Reward!

I have had a day of running around doing stuff for vehicles. First I had to take the 4Runner in this morning to get a new windshield. A rock hit the windshield when we were on our way home from the Outer Banks last weekend and by the time we got home, there was a crack halfway across the windshield. It probably would not have passed inspection like that, so I went ahead and had it fixed now since I probably won’t have as much time to deal with it once school starts.

Then I went to Lowes to find something to put under my center stand for my scooter. Now that it’s hot, the stand is sinking into the asphalt of my apartment parking lot. I don’t care about the holes I’m putting in the parking lot, but I am worried that my scoot will end up falling over (since it doesn’t seem to sink symmetrically) and once it does sink in, I have a hard time getting it to roll off the stand when I want to go ride. So I found a 2×2 piece of plywood to slide under the scoot. Hopefully that will work and distribute the weight over the asphalt enough to prevent sinking.

Finally, I took the 4Runner in for an oil change. After all that, I decided to reward myself and go to Whole Foods for a cupcake. I have been eyeing their cupcakes and since I wasn’t far from the new store, I decided to get one. It was chocolate raspberry and it was delicious.

Another thing I have discovered I love is almond butter. It’s a nice change from peanut butter and at Whole Foods, I can get it from the bulk section for quite a bit cheaper than the branded versions.

I wish the cheaper grocery store in town had a bulk food section. Whole Foods is super nice, but it is expensive, so I have to be selective about what I get there.

I also got a watermelon. I love summer because of watermelon. So refreshing when it is super hot outside!
