That describes today
Went to a fund raiser, called a woman by her sister's name, went shopping for a nut, watched the Bears eke out a victory.
The fundraiser was a huge event. Lots of people,with music, raffles, food.... all for a local girl who has spinal bifida and wanted to raise money to help find a cure, or preventative, for this crippling disease. Since it was also her birthday, it was a kind of fund raising birthday party. It was a nice event.
Saw lots of people I have not seen in a while, which is always good.
My big buy of the day was a nut.
While Emily was gone this weekend, I thought it would be nice for dad to replace the broken wheel on her hose cart with the new wheel she ordered. Except, the bad wheel was off and I could not find the nut.
So I took the remaining nut on the left side and went to buy a nut yesterday. But the one I bought yesterday was too small. It was 3/8. Emily mentioned it may have been a metric measurement, since it was improted. So today I went and bought a 12 mm bolt, which is about 1/2 inch.
I got back to her house and.....Voila!! She found the missing bolt and put the wheel on herself.
If anyone needs a 12 mm bolt that costs 79 cents, let me know and I will give it to you.
Also looked at the haul Julia bought a the Warren's Cranfest event. Lots of neat yard type ornaments. They did see a metal bison, but the $1,100 price tag seemed a bit much for something to stick out in t he yard. They had a fun time.
The six jobs I had to do this weekend did not get done. I need to scale back on my expectations. So the six jobs will get done this week. And probably several more will be added.
I am incredibly tired for not doing anything. I don't have a fever, but feel warm. About 4 times an hour I cough. It's almost like I a getting a cold.
Might be hot toddy time.
Peace and Love
