Running Errands

My mom left for work early this morning and left a list of errands for my Dad to do today. It's a typical list, go to the bank and deposit money, pay some bills at the Hannaford's customer service desk, and a stop at Lowe's. Getting ready to leave the house Dad grabs his keys and the list and we head down stairs (Jake and I tag along to help)......we get downstairs and he says "Where's my car?" NO, he's not kidding! I just looked at him. It takes him a few seconds and he says, "Ohhhhh" realizing who had the car.

So I wave my keys and we are off and running. I'm backing out of the driveway and my Dad says "Oh, I forgot my cigarettes!" while feeling his pockets. I say "Too bad, you can't smoke in my car anyways" He says "But what am I going to do??" I say, "You will live" while maneuvering my car into traffic to get this list of errands done. He says "No problem, when we get to the store, I'll bum a cigarette off someone". I roll my eyes and shake my head.

So we head over to the bank first, zipping thru the drive thru was pretty easy, no lines, no waiting. Then hopped over to Lowe's for some insect killer stuff since we have a bee's nest that appeared on the ceiling of the first floor porch. That stuff actually works! There was a hole on the of the wood beams and there were some little powder of wood on the porch. So Dad sprayed that bug stuff in there and two huge bees fell out of the wooden hole right then and there dead. So Dad's plan is to change that piece of wood later to a pressure treated wood.

For the rest of the day we watched TV. Mom came home with the "missing car" and I headed out with her to cancel my Gold's Gym membership and stopped at McDonald's for an iced tea. So it was a productive day. Alot of times I'm happy to be home (instead of working) to keep an eye on my folks. Some of the things they say and do make me nervous, but it's nothing serious yet, just pre-senile moments that pop up here and there.......Just another typical day for me. You never know what going to happen to tomorrow so check back :) Have a nice day!
