Oil change

Went over to my parents' house for my oil change (Dad insists on doing this so I let him). He used the last of my oil supply so he will get some more on sale. Sure I'll pay him for it when I get my tax refund check. Then just before the big curve before entering the town, I saw a fox. Haven't seen one by the road before. It came up to the gravel shoulder and ran away as I passed.

On the way there, I pawned my promise ring to get rid of it. I got $14 for it, $1 for city fee so it was $15 originally. Dad said those pawn shops pay 1/10th of an item's value so he who shall not be named paid plenty for it. It is 10k gold and 1/10 carat diamond on top so I am sure he didn't pay more than $100 for it. Probably got it at Walmart. The guy weighed it saying the ring is all gold and no weight from the diamond. Oh well, it's gone like him. Ta ta.

Tree branches still cover the town park and everyone's yard. Someone built a manufactured home next to my parents' house, but no one has moved in yet. I dropped their and my brother's Christmas presents so I didn't have to drag them over later. I said not to open them until Christmas. Saw Dad's new jukebox he bought to hear music as he works in the basement, but needs another person to help lift it so it sits unplugged in the living room. My wimpy muscles don't qualify as help. Mom gave me a willow basket for my stuff animal collection. The label said "laundry basket" but too small to hold much laundry. Let's just say it could hold 2 days worth of clothes, maybe 3. But perfect for stuffed animals. My stuffed animals got squeezed in so the larger ones have only their heads sticking out. The cats jumped in it and then jumped out. They prefer the top of the cupboards anyway.

And guess what was in the parking lot when I came home, the mail van at 7 PM. Must be a lot of mail for them to be at it this late at night. That's Christmas for you. Well, nothing more to add. Post later. Bye!
