Testing lungs and car...

susandennisI'm thinking breakfast at Denny's will enable me to test my car and my lungs. It's not far from here and I'm sure it will be open. I want to see if the car will start and if it does, if that pesky light comes on. The internets, last night, told me to double check the gas cap. I filled up yesterday and am pretty sure I got the cap on correctly but getting it on incorrectly apparently guarantees check system lights. (Although, it won't explain the weird transmission issue but maybe it was really temporary.)
I did find out that the service center is always closed on Sundays and Mondays anyway.
Denny's is also on flat land so I can stroll around a block or two after breakfast and see how my lungs are working today. I did notice, oh so gratefully, that when I snuggled in last night, I was amazed at how absolutely normal my breathing was. This morning seems fine but often sitting and computing feels fine and then getting up and walking a half a block is an entirely different story.
So this morning, it's Denny's on the menu. And then it will be trying not to stress if either test fails or wallowing in the victory of passing both tests...
I do have one big todo today. The top drawer of my bedside table. It is full to the gills with junk. All of that junk will get moved/tossed or organized today. I want to be able to open that drawer and easily reach for what I want, not stick my hand in a pile o crap and be grateful when I get that hand back uninjured.
Then I will knit and either watch TV or listen to one of my latest books (2030: The Real Story of What Happens in America by Albert Brooks and Bottom of the 33rd by Dan Barry).
When you don't 'do' football, you have a lot of free time this time of year.
Good plans all. For when I get out of bed. Which has not happened yet. But might. In a little bit. Maybe.
