I actually took Jason’s car to get it washed.   I paid for the deluxe wash that comes with the Rain X, bug protector, and wheel sparkle.  Spent a good half hour vacuuming it, filled it with gas, and Armor-alled it when I got home.

That’s not a bad Valentine’s Day present I guess.
It’s not that romantic, but it’s not something that he’d do himself – wash I mean, not gas.

I also got a little thrill.   That was the first time I’ve driven something since early November.  It almost felt like when I first got my license.  I was just hyper-aware of everything around me.  A walker, I know how bikes just pull out in the way of traffic.   I was a little afraid of running someone over.

So, I went through some residential areas and thoughts started in my head about going grocery shopping, Clearwater, just wherever.

I didn’t, obviously, but the phrase ‘drive it like you stole it’ did filter through the gray matter a couple of times.  ….   I didn’t.  Besides, there are way too many speed bumps around here for the little Mazda to handle.  The shocks aren’t that good.

Overall, I feel a lot better about spending money on a wash and gas than on my toes and fingers.  My little outing gave me ample reason to put off a mani and a pedi.

And, you know, at one point I would have resented having to stay the day inside, but not so much this time.  I’m hoping the time off my leg will make it so it won’t hurt so much when I go walking.

If this goes on a little longer, there’s some yard work I could do too.

It’s nice.
Not what people expect of Valentine’s Day weekend, but not bad.

At the moment, I’m feeling pretty good about it.
Subject to change without notice, but right now it’s okay.

His school work and whatever future that may come from it is more important.

However, if he’s bogged down tomorrow, I’m heading to the gym for a bit – in the car.   There’s a limit of what I can take before I go stir-crazy.
—  Really short limit.   But this day helps me work on that.   <crazy stare>

In a good mood too.

Weird.

Hope your weekend is as uneventful as mine.
