2867

I got a call this morning alerting me that my truck has been repaired. That was quick! Unfortunately, I got the call about the time the repair shop was closing and I had no simple way to get to the place. My daughter and her Disneyland entourage had already left--there was no one here that could help me shuttle back and forth. Have to wait until Monday to take back the rental, and get them to drop me off at the shop. I never thought much about being "home alone" with no one to call on for help. There's just me (and the dogs, the fish, and the yard) and 97-year-old MD. She has a panic button that will deploy medical assistance if she  needs anything. I can always ring 911, but it's still a bit freaky to think about.

I enjoy riding in the rental car except for the dashboard full of buttons and switches. It was raining this morning (for a change) and I had to puzzle out how to activate the wipers, the lights, the AC, and a few other features so that I could just go get my green tea latte. Too many options--too much technology!

I've spent the day napping on and off--and letting the dogs in/out and catching up on my CBS episodes. It is quiet here today. Very little incidental noise or sounds!

I had a breakfast sandwich with my green tea latte, and had half of an artichoke/chicken deli sandwich for a late lunch. Still have half a sandwich left, but will probably go for a fruit bowl for dinner. Even with the naps I've taken, I'm still feeling drowsy and ready for more napping.

Rap-a-tap-tap, I'll take a nap, slump in my lap, fold up and flap, not give a crap, sleep in a snap!
