Friday went pretty well. The Youngest and I started around 11am to make up a couple batches of his potato soup. We added a bit more, turning it into a loaded back potato soup. Got it all into the crockpot, and I headed on down to the post. I got there about 2pm, and went ahead and plugged it in on low, to let it cook for about three hours (though it was already about half-cooked). About 5pm, when the dinner started, I put in some sharp cheddar and stirred it in. RM And PT made it up for the dinner, and shortly after them the Brother and his Wife showed up. They weren't invited, per se, by us, but they are members there as well. Thankfully they didn't stay terribly long after eating, and I still got a little time to catch up with RM - not so much PT, because I had to repeat seemingly everything said to him...sigh. I know he is into his years, but it is frustrating - imagine how RM feels with this going on everyday (amongst the other stupid things he asks).... Overall the meal went well, sales were good, and the Youngest got many compliments on his soup, though most didn't know he made it, nor that I brought it.
Saturday was a wait at home day. Waiting for that damn insurance check to arrive. By 1pm it hadn't shown, and headed to the Post. I stayed there until after the Queen of Hearts drawing, then went home. I was so fatigued by then, after having been on my feet more than usual the day before as well. Of course, the check did not arrive, and first thing at Dealer's hours on Sunday morning they were calling the Wife wanting to know if it came. I went to the Post for a couple hours, but there was no one there to hang out with, so came home about 3pm. Wife and I went to dinner at the buffet, and I did overeat a bit. I had (what I call) a mild-sized salad plate (salad, cucumber/onion/tomato salad, a couple pickles, some jalapenos on the greens, and a couple hard-boiled eggs), with a second plate with about 7 buffalo wings, small scoop of orange chicken on fried rice, a small scoop of kung pao chicken, and for dessert, one tiny, pre-packaged, ice milk. And I had 2 teas. But I was over-stuffed - not to the point of throwing up, but I could tell.
So tomorrow the Wife is borrowing the Youngest's car again. I suppose she will until we can get that check and get to the dealership. With her work hours, it will be difficult to do so during the week, but just to get the damn phone calls over with! When we were first there, aside from being frustrated about having to put money down to hold the vehicle for us, everything was fine. They understood our situation (waiting on the check) as I am sure they have dealt with thousands of times. But when they are calling the very next day (a Monday) to the Wife (at work) to see if the check came that day (she wouldn't know unless I told her) it is getting ridiculous. And they have called nearly every day for the last week. I told her tonight, next time to give them my number (which they have) and tell them they have to do all calls through me. So from a great experience, to one of the worst I have ever dealt with, with a car dealership. Bill Luke can cram a cuke....
So being full from dinner, I crashed out early. I don't even know what time it was. But I awoke at 11:26pm, hot and wide awake. I tried to go back to sleep to no avail, so you get this late night post. Monday will have me running to Walgreens for one of the Wife's meds. I'm meeting up with a friend also in the morning. Then it is home and stay home. I am just feeling so tired lately.
