Before Mom got up, I took a box of bottles to the Post Office to mail to Yuma, Arizona.
I also finished the job of cleaning the baseboard heaters -- blowing the dust and hair out with the reverse air part of the vacuum cleaner, and then using the vacuum cleaner to suck it up. Mom has two hoses -- one for the hard wood nozzle and one (with an electric cord) for the carpet cleaner. I could put one in the vacuum exhaust, to blow, and the other in the normal intake, to suck, and blow into the top of the baseboard units while sucking up anything that came out of the bottom at the same time.
We took a urine sample to the medical lab for Mom, a check to the bank, a letter to the Post Office, and Mom's car to a Goodyear shop to have the brakes fixed.
When we took the car in for an oil change, their recommendation was to have the shoes and pads replaced and the rotors and drums resurfaced. Calling around, this would take at least 4 hours. With Mom not getting up before around noon, or at least not getting ready for the day before around noon, it seemed unlikely we could take the car over, have it serviced, and bring it back in one day. But by taking it over in the afternoon, they could keep it overnight, work on it in the morning, and call us to have it picked up in the afternoon.
Left-over Chinese food for dinner. We may have one more day of this, but we are running low on milk and other staples, so we will need to do grocery shopping tomorrow.
