Hi dee-

I have some possibilities in regards to the brake places-not sure if any are around you.

Meineke
Jiffy Lube
Quick Lane
Goodyear

I have used all 4 and they are pretty quick- especially Jiffy Lube and Quick Lane. Hope this helps.

Dee,

In a new place I ask neighbors, coworkers, local folks, firemen, and policemen to recommend a good automotive repair shop. Some folks have good luck with yelp.
I agree with NavyButch for a fast brake job you can use a chain store also consider Brake Check. Be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any automotive repair questions.

Work, mostly inside cleaning. Not happy about that. I would prefer working outside all day.

Agenda
 

I have lawn mower repair this afternoon after I pickup parts.

I will mow today or tomorrow depending on the weather.

Gardening today

I have a craving for fresh fruit and veggies so a little grocery shopping is on the agenda.

Clean the house
Wash laundry

Relax tonight

This is my weekend to work. :jester: I'm baking some chicken for my spouse for her supper tonight, mashed potatoes, green beans. She warms it in microwave later and has a tray on her walker to carry it back to the bedroom to eat it in bed. We have one of those craftmatic adjustable beds to keep her more comfortable since she's in bed a lot.
I'm also doing laundry, tidying up and have to run to vet to pick up dog's seizure meds.:hangloose:

Clean and move the fish tank - Done
Do some shopping- which will entail about 3 stores I think
A visit with a couple members of My fam
Finish paperwork to renew My passport
Take the garbage out and break down some boxes to recycle
Hopefully after all of this- some relaxation tonight

finish up the laundry...worked on it for 5 hours yesterday and still have more to do! Never again will I wait 3 weeks!

pick up grand daughter. She is staying the night again. We are taking her out to see and ride her pony, Tull.

Bake chicken and clean up the kitchen. I am trying to organize my cupboards and everything is scattered across the counters while I attempt this!

Not a thing, except be lazy and shower for dinner later!

Saturday stuff:

Wash the car and get gas
Drop off and pick up blouses from the dry cleaners (they iron, I do not any more)
Go to Trader Joes

Already washed the kitchen and bathroom floors, will dust and vacuum when I get home.

Accomplished everything on this list- except I did not make it to the pet store to get some more fish. (that was 1 of the 3 stores). But, I think I might do it tomorrow- or I just might chill and relax- which sounds like a good plan.

I planted a tiny carmello tomatoe I grew from seed...beautiful day but a little chilly

Driving from Meriden, Ms to home. Done
Packing up my house. Started.
Rent Moving truck. Done
Find ppl to load truck. Done
Take care of Momma. Always.


These r the major ones I am sure there will a bunch more to do before we head back to GA tomorrow afternoon.

Did most of these finally....

I had to postpone my trip, so I have time to finish.

Just need the oil change and my hairs cut now.

Also got laundry done and hung and dried and folded...and cleaned my entire house.

went to my nephews wash state power lifting competition and 8 hours later he won the 242 lb class......and he is going to college the eastern part of state to be a firefighter.

Very poud Auntie moment! This was Wash state High School powerlifting competition!


He Rocked!

Pick up a new addition to My household at 11am!!

Do a bit of shopping which includes some more things for the new addition mentioned above.

Get together to celebrate My sister's bday

Was going to wash My vehicle- but I woke up to rain

Might add on some more things as the day goes on

Adding peppermint oil to the inside of the house for my few remaining pesty ants.

Make some green smoothies.

Chill.

Just lounge around and relax all day! I need it and supper is in the crockpot since 8 am, so by the time my bff gets here at 5pm it should be near done. It's pouring rain and the kind of day to just relax.:hangloose:

I was up and out early for a fundraiser 5k run/walk that was super cold and rainy. So... I did that - check.

That added an agenda item of getting home into warm dry clothes and flopping under a blanket for an hour.

Now time for errands. Later driving my kid around to and from work.

Intention is to add in some time under the blanket again with a book.
