lucky number tuesday
Today was a pretty uneventful day. I slept in until 9am and spent a leisurely morning reading Anna Karenina while drinking my coffee. I am enjoying this book immensely. I think Konstantin Levin is my favorite character thus far. As I'm only 140 pages of approximately 800 I'm going to reserve judgement, but once I start reading it I can't hardly put it down.
I had set a mental goal for myself to get all the housework done today, but alas all I got done was some organizing, the vacuuming, tidying up the porch, and I started the laundry. That leaves the remaining tasks of the bedroom, bathroom and finishing the laundry for tomorrow. Russell and I drove to Roseburg in the afternoon for a brief necessities trip. He needed more BP medication and we made the FINAL payment on the Dodge. Hooray for us! I feel really good to have completely paid for that truck. Now all we have to do is sell it. Russell is still hoping for $9K. I hope that'll be easy. Once the weather is consistently good and we can get it cleaned up we're going to advertise in the Truck Trader, local papers and I'm going to post some pictures on the Hynix intranet.
On the way to Roseburg we passed the site of the landslide last week. Douglas County is still heavily involved in repairing the road and removing all the rock and dirt. It's the most significant landslide I think I've ever seen. Only one lane of traffic can move through that section of the highway and they've got flaggers there at all hours. We ate lunch at the PIzza Schmizza in Roseburg. It was just okay. I had remembered it as better last time. The pizza didn't have enough sauce on it for my taste and salad I ordered wasn't very fresh. I'm not sure we'll be returning. It was lucky number Tuesday at BiMart so while waiting for Russell's diovan we busied ourselves with dodging all the elderly folks looking for great deals on sporting goods, home appliances and gardening supplies. Normally we come out of BiMart with all sorts of stuff we don't need. It's a lot like WalMart in that every time we go in thinking we only need a few essentials and we come out with our arms loaded down with bags and bags of needless stuff. This time, however, we exercised great restraint leaving only with the diovan.
I should best be heading to bed, as I have lots of chores to do tomorrow.
