Off to Les Schwab for the truck's two back wheels, for the brakes, several parts that might cost around $200 to $500, might be over $300, plus labor could be around $200 to $400, they ended up charging us almost $800 and they added air to the car's flat tire which we gave them last time, eight days ago on a Friday, but that flat went flat within a day even with a cheap mushroom patch. This time, they may have done something more or maybe not. But they said 2 hours. So, I walked with mom to Walmart, I took a few photos. No plants or nothing mom wanted at that moment. Was lightly raining outside for a few minutes here and there, the sun came out after noon. Mom got a 128 GB thumb drive for transferring photos and what not. We looked to get mom new glasses, but she doesn't know her prescription, they wanted to do the air pressure test but she doesn't want to. She doesn't like it. But they follow protocol. So, we may try to go Pearl or whatever in Olympia to see if they have her prescription info since she was there last time some years ago. I looked around at Goodwill, saw some electronics, camcorders, no VCRs. Mom stopped by Fred Meyers. We went to the Dollar Tree, more like the Sometimes Dollar Tree now as most items are at least $1,25. Plastic containers there are $5. Many items are over $2 plus taxes. Mom got tooth brushes. Mom got a giant flashlight that took me a minute to install. I missed a call, the truck is ready around 11:40 AM. We argued about the fastest route back, I said a straight path is faster than a seven shaped route, as the crow flies as they say, we had to make it to the intersection near Walmart. We drove to the gas station closes to Walmart to see if it takes cash, mom went in and talked to the lady, we saw help wanted signs, so I took an application. Home around 01:00 PM. Some hail for a second. Some sun. The reset thing for the TPMS for the car came. Lunch: 01:48 PM. Worked on the TPMS thing. Shower around 04:00 PM, feeling better but also deep in thought about finding time for work but also careers and hobbies. If I worked at $20/hr, 50 hours a week, that's a thousand dollars a week, 4K a month, say 40K if ten months a year. But at the same time, I don't want to live that kind of life. Off to church at 06:30 PM, church at 07:00 PM. Saw like a baby learning to walk. Mom saw a guy talk with music, she thought that was too emotional, so we went home. Somebody was parked behind me, so mom helped me sneak out through a crack on the side, I was impressed, mom decided not to stop by Walmart for food, home around 08:20 PM instead of like 09:00 PM. Dinner: 08:25 PM. Dishes at 09:00 PM to around 10:10 PM, eating and drinking too around 09:30 PM while washing dishes and watching Star Trek Next Generation with mom, 3 episodes, which reminds me of when I would record STNG on my VCR in PDX in 2008 and 2009 along with The View and American Next Top Model with Tyra Banks and Law & Order SUV or SVU and maybe Charlie Rose sometimes and those were the top five or so shows I really wanted to record, STNG was on at 1 AM, I would get home from Kells around 2 AM sometimes. I enjoyed watching these shows during that era. Today, first episode was of Barkley having his fantasies in the holodeck, I said he is a holo-holic. Not alcoholic. He had fake versions of people he had issues with. He had a love life with the counselor. He figured out how to stop the Enterprise from going too fast. Next, Data explodes. No, but he did in the last movie, Nemesis, in 2002. But he was kidnapped. I remember both episodes. Next episode, Data plays violin, Spock's dad cried. Spock is almost like his son. Not really but Data is the show's version of Spock. Sorted through papers, boxes, to 11:40 PM, startled mom as she was resting. It was mostly Bill Cunningham's taxes from 1998 to like 2001 or a few random years around that time. Food log: Breakfast: coffee, scrambled eggs was good, Breakfast: 09:00 AM. Lunch: salad mom brought home yesterday, 01:48 PM. Fish, 02:00 PM. Dinner: yogurt, 08:25 PM. Baked pizza bagel was delicious while hot, coffee, tea, 09:30 PM.
