But Monday is on it's way, even if I don't like it. :(
I spent Friday hiding from the world. In other words, I was home. With spring allergy induced asthma! Except for when I went to Wallyworld to get Otter's allergy medicine and talk to the pharmacist to see if there was anything that I could take. That would actually work on me! The pharmacist was not exactly a redhead, but his beard had quite a bit of red in it and he was familiar with the Care of Redheads. He knew all about the way we metabolize things and he said he has some of the issues with the Redhead Curse. After talking to him, I think I'm still stuck and unable to take anything for my allergies since they will either not work or work in unexpected and unpleasant ways. I'm just glad that Otter has a couple of things she can take.
Bill worked on Otter's car again today. He bought the specific part that he replaced once already, which is supposed to be what the "check engine" light was coming on about. When we took it in to chevy a couple of weeks ago, the manager cleared out the system and the light went off. Bill was afraid it was going to come back on again so he went to the auto parts store and bought the part again. He got it from a cut-rate internet based auto parts company that we've used before. Cut rate only implies the general price, we've always had good luck with their parts before. Except this time. So Bill was expecting to have to replace the part again. Yesterday Otter texted me that the "check engine" light was back on. She came over after work to do laundry and she talked to Bill about the car. He told her to bring it back today since it was cloudy and threatening to rain all day yesterday. But she had to work all day today, so we went to her store and Bill got the car then. He brought it home and let it cool down for a few hours. He replaced the part today and also cleaned out a specific hose that could be contributing to the problem. The hose might need to be replaced as well, it looks like is might have been crushed a bit by either Chevy or (more likely) the crooks we used before. The light is out and Otter's going to watch to see what happens. If the hose does clog up again, Chevy will probably be where we take it to get it replaced - but not the Chevy dealer we've been using.
I did manage to get some crochet in yesterday. And my arm hurts today. It was already hurting, the crochet made it worse but I have got to get one specific project completed by June because it's for Froggy's daughter! I hate tendinitis.
Movie Review: The Book of Life. Don't bother! I was disappointed with this one. It looked so good from the previews but it was not very good at all. They did get a few of the cultural references right, but not all that many.
Bill got out the grill this afternoon. We had steaks for dinner and he has leftover steak for lunch tomorrow. He also grilled chicken breast and that will be dinner tomorrow night with some rice I made. While he was at it, he grilled hamburger patties so that will probably be Tuesday's dinner and since there were 6 patties it will probably be a couple of day's meals. I won't have to cook much this week, which was the general idea!
We went back to the Methodist church today. We enjoyed the service. At this point, we are seriously leaning towards joining this church. It's time to talk to the minister about a few things and then we'll decide.
I went to Michael's today to get paint. I am going to put up new outlet covers and a new switchplate in the craft/front/guest/YARN room. Bill said he would get me something printed up on the sheets he uses for backgrounds on the pachinko rooms - the same stuff car wraps are made from - but I couldn't find a picture that would work. I was looking for a specific yarn or crochet pattern, but the only things I could find were either knitted patterns or the definition was not very good. But Otter and I went to the dollar store yesterday while her laundry was in the dryer and I found some really neat stickers. I think they are made for scrapbooking, but they are going to work perfectly - they are crocheted doilies! They are almost white color on a clear background, I bought some pinkish paint and I'm going to put that on the outlet covers and switchplate. Then I'm going to decorate them with the stickers. But I have to finish the other painting project I have started, the shadow box. I did a little more on it today, but I have to wait for the paint to dry completely before I can get back on it. After it's finished, I'll get the outlet covers and switchplate done
That is about it for today.
