Misc

No traffic on the way home from the pool until I got within a block. Ooops. I forgot about the Rock and Roll Marathon which is tomorrow but today is all manner of little runs with blocked off roads including the one leading to and into my garage!

It was not a problem (the building has stickers for our cars that tell the cops to let us through) - work around is fairly easy. It was just more of a surprise.

The new branch of my hair cutting place (Rudy's Barbershop) just is opening a few blocks from here for their first day of business in 20 minutes. Their online system let me check in for 10 am. YEAH!! So nice of them to open up a shop just for me.

My brother's new tech starts today and she is adorable. She is this teeny tiny little androgynous creature and she's wearing a bow tie!! I grabbed this picture off the web cam. My brother is so huge next to her and has so much more hair!



No word from Jeremy about the oven which is pissing me off more every minute. I'm really regretting letting them take my old oven yesterday. If no word when I get back from my hair cut, I'm on the phone.

Nothing else is really on tap for today. Sewing. Baseball. Knitting. Reading. The great novel I'm listening to ends tonight - sigh.

Up next...

The new Rudy's is really pretty and nicely done. It's not where I thought it was but across the street. The guy who did my hair was a bit fussy but not too bad and he did a nice job. I'm cool now, probably, until after Labor Day - hair cut wise, that is.

The walk there and back was really lovely, cool and breezy. The food trucks in the park were not that interesting and it was still too early anyway. Lunch, so far, is a mystery.

I called the appliance store when I got back to find out that Jeremy is out until Sunday. So I wrote a brief 'documentation' note to the store owner who responded nearly immediately and assured me he was aware of all the issues, they will fix every one, and they are sorry. Nice message and nice response time. No more oven talk until at least Sunday!

My tablet holder came and I'm delighted with the result. It's mounted with Command stickers so totally reversible if I decide I don't want it there. But for now, I think it's perfect.
