Today I thought that after we finished all the morning things we do to get ready for the day that I would be able to work on the budget this afternoon but I was wrong.
I laughed because Larry and I were hugging for a while this morning and he sat up and said do you mind if I watch Donald Trumps speech to the CPAC so we ended up watching that for the entire time of the speech. I know some people don't agree but it makes me feel good to see some of the changes he is making because I want them for our country but I don't think I am strictly a nationalist like he is.
Nathan went to his gym this morning and when he got back he went to talk to the office about the fact that they had come and taken the microwave that they loaned us while ours was being fixed. He also got the mail when he was there and Larry got a letter from AAA saying that it was time to renew and he insisted that we drive the half hour up to their office on 281 and get it fixed. So we did. I told him that I only wanted to do that and take him to get a haircut because I wanted to work on the bills and he understood.
Unfortunately for some reason the traffic in San Antonio was heavier than usual at 1:30 p.m. IH35 south was blocked for about 2 miles with slow traffic and IH410 west was also lined up solid so after we went to AAA Texas we determined to go home another way by IH1604 which wasn't a bad idea but there were places that it was blocked and slow also. But we made good time until we got to FM 78 that we live on.
I had to go to the bathroom so we stopped at Walmart we spent about 45 minutes there looking for a slinky for Isaac because Nathan wants to get him one to replace the one he had that Maggie tangled up for him. Then we remembered that we needed a picture frame to replace the one that had been broken and we wanted to get some frozen Mango because it comes in bigger packages there. We scored 2 of the 3 and decided to get the slinky online. Larry took his walker with him and he walked all around Walmart with no problem. The guy that fitted him for his compression socks told him that he needed to walk more or the socks would not be comfortable and he really took him at his word. I was pleased that his legs were not swollen when I helped him take them off tonight.
We came out of Walmart and headed west on FM 78 and the traffic was backed up for an accident. It took us 20 minutes to go about 2 blocks so by the time I got him to great clips and back home it was about 4:00 p.m. I was able to work on the budget for about an hour before it was time to make dinner.
Luckily they listened to Nathan and brought us another microwave that works so when we got back we had a microwave that worked. Last night when we got home the one they loaned us was gone so we thought that they had fixed ours and taken that one but when I got up this morning and tried to warm up a breakfast sandwich for Nathan it came out ice cold like before.
I fixed hamburgers for dinner and we watched three episodes of Bones and then we went in to read scriptures and pray together. Larry had got really cold so he told me that he was going to bed with his clothes on but after the air conditioner quit and I turned up the temperature setting on the dial it warmed up and he finally got up and got ready for bed. The thermostat in this apartment is not accurate and it is often frustrating trying to keep it a comfortable temperature. It was 83 today in San Antonio so it would be natural to have the air conditioner on but it was colder inside than it needed to be even though it was set to 75.
