Slow Progress

was made today.... it was just one of 'those days'.  I stopped at Walmart to try and find out why hubby's refill was cancelled ( case of right hand not necessarily knowing what the  left hand is doing - like prescribing his pill for 10 mg once a day when he's been taking 20 mg twice a day).  Then I bought the interfacing and green fabric I need for the Project Quilting Challenge 11.2... yes, the fabric is poly cotton but it's not going in a quilt so I'm not worried about it.

Then, I left Walmart with the intention of going to the post office to re-send a Christmas card to Scotland after some 'fool' returned it as incomplete address. 
As I'm turning off one road and onto the one that will take me downtown close to the post office, I hear the car making a 'rubbing' noise ... then lights started coming on on my dash and there's two messages taking turns blinking at me... one was telling me that the right tire pressure is low ( it does that whenever the weather gets cold(er) .. I usually just wait for the weather to warm back up a little and it goes away)... the second one is the one that was scaring me... it said something about check brake system and there was a symbol telling me it was the ABS (automatic brake system) and then another one showing a triangle with swerve lines on it). 
Since I was close to the shop where I take our car for repairs, I stopped there and went in and told them what was going on... Rod  ( the owner and a bit of a smart alec, said he had a hammer) but then had Chris ( my favorite mechanic and about the only one who works on my car) come look at it. 
.It's the ABS and nothing to get stressed about; it's either the line that goes from one wheel to the other or it's the sensor in the right wheel; either way, it's not that expensive and I still have my brakes.  He said to make an appointment and he'd get it taken care of.

Now that I knew it was safe to drive, I went on to the post office and talked to one of the clerks behind the counter and explained the situation.  I had sent my friend in Scotland a Christmas card which had come back last Friday marked as incomplete address.  I got a hold of my friend and showed her the address I had put on the envelope and asked if I had screwed it up... she said "no" it was correct and that probably some English(er) person who didn't know what they were doing was the one who marked it 'return to sender'.  I thought I'd probably have to buy an envelope and another international stamp to resend the card, but the clerk peeled off the sticker the English(er) put on and then took a sharpie and blacked out the upc code ( or whatever they call  it) and put it in the out box.  Hope it makes it this time.

After that, I really wasn't in the mood to sew.... but finally got myself in there about 4... and it was a struggle... I had an 'earworm' of the song from the 60's about Henry the 8th that wouldn't go away and then I made a couple of mistakes with today's bunny... one, I fixed.. another one I didn't. 

He/she's a cute bunny anyway; not their fault they are 'defective'... doesn't lessen their cuteness.
(that's my story and I'm stickin' to it lol)

And, on that note, I'm calling it a night... I was so focused on finishing this bunny that I ended up having to call for someone to deliver dinner for us because it was after 6 and I wanted to finish this darned (cute) bunny.

take care....
