We can build it, we have the technology...(15 days and counting)

I have decided to submit today's edition a little earlier than normal because I will be heading out with my friends, as is usual for a Friday night, and I am not sure if I will have the motivation to log on and write something after I get home.  Today has been a busy day.  From the very beginning it has been relatively nonstop go go go to try to begin tying up some loose ends.  It is all stuff that needed to get done so it is good to have finally checked off some items off of my list.

After waking up I had to take my brother to work.  This has become business as usual.  When I stopped working I had thought that I need not wake up early anymore, however I have now assumed the role of chauffeur for my brother.  It isn't like it is a terrible burden but nevertheless it is a bit of a pain traveling through some serious traffic to drop him off in the morning and pick him up n the afternoon.  I dropped him off today and I decided to drop my car of at my trusty repair station, by far the best one in Waltham, and have the car checked to make sure it is ready for the trip.  I thought that they would take a few days but I just heard from them a short time ago that it is ready.  I am pretty impressed with the guys at the shop.  I am also curious about how much the parts are going to cost me.  I used my old company and when I called to find out how much it was, I was told to call the owner.  I am not sure what is going on but I am thinking something absolutely amazing is about to happen.

After walking home from the repair shop, I immediately headed to my room to take on the third phase of my four phase master plan to clean and organize my room.  While everything has been going to my plan, my mother doesn't quite seem convinced that everything will be done on time and in order.  I spent two hours going through all of my books on the shelves, sorting through what I wanted to keep and those that should be donated.  I also dusted all of the books and shelves, there was so much dust it was kind of gross.  When all was said and done I had a box and a bag full of books to be donated and a room that is but a shell of its former self.  It is good to see it all in order.

When I was done with my room I went out with my mom to do some errands.  I picked up my new eyeglasses.  I haven't had new frames or lenses in about six years, so needless to say my old frames were so beat up it wasn't funny.  There isn't much change in my prescription but it is cool to have new frames for the new chapter in my life.  We went to the library, we went to the AT&T store only to find that my mother has no ability to use a smartphone though she could use to keep organized, we went to look at air conditioners and finally to Costco to look at flat screen TVs and the all important, milk.

The rest of the day has been catching up on other stuff that required my attention.  It hasn't been a day of great importance but still a necessary day in the grand scheme of things.  Let's see what tomorrow brings.
