It's Going to be a VERY Busy Morning - NOT a Relaxing "Day Off"

Today is a crazy, busy day. It's my "day off", but ... yeah ... did I say busy? I start out at the swimming pool, of course because it's a Wednesday. It's also a trash pick-up day, so I've already loaded up the bin, ready to take it to the curbside as I leave the house. 

Today isn't a trash and recycling bin day, just trash. So I'll 
be putting our larger bin out to the curb, but the smaller 
recycling bin can stay in the garage for another week. Trash 
bins must be within three feet of the curb for pickup. 

When I get home from the gym, I'll drop off my things, grab my purse, and head over to my car dealership for an overdue checkup, oil change and tire rotation appointment. Hopefully they won't find anything expensive to deal with, but I'm a bit fearful that I might need a new set of tires, and that would be very expensive indeed. Still, it is what it is. Necessity must. 

I'm hoping that my tire tread is sufficient 
to get me through the next 6-12 months. 
I really can't spare the time (or expense) 
of getting a new set of tires, but I have 
a sinking feeling it might be necessary. 

After I get home from the car dealership, I can actually start my day ... EXCEPT ... I have an 11:00 am appointment with Leaf Filter to get an estimate on what it would cost to get it installed and done. The backyard gutter is the most important, that's the one that rises two stories high, so cleaning it is very difficult and somewhat dangerous. But we would, eventually, like all of the gutters done. DH has looked at their color choices and thought one of them wouldn't be bad for us. I'm much more concerned about just getting it done. 

We really need our gutters covered, and have finally 
made up our minds on Leaf Filter instead of 
Gutter Helmet. (It's been a long haul for DH to 
actually decide on this.) So, I meed with them 
today at 11:00. That'll be a tight squeeze 
even without new tires put onto Minion. Add 
tires, and I might run late for the appointment, 
something I can't have happen. 

Finally, after all of that, I can start my usual Wednesday chores. I already have my first load of laundry in the washer, but I'll have 1-2 additional loads to do (time depending), and I'll need to do the weekly main grocery shop. No outlying grocery outlets for me today. I'm sticking with my local and main store. Somewhere in all of this, I'll need to actually eat some breakfast and a spot of lunch, and, of course, make dinner. Oh, and I'll have my weekly conversation with Aearwen - an island of sanity in an insane day. 

I need to be an island of sanity in a sea of chaos today. 
It's a crazy, busy morning, and somehow it all has 
to click into place without hesitations or stumbling 
blocks. I can hope for the best. 

So that's my "quiet day off". What's your day going to be like - LOL? Whatever lies ahead of you today, I hope it's a good one and I'll be back tomorrow for a "restful" day at work. Slava Ukraini.
