Car Wash

Another sweltering hot day in the Big City. Hotter than Hades no doubt. It was a perfect day to get the car washed (which of course means that it will rain tomorrow). We went to the hand car wash on Damen and Bryn Mawr. It takes about 10 minutes for a wash, wax, and tire cleaning. AND it only costs $12.00. Totally worth it... You get to read the latest issue of Newsweek or any of the entertainment mags while you wait. Perfect.

The car looks like new, and can you believe it folks? I am still in organizational mode after a brief lapse last week! The kitchen is almost clean again, the car gassed, Mt. Laundry dwindling, and the litter boxes are scooped! I'm going to do another couple of loads tonight to get caught up. Just call me Ms. Domestic!

Oh, and I also cooked tonight - Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and Peas - a staple meal of the Fakes/Dever household.

Helen is still not home with us, and I guess I've sort of been preparing for her eventual arrival. She saw the vet today and still has a heart murmur (sometimes they are misdiagnosed), and we still don't know the severity of it until she gets an ultrasound. They can't tell me when she will be able to get the ultrasound because they have to wait until several cats need it before they will schedule one. A vet has to come in with the machine. I could do it myself, but it costs several hundred dollars. Worst case scenario is that she has a serious heart condition that will require daily medication. I don't mind medicating her at all, but I do want to know how serious it is. Keep your fingers crossed for Helen! Hopefully it is just a minor murmur.

Tonight it is laundry, studying and reading for me. I'll probably sleep on the futon again tonight if it is too hot in our apartment. Our bed is too small when it is terribly hot. So much for our dinky window air-conditioner! I'm thinking a house with central air is sounding very very good for the near future...
