Happy Thursday. I don’t understand how a week goes so fast when I literally don’t really do anything. Well, —- except go here and go there taking care of appointments etc. But here it is Thursday already so I guess we will just dal with it. 

It has been an easy morning but now I’m waiting for the Walgreens lunch hour to be over so I can go pick up Ms. Kate’s prescription. (See, that where my days go, doing stuff like that, which aren’t really anything but take up time.) Then I need to run by Walmart grocery and pick up a couple of things. 

Tuesday, (I think) I took my truck to my friend’s auto repair shop to get a new battery. I couldn’t believe how much batteries cost these days. My battery I replaced was bought in 2019 and was a “75 month” battery so it lasted its allotted time of 6.25 years. I don’t remember what I paid for that battery but the new one cost me $235.00 including labor for installation. I knew it would be high because as you might recall I replaced batteries in both John Deere’s this past fall and they were over $60.00 each. I have no idea what the “big cost element” is in making a battery but obviously something is. That’s why when my Prius hybrid gets another 20,000 miles on it I’m going to trade it in before I have to replace that hybrid battery in it. I’m told that comes with a 2000 dollar cost. But, my plan is to give my truck to my grandson Jon and this way he will have a great battery in it. I’m just waiting for him to get settled in to a lineman’s job somewhere. 

We took Ms. Kate for an appointment with one of her cardiac doctors and they verified she is in AFIB. She has an appointment now for another cardioversion on the 20th of February to shock her heart back into rhythm. I think this will be her sixth time for this procedure. Bless her heart. (Literally)

Our snow is 99.5% gone now. The piles from shoveling are diminishing each day. Even the ones in the parking lots are melting pretty well. Our current weather is a little cold but normal for us for a February, and when the snow melted, the daffodils were waiting to be seen. That’s makes me very happy. It tells me that a there really will be a spring again this year. A couple of weeks we weren’t really so sure. LOL

With that, it is time to head down the road to Walgreens. Then I need to get back here and do some writing. I pray God grants you a wonderful day and rest of your week. Peace.
