This has been a weird day for me.  I got up early and was ready early so decided to go to Walmart to pick up a couple things on my list before I went to do taxes.  I got lost and it took me longer to get there than it should.  They didn’t have two of the three things on my list anyways.

Went to do taxes.  I got there at 9:15 and there were only three people in line.  This is the first day that we haven’t had at least 15 people waiting for us to open at 9:30.  I helped two of the rookies do several clients today and ended up only doing two myself.  I left at 11:30 and took a lunch break and went to the other Walmart in town.  They had the two things I had looked for earlier in the day.

Went back to do taxes and we still didn’t have many clients.  There were plenty of volunteers so I decided to leave after doing one more client.  I don’t like to stand around and not have anything to do.

I had called Toyota mid-morning and asked them to come get my car started.  They came right away but couldn’t get the car to start.  Jim had to call someone to come tow it to the Toyota dealership.  I stopped by the dealership on my way home but they hadn’t gotten to it yet.  I trust it will be a simple fix and not cost too much.  I am grateful we discovered there was a problem before David gets here to drive it to California.  I would have felt bad if he had stopped overnight on the way home and have it not start the next morning.

We went to church tonight for Ash Wednesday service.  Jim had choir practice before the church service.  I sat and knitted while the choir rehearsed.  The service was nice.  The piece of bread I broke off to dip in the juice broke apart in the juice.  I had a tiny little piece left to eat.  When my grandkids were small and drank out of my glass we called in back flushing when they left bits of food for me in my drink.  I guess tonight I back flushed into the communal cup of juice.  Oops!

We went out for Chinese after church.  I had cashew chicken without rice and a cup of egg drop soup.  Chinese isn’t my favorite type of food but I can eat it.

Tomorrow we have a free day although we decided to go to another concert tomorrow night.  I hope to get the painting in the kitchen done tomorrow.  We hope to get the kitchen floor laid this weekend.

Another dress came in today.  I haven’t tried it on yet.  I sure have a nice supply of dresses now.  Wonder how much I will wear them.  Most of them are spring and summer type dresses so hoping when it warms up a bit I will wear them some.

We got a bit of snow overnight but it had melted by morning. The wind was cold today and it didn’t warm up much during the day.  It is to warm up more tomorrow and even more over the weekend.  I am ready for spring and warmer temperatures.

Grateful for Ash Wednesday and a church to attend, grateful we discovered something is wrong with the Prius, and grateful for a new supply of dresses.
