Busy week, but I still got into trouble.....

This week was a very busy week.  At one point, not too long ago, I had nothing planned after Easter except to get ready for Fancy Gap.  But this was my week:

Monday was the only day without an appointment of some kind.

Tuesday I had to take the van into L. C. Autobody.  I had babied the van all winter long with an aging battery.  But I decided that before I head to the mountains I would get a new battery in the van.  I did not want to get on my peaceful mountaintop and find a dead battery.  I am sure I could have gotten help, but I prefer to be proactive.

Wednesday I took the Elantra to the dealer for inspection.  They do a free inspection for all of my cars/trucks as long as I own the Elantra, but the van also gets free inspections from where I bought it and I trust L.C. with the truck, so I just pay for the truck inspection.  Anyway, with under 30,000 miles for a 2010 Elantra, it needed nothing but a blown license plate light.  The Elantra is staying at home for this trip and the inspection would have run out while I was gone... so I can get back and not worry about inspections.

Thursday was a very busy day.  I went to a lunch meeting of PABA.  I have not been to a meeting for over a year, but they are trying really hard to do new things, so I wanted to see if it was new.  It was being held at the VFW and instead of the 4 or 5 people when I was there, they had about 25, so they are making strides.  Still not sure I want to be involved, but it was nice seeing everyone and meeting some new and interesting members

From there I drove to my dermatologist where he removed a small growth on my thigh and a larger growth on my nose.  I was concerned about the thigh one as it had started as a freckle kind of thing and had begun to mound, so while it was the size of a pinhead, I had it removed.  The nose growth was much bigger, so I decided to have it removed so it could be healed by my reunion.  I am so happy to not see it on the tip of my nose.  The doctor is having both of them tested.  I will hear this week and no news is good news.

That night was Lions.  The good thing is that I will miss the next three meetings, so it might be the break that I need, although I doubt it.

Friday I had a haircut.  I went to a lovely young lady I met at the PABA meeting.  She is about the age of my oldest child.  She is bubbly and adventurous, and her daughter's name is Jane.  I sat in on a meeting of a group of people who are trying to get a "First Friday" going for the summer in Parkesburg.  And now I think I may be part of the group.  They will have to get the first one done without me.  Anyway, Erin trimmed my hair so I would be ready to head out to Fancy Gap and for fun, she 'stained' my hair with a bright maroon coloring.  Now, we did not use the pre-lightening as I really did not want to damage my hair with that, so we experimented by just applying the color.  It was not as vibrant (fine with me) and it was only done like a highlight (also fine with me).  It will fade to a lighter pink color and will likely be gone by the reunion, but for now, I love the looks from friends who have not seen this side of me.  Tomorrow at church will be a hoot.

Not the best picture of me, as I have not mastered selfies yet, but what do you think?
