It's coooold! Yesterday it was 79*F w/winds at 20 mph. Taday it's 29*F w/sleet. DH's office closed & he is home now. They didn't want people who don't know how ta drive on ice drivin' home th'sevenin'. Some o' the employes live up ta 50miles away.
Yesterday was crazy. The first part o' yesterday was good. I went ta an estate sale & really enjoyed myself. It's right around the corner.

I picked up a small rollin' suitcase & a clock for my bedroom. Then DH came home for lunch. I spoke ta him about the estate sale & we decided for me ta go back & buy the other sm rollin' suitcase. I can put my cloths in one & my toiletries in the other.

A trip ta Brady will only require one bag. I also picked up 2 twin bed frames while I was there. I got 'em for $30 for the 2 o' 'em. Now the twin beds in the deck room in Brady can be picked up off the floor.

After lunch everything went haywire. My DF Wanda had called last week & was supposed ta stop by. While I was waitin' I did some rippin' on my Doll Quilt that is part o' a swap I"m in. cause it needed a design change. (It was supposed ta go out by the first.) As she didn't show up I continued ta work on it. Then it came time for me ta go & pick up my DGnephew so he could read ta me. Ack! The bedframes were still in the back o' my truck & I couldn't git the seat down for him ta sit in. So I rushed & got 'em out & ran ta start the truck & it wouldn't start! I tried for 10 min's, & even jiggled the wire DH had showed me ta jiggle. Sigh nothin'. I called my DNeice & told her that I couldn't pick her DSon up. She told me not ta worry about it she'd go & git him & bring him ta me. She's lucky that her boss is so understandin'. So while I waited I worked on my DQ. It fought me the whole way. At 4:30 I called DNiece & found out that his DDad had picked him up & didn't want ta bring him ta me. Sigh. So I continued ta work on my DQ & got the top done just as DH came home & I laid it out on the kitchen island & it wasn't square!!!!

Obviously not square! DH worked on my truck & told me that my battery connector was bad & I needed a new one, in the mean time he gave me a wrench that I can use ta tighten the bolt so I can start it the next time it does this. Then we went ta the store & he kept askin' if I was mad at him. (I guess I wasn't talkin' much.) Finally I told him about waitin' on everybody, havin' ta rush ta git the bedframes out o' the truck, then the truck not startin' & finally my DQ not bein' square & if the DQ had been square then all o' that time waitin' would have been OK but now I felt the day had been waisted. Well when we got home he cooked while I figured out how ta fix it w/o messin' up my design. I did work on it in the kitchen while he cooked so we talked & soon I was feelin' better.
