It is quiet around here 
My day.
My internet goes down literally every 3 to 10 minutes. A tech is coming out on Tuesday, but I doubt the problem can be fixed. I maintain that the lines here are just too old and overloaded to hold the high-tech fiber optics providers use nowadays. Plus, I need to have my computer gone over and viruses and crap removed. The dear thing is a 9 year old pc and well...it's old.
My mother's toaster was older than I was. When I was 12 the toaster finally died. It was such a shock! We literally grieved the loss of it. But now my 9 year old pc is considered really, really old.
I'm about to wash my hair and apply some Malibu Crystals (some sort of gritty stuff that turns into a paste) to it. The gritty stuff is supposed to remove hard water gunk (our water here is very hard) and bring out the lovely highlights and sparkling tones of blonde hair  Well, we shall see. Anyway, I love playing with my hair and doing fun stuff to it.
And then!
I have to go to a car parts store and buy a new battery for my key fob thingy. Right now, I can't open/lock my car and set the security system. I have to (God forbid!) lock the car and open it manually. I hardly remember how to do it! There's nothing in the car to steal (no one could possibly get the old dear to actually drive quickly enough to steal the car itself), except I do keep my skating protective gear in the back. Worth some bucks and I'd hate to have that stolen. So I do need the security system, which is actually a double system that my BIL (who gave the car to me) had installed.
Next, (cringe) gas $6 buckaroos/gallon. I will be able to put $15 in, which will bring the needle to a hair below 1/4 of a tank 
Then the (God help me) grocery store. Price shock.
Nevertheless, despite the anxiety-producing cost of it all, I am looking forward to getting out a bit.
