Part two of my crazy weekend

I had big plans this weekend. Sell some old video game consoles & old games, catch up on my cleaning & some budget paperwork, replace a remote control, rest, buy a new laptop as my old one is not only older technology but it will most meet the minimum specs of a couple programs I want to add & run on it. I was hoping to get a few of these things done yesterday but after spending all day having my car repaired I did not get anything done except the dishes & some laundry.

Today would turn out to be just as disappointing in many ways. My truck that was stolen was returned to me and it has been sitting on the street without plates. I received a notice from the city that is a violation of the law & if it was not moved by noon today they would tow it. I had to make sure I could fit my truck in the garage of the couple I rent from and keep their mini-van outside. Their mini van is old and I drove it around a couple times to make sure the battery was charged & working. While in the kitchen I discovered a leak under the kitchen sink and cleaned up a mess & put a bowl under it. I eyed laptops while at Best Buy and decided to wait a week or so to see if any of the laptops I like will go on sale. Bought a new remote from Best Buy but upon arriving home I discovered it was not compatible with my cable box. After playing with the old remote it managed to work so the new remote will need to be returned some time this week.

I walked an hour to a bus stop to catch a bus that drop me off at my mechanic's so I could pick up my car. Upon arriving home I watched a little football and grew tired. After laying down I could not fall asleep but rested a bit and surfed the web for more lap top deals before realizing I needed to call my insurance company get my vehicle insured, eat dinner, visit a video game store to see if they buy used consoles & games, buy some groceries, visit a FedEx to print updated insurance cards. By the time all those things had been done it was about my bedtime. Where I realized I did not accomplish most of what I wanted to do but it was a very busy & very full day!
