Day 42

I got up fairly early this morning. I just didn't feel like sleeping in.

I called about getting the mower fixed. They wanted me to bring it in and they'll fix it in 3 or 4 weeks. It sounded stupid to me, but I don't have any choice. So I loaded it in the truck and drove it over. Unfortunately the ramps I bought are barely long enough to use if I can back up the truck to a slope.

Then we loaded up the truck with the washer, a light fixture, and some other junk that the previous owners left. It cost $20 to leave it at the "recycle" center. It was really just a transfer station.

The station was in Bee Cave. So we stopped at the mall and did some Christmas shopping. We also stopped at Lowe's and bought some curtains.

When we got home I put up the curtains in the apartment's small bedroom and living room. They look OK. Not great, but OK.

After dinner we attended the neighborhood association's annual meeting. There were six people there including us. They have trouble getting the board members to attend. The big issue was getting people to vote on increasing the dues.

Sears finally called about the dishwasher. They'll be here tomorrow "sometime between 8 and 5".
