednesday is to be 41 degrees and  sunny, Thursday 45 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 34 degrees and partly cloudy, Saturday is to be 41 degrees and sunny and Sunday is to be 45 degrees and sunny. Rain today and that's it...and that later today.

More later...

I got the sheets and other laundry dried and folded and put away for another two weeks. I do laundry every Monday morning but not the sheets. I do those every two weeks. They are a hassle.

In another 45 minutes at 8:00AM, I will try to call Tate Boys to get an appointment for the oil and filter change.

More Later...

I got hold of Tate Boys and they told me to come right down and they could get me in and get my oil changed and a new filter in..so that's what I did. After that I went to visit Nancy and we went to that new Cafe that Sally took us to last week to have our lunch. She was there too so we invited her to join us.  I took Nancy on a short ride and then after that I took her back to her Assisted Living  apartment.

Then I came home. I had a couple of Christmas gift packages waiting for me. I got them labeled and put away until later in December when I will wrap them.

I wrote some checks and got them in the mail and then went on to the market for milk, I am nearly out and I need it for my oatmeal at breakfast. I also bought a treat for Bunco on Wednesday.

When I got back home, Blondie was waiting for me for some supper. He wanted to eat in the garage but that isn't going to happen.

More later...

Now I am going to read awhile until the CBS evening news comes on. 

I read for awhile but so far, I'm not impressed with this book. I did watch the CBS news. It's a little after 7:00PM and I have just had my bath and have my pajamas on. I may put on my robe if it gets any colder. I washed my jeans and underwear this afternoon and it is taking a long time for them to dry. I should have washed my jacket too but I was afraid the jeans would have faded on the jacket . The jacket is washable but I will wash it with something I am not afraid of it fading a color on it.

I will watch some TV until 9:00PM or so and then go on to bed. I don't have a plan for tomorrow. Wednesday I will have my hair done and later at 1:00PM ..Bunco at the senior center and then Friday is that $3.00 dinner there. I will probably go back over there for that if we don't get snow.

It’ll be good to go now before really cold temps arrive so the mechanic can check all the fluids in your car.

Hi Margie, I have a scheduled oil change and winter tire installation appointment at my car dealership for first thing on Wednesday this week. It's snowing here today and the roads are slippery. Whenever they tell me I need to have my cabin filter (in glove compartment) or air filter changed, I just tell them I'll do it myself. I then go buy the appropriate filter and change it. Sorry to hear that the concert was so disappointing to you. I hope future ones are more to what you like.
