Luke and I played and read this morning. During his nap I took garbage to the dump. This evening Uncle Matt and Miss Krystal came to stay with us on their way home from Michigan. Luke had fun playing with their little dog. I’ll try to get a picture of them together in the morning. We had pizza from the place in Spring Hill and it was pretty good. We were all on the back deck until the storms came.
This morning Luke and I played until ten. Then Liz took me to the mechanic to get her car. From there I drove to Monteagle. I got a few things done that I needed to then chatted with Eric at the Goat Market for a bit. I got home just as Luke was going to bed. Liz put him down early because he didn’t have a nap. I went to Kroger this evening for a few things.
The morning went pretty slowly. Luke and I read and played and it rained a whole lot. He had a very early lunch and nap. My parents came by just as he was waking up. He enjoyed reading lots of books with them. At four I texted the mechanic to see if Liz’s car was ready. At 4:30 I still hadn’t received a response so I called. He said hopefully tomorrow. That kind of throws my plans for tomorrow out of whack. Oh well, it is what it is. After Liz got off work we went to the nature park. It was extremely humid but Luke loved seeing tons of butterflies. We had pasta for dinner and Luke was a little late going to bed. I am now doing more work on my business website.
This morning Liz took Luke to speech therapy and I took her car to get repaired. I got there at nine and she came to get me a little after 10:30. Luke and I read and played before a late lunch and then nap. I was working on my business website when I got a call from the mechanic saying that he had a couple of things to show me. I drove over and he showed me where unidentified rodents had chewed through a bunch of wiring. He said that I needed to go to the Toyota dealership for replacements and that it would probably take a few day to get them. I did, and they told me that they couldn’t search Lexus parts, and that I needed to get the Lexus part number for them to be able to cross reference. Well, and hour of internet searching yielded nothing and so I finally went back to the counter and told a different guy that I was willing to take a risk and to just sell me the parts for a V6 Highlander. He looked at the parts I had brought in, then went and found me some used one in the back. He said they were from insurance repairs and wouldn’t let me pay for them. I took them back to the mechanic, who was quite impressed, but it turned out that we needed one more. So I returned to Toyota, got another, then dropped it off at the mechanic’s, just as he was closing. I was relieved to have that done, and he said he was still on track to be finished by end of day tomorrow. After dinner this evening I went to Target for some diapers and paper towels but they were out of the latter. Back at home I finished my book on Alexander the Great.
Luke is continuing to wake up super early, despite going to bed at a reasonable time. He spent some time outside with Liz this morning before it got too hot. After nap he finger painted on the front porch, then he and Liz made muffins. He sure loves that! This evening I am mostly just reading a book I got on Alexander the Great.
