What unusual coloring that little floof has!

How are you this morning? Did you sleep well last night?

Will this be another busy day for you?

Christina is supposed to come and color my hair this morning. I was going to put the permanent in but I’m just too tired to deal with it. (Relapse, which is why my brain is once more filled with gray lint.) So I figured I’d let her color it, and then Monday, I’d go someplace and get it cut so the curl comes back. Then, after the color is mostly gone, I’ll put the permanent in. It may be in another state, but oh well.

I made comparisons on the truck rental companies that offer car haulers and these are the results for 154 miles:

Penske $911 (With my AAA discount!)
U-Haul $387
Budget $294

Same equipment, same mileage.

The storage unit is $107.

Now all I need is a definite date.

Good morning. The kitten lives in Ukraine. I’m okay this morning, slept reasonably well, but Jake was ready for me to be up. I was just sitting outside with him for a few minutes, listening to the grackles griping, when a hummingbird buzzed up, checked the feeders, and buzzed off irritably. So now I’m boiling water to make sugar syrup to refill the feeders. I confess that didn’t cross my mind this week, although I did have Tom refill the seed feeders.

Yes, today will be busy, too. We have the Spanish Charismatic Women’s Retreat this morning, 8-11, and then I have practice for Sunday Mass with Manuel y Asuncion. PatJamesVlad are leaving for Boy Scout Camp tomorrow, so the afternoon will be devoted to gathering whatever they’re missing for their packing. Also, I’ll run the dishwasher today.

I hope your hair coloring and cut goes well. I plan to go to the nail salon next week, on some day when Tom is at home to supervise Frank and Kathleen. Frank has several social events scheduled while his brothers are away.

Make sure when you are checking rental rates that they’re quoting the ‘rent it here, leave it there’ price, not the ‘rent it here, drive it around for 150 miles, and bring it back to them’ price.

Unless you are really planning to bring it back to them... ;-)

And what are the ‘optional but you’d better get it’ prices. You know, like insurance and such.
