Don’t Get Up Today!
Up before 6:30 am today with plans to take Brandy to Doggy Depot for a cleanup and the truck to Simms Chevrolet to fix the wipers. It seems that you can click on the first three or four positions and nothing happens but when you hit the last one those wipers take off like a Tasmanian Devil. When I went to leave a little after 7 am the ground was icy which dictated hanging on to things and watching carefully where you step.
First stop was the gas station where I clutched my heart when I saw that the price was climbing again. Up to $2.55 a gallon--guess there is no one needing to get elected right now! $54.02 lighter my wallet, Brandy, and I proceeded to Clio, MI. where I left Brandy a makeover.
The Ewok look is gone. The Vet suggested we have her face shaved due to the hair getting in her eyes and causing them to weep which seeps into the other hair on her face and making it mat up. So this is Miss Brandy’s new ‘do!
Then it was on to Simms with the truck. Roughly an hour and a half later with a new wiper control module installed and a wallet skinnier by $243.33 it was back to pick up Brandy. It was already starting to snow and the roads were getting slippery. A half hour after we got home this is what it looked like outside.
So now I am of two minds. One says don’t get up early because you can spend over $300. before 9:30am. The other is I’m darn glad I did get out early because I’m sure not going anywhere now and the wiper problem could have only gotten worse.
Stay warm, keep smiling because we only got 20 more days until Spring---yeah right!!!!
