The Van is IN

I am SO relieved that our bus is at the auto shop to get that side window fixed!!

If you’re behind, you might’ve missed it. We replaced the bus’s windshield earlier this season. Then the minivan got a big ole bullseye right in the line of vision, so we put that claim in. And while we were waiting for that, the bus’s side window got completely obliterated. So. We’re not good at glass, apparently. Brady has been working with a really nice, accommodating auto place in Warman, and when he spoke to them about the bus, they regretfully informed us that they wouldn’t be able to replace both the side window and the van’s windshield before Christmas. Brady and I completely agreed that the bus needed to happen first, and thanks to a last minute cancellation, the bus could go in TODAY!

And they want it for three days. Which is a lot for us.

Thankfully, after the hail damage debacle a few years ago, we upped our insurance to include loss of use, and we were granted a rental car for these bus-free days.

So today, I drove to Walmart to do some pantry stocking and a little bit of Christmas supplies shopping in what felt like a teeny little vehicle! I don’t think its actually little. Is a RAV4 little? I’m not sure. But its a lot littler than what I’m used to! It was fun 🙂

At Walmart, I got the makings of the desserts and treats I want to make. I got a couple of gifts. I got one ball of yarn, because there was only one in the color I needed, lol! I bought an absolutely boatload of noodles. I got some chicken breasts, which I haven’t had in my freezer in a while, and for good reason, because MAN they got pricy! Anyway. I stocked up on some good things 🙂 My pantry is overflowing, but likely not for long!

It was a successful day, and I am now appropriately tired. Its gonna be a macaroni kind of night around here! But I’m content. Its been a really nice day. Thank you, Cher, for taking a couple of hours away from your day and adding to mine 💜 It was lovely. I feel tired and fresh all at once.
