It never fails. We get down to one vehicle and something goes wrong. I was halfway to town when the dash started dinging and I saw the car had overheated. I pulled over quickly, let it sit for a while, then opened the hood to nearly all the fluid in the antifreeze reservoir gone. I waited until the car cooled off a little more, turned the heat up full blast and drove the rest of the way to the store while Zach watched the needle like a hawk. We made it there, fine, with no further overheating. I checked the oil and we were down a quart so I got oil and two jugs of antifreeze, filled up to the requisite levels and we were fine.
Still, it was a scary thing since we were out in the country, miles from any stores or anything. I had tried to call Tom but he wasn't answering his page.
The book I was trying to find in the library is eluding me. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time locating the books in this series. That's the third book that hasn't been shelved where it's supposed to be. I know some people of the religious right persuasion think they're doing their god a favor by keeping others from reading certain books and I would consider this just a case of mis-shelving if I hadn't had to do this for the third time. So I'm stuck and can't read anymore Sookie Stackhouse books until the next one shows up. I really don't want to make a trip back to town since it cost me nearly $60 to fill up the minivan.
I finished up the back of the sport yarn cardigan and got going on the front. I should get back to the other two sweaters as well, but the worsted weight is hard on my hands because it's cheap yarn and I just don't love the sleeves on the other one. I resisted buying a pound of Caron Simply Soft at the store because I have to use up my stash for a while. Plus...tightwadding, remember?
I'm completely wiped out in spite of not doing a lot today. Damned fatigue! Supper tonight will be breakfast for Zach and me and beef stew in a can for Tom. Just too tired to do anything more. Especially as Zach is cooking "breakfast."
Off to go put my feet up and do some knitting.
