I Made It

I made it to PIB without any issue. And when I say "without any issue" I mean aside from the whole battery thing, I didn't have another issue in my trip. Of course I didn't turn my car off from the time I started it until I parked at the cottage. And, when I parked, I detached my battery so that it wouldn't drain because regardless of the fact that it started right up with the new battery, there's still something wrong and as much as I'd love to get stranded here, I can't get stranded here. I'll be a basket case until I get this shit figured out. Which reminds me, hold on, I need to set an appointment with Subaru. 

Okay, I'm back. Of course there wasn't an appointment to be had for 30 days so I set Jim on the task to try and set something up for next week. We'll see. UPDATE: Jim got me an appointment for Monday at 8:30. Fingers crossed it's a simple, non-expensive fix. 

In other Jim news, I just bought him a roundtrip ticket for San Francisco, leaving on August 27th and coming home September 1st. I mean, as many times as I've left him to come here or go to Maggie's I figured it was time to throw him a bone. Plus his brother and best friend, Les have been begging him to come there. He's so excited and I'm excited for him. And bonus, when he gets back, we're going to the Reds game (September 2nd) with my cousins (Mom's side) and we have some pretty sweet seats! \

So yeah, I got up here around noon (drove right on the 11:30 ferry) and we (Maggie, Charlie and their friends the Rabers) headed out for lunch at The Reel Bar. We came home, I took a quick little trip on the wave runner (really just to blow out some of the seaweed from the dock) and then we headed to the pool for a quick swim. Dinner last night was chicken shwarma (so yummy). We then hung out on the seawall, watched the sunset, drank (too much) wine and listened to music. I think (not sure because remember "too much wine") I was in bed by about 10:00. 

I actually slept until 6:30 (again, too much wine). I worked out which helped to work out the cobwebs in my brain (too much wine) and now I'm sitting here drinking a mimosa! Don't judge! I'm on vacation! 

Speaking of vacation...I can't believe in two weeks (less than) I'll be back at that place. I'm so sad! 

BTW - dinner tonight will be either Mexican chicken bowls or pork tenderloin. 

Okay well, time to wrap this up and enjoy my mimosa and view. Happy Wednesday! Later!
