(not necessarily in that order)
It took dealing with an unusual number of obstacles, but today I finally managed to get the tires on our car replaced.
Considering that it’s really a rather mundane task, you wouldn’t think I’d feel so excited.
But it took three separate appointments…and I have a drive to the Bay Area coming up in just a few days.
So, yeah. It’s a relief to have it done.
It started out with a lovely early lunch with my dad and my sister.
Got my boots refurbished in time for next week’s rain.
Did some early Christmas shopping for family in Switzerland.
Paid a visit to Les Schwab to check my tires.
Spent time browsing Weiss Brothers nursery and bought both indoor and outdoor plants (after all, I have to indulge my green thumb a bit to make up for two months away!).
After a break for a decaf latte and a snack, I ended the day by picking up a prescription and doing a bit of grocery shopping.
Believe it or not, it was a deeply relaxing day of going with the flow and enjoying every location, every person, every moment.
But I think I’ll sleep very well tonight.
We were finally able to get the car’s tires rotated and the trunk emptied of cardboard recycling.
The Alisal Fire is 50% contained and word is that the air quality in Santa Barbara is not too bad.
Various music ministry details have fallen into place.
So, we’re all systems GO to leave on vacation tomorrow.
Yay!
