Doing What Needs To Be Done

Yesterday I went to Walmart and stocked up on some toiletry supplies: mouth rinses, fluoride, root cover up for my hair, that sort of thing.  I also stopped at Joanne's and bought some mercerized cotton yarn and a tiny crochet hook.  I had read a blog post on crocheting your own bandages.  It sounded like so much fun.  Once I tried it, I realized that at my age, just seeing the thread is very tedious.  I will try to stick with it, but I have my doubts.  Instead I knit a slipper.  I am working on the second one now.  It's a joy to be using worsted weight yarn.  My ballet teacher from childhood sent me some dark grey skeins from her sister's alpacas.  She had started a shawl, but it didn't fit.  The yarn is fabulous!  I love working with it.  I can't wait to finish these; they are a vintage design, just like the ones that  my grandma used to wear.

I stopped by  my mechanic's garage  and made arrangements to have my electric window replaced.  I also need new wiper blades, to have the oil changed, and to get the maintenance check done for 60,000 miles.  Phew!  It was such a relief to get that all settled and organized.  First I will pay my property taxes, then I will have the car done. 

Today I picked up my new updated and notarized power of attorney forms.  That is a huge relief.  I still need to go back and finalize a few other changes.  It's so important to have people you trust on these items.  It was  a long drive home in the LA traffic, but I am grateful that I no longer have to commute daily.  Are you happy with the names you have on your will and power of attorneys?
