A busy and fun day
Sunday, 11 January 2004, 11:56 PM ET


   Today was an interesting day. I had awakened to the sound of an incoming IM on my laptop at around 11:30. It was good, as I did not want to spend the day sleeping. So, after a while of laying there trying to get into reality, I finally collected the sense of what that noise was, what it meant, and what to do about it. So, I reached under the bed and pulled out the laptop. I had received an IM from someone on Yahoo who said they saw my profile and I came up as a match for them. I found that strange, since I have not touched Yahoo personals in a long time. So, at any rate I said hello back, but she replied not now, busy. Okay. So I continue with the morning task of getting out of bed and waking up. Thankfully I do not ache too much from baseball practice the day before. I guess the more you do it, the less of an impact it has on you. So, I shut down the laptop and get on the main 'puter to check email and what not. Then I got another IM back. We talked for a new minutes, where I confirmed that it was my Yahoo profile that she saw. Not long after, she had to go. Weird.

This is when I got the phone call. I had sent an email to Michelle the night before asking if she would like to try and resurect her Saturn form the parking garage today. She had replied to my email, and I sent a message back, but she ended up calling me before I finished up my spam purge and called her. So, I headed over there so we could head over to get the car.

It all went pretty well. In a nutshell, we jumped the car, brought it back, and went out to Wal-Mart for oil and filters (and a new taillight bulb), and stopped for lunch (Thanks for lunch!). I actually had fun at Wal-Mart too, as I like to just walk around and what not. It's a good time to just relax, walk around, and talk about things.

I had offered to change the oil and check the plugs. This car is very much like my old Saturn, so I felt quite comfortable with it, and even checked for some of the known problems that happen to them which I am aware of. It is in excellent shape, just needs a little spit and polish. But the battery needed a little more time to charge up. So, we let it run for a while and watched a little Cowboy Bebop. Afterwards, when I was unloading the truck, I noticed I had parked the bed door right underneath the garage door opener, so I took the opportunity to fix the loose bolts.

Basically, despite having a slight headache lingering around in my head for some strange reason, I had a wonderful day. And now, I think I am going to start thinking about hitting the sac a little earlyon time. Wait, too late for that. But I don't plan on making it much longer.
