Friday the 13th

My plans today (on my day off) were many leading up to a family "Christmas Birthday Friday the 13th Party" My Auntie She She from Cali is in town! I have been looking forward to this all week! I have been dragging everyday not getting the things done I want cause all I want is to sit on the couch. That is not the usual me and more importantly not how I want to be. Anyway, I got up and tried to keep moving forward. Did some stuff on the comp and got ready for my day. My comp has been squirrelly of late but got a weird. "You have a threat" on your comp message before I shut it down. I bagged it up to take for my Auntie to check out after the party.

I was most annoyed but it "kind of makes sense" moment when my period started 2 weeks and 4 days after the last one. (that was 2 weeks to the day from the one before that was the same) I really wanted to climb into bed and do nothing but did not allow myself. Maybe I should of. . . . .

I was on my way to Lake Oswego to the New Balance Store. I had to pick up the next pair of shoes Will (the Manager) had on hold for me. They are updating the model I wear and selling out the old one for half off so Will is hoarding 3 (now 2) pairs for me. It's good to be Diva. My oil warning light blinked on while driving to LO but did not stay on. That worried me so I wanted to find an Oil Can Henry's to have it checked. There is one farther down the freeway but I had to go back home to pick up my Wil for the party. He worked the morning shift. I remembered there was one in my 'hood so I finished my shoe biz and headed that way.

There was a line since we have a snow alert in the area. I was 20 minutes from starting my oil change. I went with that option since the last change was early October. I don't drive much so I go by the three month rule not miles. Turns out I was 2 out of 4 quarts low! I have a major oil leak out of my valve gasket - pooh. I called a couple of Volvo shops from my parents house and Swede 1 is the best price by $50! I have (despite snow on the Valley Floor by Sunday into Monday) an appointment for Monday morning (my next day off) to fix my Ethyl MeRM. I also had to get one headlight fixed during the oil change before a cop pulled me over and gave my a hefty ticket.

I suppose that was enough in a day for one Diva. The up side is my Dad's present and card arrived today. A vintage light up stained glass rooster. He loves it.
