stormdogI was too excited about feeling like I had a little time to myself again to go to bed at a reasonable hour last night. But I got up early this morning anyway to take advantage of the day.
I started by cleaning my car out thoroughly. I removed the seats, vacuumed, washed the dashboard and instrument panel, and cleaned out the glove box. I moved stuff like my three plush cetaceans and fuzzy dice over from Percy. I have a wind chime given to me by a former sweetie that I want to move too, but I haven't figured out where to put it yet.
I had a lunch of chicken alfredo pizza, then drove to the Wadsworth Pick N Pull to procure a replacment driver's seat. I checked out about a dozen Luminas and Monte Carlos with potentially compatible seats, looking for the cleanest one. I ended up going with the first one I looked at. The seat only cost me about $40. Looking at the receipt later, I think they may have charged me for a cheaper bucket seat instead of a bench seat which should have been about $10 more. Oops. It's a different color from the rest, but I don't care. It's another story to tell.
I started swapping the seat in in the parking lot, but an employee told me that car work, no matter how quick or minor, can't be done in their parking lot. So I popped my soon-to-be front seat into the back seat and drove off to Evanston. I'm still getting a back-ache from that broken seat, so I'll do the swap as soon as I get back to Kenosha. Or maybe even before, if tomorrow in Danae's parking lot seems like a good idea.
Tonight, I helped Danae get ready for her housewarming tomorrow, and I think I'm going to get to bed. I also spent a while trying to figure out how to make an animated GIF using a few shots I took of the car cleaning process. I finally figured it out, then realized that Flickr doesn't support animated GIFs. I guess I'll figure out what to do with it another time. It's getting late, and I'm really worn out. Tomorrow, I'll probably end up doing more reading on environmental sustainability of farmers markets before people arrive in the afternoon.
