Another day at work. Not bad. Pretty busy. Not raining. G is still not 100% from the "stomach flu" that he developed on Sunday. I am making homemade chicken soup for his "first" actual meal which isn't toast or rice. I did make applesauce but G thinks applesauce needs pork chops and mashed potatoes in order to be edible. So, he didn't eat applesauce. And he has refused since he was 6 years old to eat a banana. And that's the BRAT diet. Banana, Rice, Applesauce, Toast. G has lived on water, toast and rice.
I am also boiling two marrow bones for Riley. His other bones are looking a bit worse for wear. Riley does love to "chew" his bones. I know that most dog owners give the dog the raw bones to gnaw. I think that is "icky" so I boil and then clean out all the "stuff" inside the bones or attached to the bones. I do leave the honeycomb interior of the bones. Takes Riley about 2 to 3 hours to get the bones nice and clean, inside and out. Then he falls asleep. A good workout. And very white and clean teeth.
I have shirts to iron. A load of darks to wash. Lots of television to watch tonight. Person of Interest and Elementary. And Big Bang and Project Runway. Thursday is the BIG night for television.
I drove G's 2001 black Jeep Liberty to work today. I was asked several times about "my sweet new ride". I don't think of an eleven year old Jeep as a "sweet ride". I t does only have 72,000 miles on it and it is very shiny and waxed but, I guess, in comparison to the orange Honda Fit--it is much sweeter. that Honda Fit is getting inspected, oiled, rotated and washed in Portland as I type. G offered to drive it down there for it's "annual" visit. They are changing the wipers but refusing to refund my money. And the tech said they wouldn't recommend the "winter blades" for that car in the future. See, they were terrible. Yes, they were on the car for an entire season--I didn't know how to take them off--an entire season (winter icing, snow, rain etc and I couldn't see anything but smeared window at eye level--I had to duck down and look out the window shield at steering wheel level) and I DO NOT drive to Portland. Never have and never will. My next car is going to be purchased IN my Town. And serviced IN my Town. If I ever get bad wipers again--they will be removed the same day. And I will get my money back.
Years ago I gave the Portland BMW dealer bad reviews for service because they never washed the car when it was serviced ($345 oil changes) and eventually the dealership refused to make service appointments for my car. I had to call BMW USA, complain and ask BMW USA to call and get me an appointment. Boy, I thought they were mad before--now they were ballistic. And they still didn't wash the car. Honda washes my car every single time. Jeep washes G's car. BMW? Not a chance.
In case you are wondering-- the service of the car at BMW (at all times) was impeccable. I never had any complaints about that. I take that car to someone else now that the warranty has expired. Always nicely washed when we pick it up, about 45 minutes drive north of my Town.
