Mixed day

Got up in time to get ready before the start of the window of time they gave me for when the exterminator would be here (8 - 1). Oldest Brother was supposed to be here at 8:30. The exterminator showed a little after 8, before Oldest Brother showed up. He did the kitchen but said he couldn't do the whole apartment because of the cats. So if I want to get the whole apartment done I have to find somewhere to stash the cats for the day. I'm thinking maybe Roadkill can take them.

Anyway, when Oldest Brother got her the exterminator had already left, but Oldest Brother decided to stay the day here anyway. So I left for work.

Work went oK, nothing special. I did the teen lounge, got 9 kids all told.

After work I called the FWiB, and we talked while I went to my psychiatrist appointment, and all is well. The appointment went fine, nothing to tell.

Came home and made apparngements to meet mashfanficchick and her mother at Carvel. Went to Oldest Brother's car... and it wouldn't start. So I called mashfanficchick cause I know they have jumper cables, and they came over and jumped us. So we went to Carvel, where Oldest Brother kept the car running. Then we went for dinner at Uno. And after that, (Which was delicious btw, lobster and shrimp scampi) the car again would not start. So they jumped us again, and he is now headed to spend the nnight at his mechanic's, so as to be the first on line when they open in the morning.

So that's pretty bad, and depressing.

Gratitude List:

1. At least I got the kitchen done.

2. Oldest Brother.

3. Friends.

4. Coupons.

5. Bed soon.

6. The FWiB.

Some good news

Oldest Brother's car problem turned out to be just needing a new battery, not anything worse. So he got a new battery, and all is well.

Work was OK, though we were very short staffed. I did a lot of time on the desk, which was OK since it made the time pass quickly. We had a nice musical program which was fun to listen to.

After work I called the FWiB, and we talked on the way home. Then we Skyped for awhile.

After that I organized my laundry and took down a big load to be done. Then I bought milk and orange juice from the discount store.

Came home and ate, then read in the bedroom in the air conditioning. Almost finished with the Dresden book. Going to stay up late enough to finish it tonight.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Good books.

3. Nice music.

4. Summer solstice!

5. Free day tomorrow.

6. Flowers blooming on my walk home from the bus stop.
