2179

Tuesday and it's getting closer to the big date--September 17 is coming fast. After so many days of stress and struggle--today turned about in several ways.

First, I awoke thinking about the truck's pink slip--I couldn't think of where it might be. I just kept getting a blank--I got up and started to search the room looking for likely places I might have put it. I kept thinking of an accordion folder--that I had used to store receipts and such. I looked in the closet--and encountered the 10+ banker boxes I had thrown stuff into when I moved here 3 years ago. I had, in fact, had the boxes since around 2008--I began the process of pulling the boxes from the closet and looking into each box for something that might contain important documents.

Huzzah! I found a box with the accordion folders--and in one pocket of one folder was the truck's pink slip (title)! I last saw that document either 3 years ago, and possibly 8 years ago--I need to cull through the other 9+ boxes and see what else I stuffed away as I moved about. Not this week though--still a lot on the agenda for the rest of this month.

Finding the pink slip also prompted me to put some order to the closet's clothes items--I spent some time rearranging how the clothing is stored so that it's easier to access the most frequently used items (a make-do until I can clean/clear the whole unit).

I had a great lunch at the BBQ place--a salmon teriyaki plate with mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies. I came back and slept a short while--and then went to the Trager lady. She gave me a superb treatment--I'm still really relaxed with no hint of anxieties about anything. As we finished the session--I got a call from the truck repairman. They have located the problem and will have the truck back on the road tomorrow--they had to drop the transmission and open it up. There was a part that had failed--and the only way to find it was to redo the work that they did before and also add the new part. I'll keep the rental car for the wedding though--and play test driver with the truck for a while.

I was given a perfect stunt to pull off at the wedding reception--more on that as the wedding progresses.
