The keys remind me of high school typing class. (It was a cheap school district.)

They are re-purposed vintage typewriter keys. Awesome detail photos visible here:

That’s what we had but that was even years before IBM came out with the first Selectric typewriter.

I’m headed out to Busdaddy’s, taking my laundry. We are going to Pahrump (65 miles west, over the Spring Mountains) to look at trucks tomorrow. I hope he buys one. I’m tired of using up my gas. I need to make sure I have plenty for Monday, for my doctor appointment.

And I’m also hoping the part comes in before Wednesday. The permit runs out at midnight on Sunday, but I can’t cancel the doctor’s appointment on Monday.

I got a call last night (I hate late night calls) from the agency who provides the aide, and they TOLD me she was coming Monday morning. NOT! I said, “Wednesday,” as I’m stuck here until the lock is changed, and if I have to, I will go back to DMV on Tuesday for another permit.

And my food is running low again...going over to Busdaddy’s is costly because I take portable food. Here, at least I have access to my pantry and freezer until I can shop again. I hate thinking of spending another $20 on a second permit, but it looks like that is what is going to happen.

Time to load up. Sparkle has been fed and watered and has enough to last until Sunday, if need be. I want to be back on Saturday. I’m so selfish with my weekends. I don’t have to deal with anything or anyone. Unless the Whiner calls...

Anyway, I’ll see you later.
