Shopping, Gardening, and Scrappy Socks

Monday
We went to the car dealership. We thought we were picking up our car, but the trailer hitch wasn’t
installed, and they changed their story about financing. We left the car there, and they will install the trailer hitch. Next week, we hope to pick up the car and pay in cash.

Tuesday
We decided it was time to get back in the exercise routine. So, we went to the senior center and walked for an hour. Then, we went to Costco and bought lots of things we really didn’t need but wanted. In the evening, I went to my knitting group.

Wednesday
We went to the senior center and walked in the morning. When I got home, I did some yard work since it is expected to rain for the next few days. Then I spent most of the day working on my scrappy sock and watching videos. After dinner, we watched movies on Prime Video.

Thursday
After walking in the center, we went to the Apple Store. I picked up my new MacBook Pro that I bought online last week. Then I talked Don into buying a new Apple Watch (Series 11). He has been needing a watch for a long time because his watch would die in the middle of the day. It was a Series 2, so I think he was past due for a new watch. As soon as we got home, I set up my new computer. Meanwhile, we mowed the lawn to get it ready for the Easter egg hunt on Sunday. It took several hours to migrate my data from my old computer to the new one, so this was a good use of our time. In the afternoon, my friend came over to give me a cover for Don’s watch that she had on hand, and then I migrated Don’s data from his old computer to my old computer (his new one now).

Friday
I worked in the yard some more and then spent the rest of the day knitting on my scrappy sock. I finished one, and I really like how it turned out. I couldn’t wait to start the other one. Don is happy with his new computer. I figured that his old one was about 8 years old, and the one he is using is now 3 years old, so he will be able to use it for a few more years until I get another new one.

Saturday
It was a rainy morning, so we went to Walmart because a lot of people woke up and it got crowded. Then I had to help Don set up some things with the computer. In the afternoon, I was on Zoom with my knitting friends and finished the foot and heel of my second scrappy sock.

It’s been a very productive week!
