Today I took a squinty picture of myself first thing in the morning, because I was going to take pictures of all the things all day long! And then I didn’t take all the pictures, but I did do a bunch of other stuff.

About the time I sat down to write about The Other Stuff, though, my mom — who’d left her truck here while she visited my brother — came back. The friend she rode with dropped her off, and a few minutes later she hopped in her truck to go home. And the truck wouldn’t start. We spent a bit trying to get the jumper cables to do their magic, but it didn’t work.

That adventure pretty well sapped my will to write, so here’s a little listy-list about our day:

I took my loratadine (generic Claritin. Generitan!) and my daily vitamin.

The misbehaving cat got out, and I just let him go.

I cleaned the kitchen, because it was clean-the-kitchen day on my list of cleaning things.

The kids did their schoolwork.

I did a lot of laundry, and I watched “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” while I folded it.

The kids spent a ton of time outside.

The kids had tae kwon do.

Poppy had soccer practice right after tae kwon do.

The cat came back and meowed at me through the screen. So I let him come back in.

Poppy had an American Heritage Girls meeting.

We had omelets for dinner.

The kids went to bed.

I watched TV.

I tried and failed to make a truck start.

I folded more laundry.

This morning I’ll be trying to figure out how to remove a battery from a truck so I can take it to the auto parts store. Can I do it? Will the truck ever start? Did I ever finish folding all the laundry? Tune in tomorrow!
