Gearing up for Party Weekend
May. 30th, 2008 09:26 pmIt was an errandy day. (Hey, "errandy" is a word in Medieval Welsh, after all.) On my lunch hour I picked up the check from Toyota refunding my useless deposit, so now I'm officially free of any consequences of going elsewhere. The dealership in Vacaville claims in its on-line inventory to have two red Priuses, although it doesn't include a mention of the interior color or which options package they include. (I can make guesses from the listing price, though.) After the weekend I may wander up there and see what's up.
Then I took off from work early for a hearing test at Kaiser (the last item from my Major Tune-up ... uh ... checkup). I seem to have passed the test with an A-minus. The usual minor loss of certain frequencies, but evidently the tinnitis doesn't interfere with tone discrimination under test conditions. Kaiser was once again startlingly efficient: I was out the door again within 15 minutes of having arrived. This meant that technically I could have gone back to work and still had maybe 20 minutes before my usual quitting time, but it hardly seemed worth the bother. So instead I swung by the credit union to deposit the Toyota check then finished (most of) the food shopping for the party. (I still have to pick up disposable plates and napkins; I didn't get the ice cream this time because it would have sat in the car while I was working out; and I'm leaving the shrimp for the BBQ skewers to pick up Sunday morning so they'll be fresh.)
I decided not to start the food prep this evening, in hopes of getting to bed at a reasonable hour. Instead i'll be organizing the various recipes to make sure I don't forget anything. (If I don't make up a full flow-chart, I have this annoying habit of forgetting entire planned dishes on occasion.)
