I sat at my computer almost all day long yesterday!

About four I got cabin fever and took a quick bath, dressed and bolted out the door! I had two of my reports in hand, and only needed to get a money order to complete them and put them in the mail.

I drove cross town to check on Pepa's truck which is in the shop, back cross town to Sam's, to Albertson's and finally a dry haul at WalMart. Last stop was the post office.

I am finding substantial savings at Sam's on over the counter meds. Especially with generics. I just wish they would put up a sign that says "This is the same as that". Maybe with arrows. It sure takes some time when you have to read and compare labels. It is getting some better as I am beginning to cycle through again.

I had found on-line that Sam's was supposedly carrying tax forms with a software program I have used in the past. (I had purchased current year software at Office Depot, but it is not the same as I have used in the past as Office Depot has released their own version. Problem is, their program doesn't talk with my old program, and exporting and importing data doesn't happen). Anyhow, if Sam's is selling it, you can't prove it by me!

Albertson's was a stop for things I didn't need a gross of. And the money orders.

Walmart was for the pharmacy, which had already closed. One of these days I will learn their schedule. I suppose the most aggravating thing is after you park, go in and return to your vehicle, you can waste an easy thirty minutes if you don't look at any thing else.

I am discovering that I am becoming one of those old shoppers you hate to get behind. I can look and compare, and just dotter around.

One report left. And it is probably the one I dread the most. 940 FUTA. Yuk! I have loaded all the W-2 info, but have yet to print them. Should be a simple process. I just have been lazy and didn't want to hook my printer up to my laptop or get its printer from the closet.

Get ready. Memory foam shoes. I just saw a segment on the tele. It amazes me how excited women can get over shoes! More so that they can get so excited over shoes that only cost $195.

Ollie begins her new job today. Not what she wants to do, but it will be a paycheck and a stepping stone to something else.

Rian spent the weekend with the stomach flu. Erica had it earlier in the week and Rian had told me he and the boys had missed it! Famous last words. In fact he is home today.

Highs in the 20's the next three days. Wind chills near zero. Lows in the teens except for Wednesday night when they are predicting 9. Brrrrrr. I'm ready for Fall.

I'm playing the middle man for Pepa. The shop called K.O., K.O. called me and I called Pepa. Rear housing oil leak on Pepa's truck. $$$$$$$. Plus two days the truck won't work. Pepa didn't want to talk to the shop, so I talked with the service manager.

Never a dull moment.

As much as I hate to, let's get this Monday over!

Have a day!

Oh FATHER, this week is getting away from me already!
