Waiting

 I received a call yesterday morning, they will have my car available on Thursday. Of course, I am working at the gallery, both, Thursday and Friday, so I told them I would not be able to get there until Saturday. That is fine with them, though I did request to have it by Wednesday if possible. Waiting.

A Bit of this and a Bit of that

 Started my day at Santa Fe Imaging for a CT Scan. They told me they were going to use a contrasting dye, this involves an intravenous injection. The first two tries to insert the needle failed. The third attempt blew out my vein when they started to inject the dye.They called in a third person and they were successful. After that everything went smoothly, now, I wait hear back doctor.

I then took my vehicle to the dealer to repair the damage done to the to the electrical, fuel and windshield washer systems by the rodents that run around my property.

I contacted the rental agency to see when I could pickup a vehicle. I thought that my appointments would take longer than they did, so they didn’t have a vehicle available until 1:30. I should have scheduled if for an earlier pickup time.

I walked from the dealer to the Southside Plaza Restaurant and had lunch, to kill some time. I couldn’t eat before the appointment so I was pretty hungry.

On the way I had to capture this photo.

Anyone in need of “Lice” this is the place

I sat on the patio and snapped this shot.

A great day to sit outside.

The only problem was they seemed to 

forget the people outside.

The food was good.

I then wandered around until about one and then headed to the rental office. I was taken care of immediately by, Jessica, who is the Assistant Branch Manager. She was very professional and helpful. When we got to the car she went over many of the features and we searched through the manual to ensure I would be putting the right grade of fuel in. We had a very nice conversation and made plans to meet in Madrid. I showed her my art and we have a mutual acquaintance there.

I then went back to the dealership to move my things to the rental.

I then headed home to clean the house as I to get a blood test on Tuesday and on Wednesday I was at the gallery. the dirty dishes have been piling up. I definitely need to get new batteries for my solar system so I can make it through a couple days without having to worry about it. Right now I lose my electricity around 10 o’clock at night and don’t get it back till the sun comes up.
