Sunday.  Church and lunch.  Should be good, right?  And those parts were!
But then we had to take that lawnmower battery back to Walmart so he could get the correct one - that's when the day went downhill fast.
We went in at the Lawn and Garden part of Walmart, since that's where lawnmowers and things are sold - but, no, they said returns have to be done up at the Service Desk.  So, up to the Service Desk we go after picking up the correct battery.  After standing there - you know their lines! - we finally get our turn, only to hear that anything to do with a battery has to be done back in Automotive.  I told them that L&G had sent us up here, and they need to let their people know the correct information, we went back to Automotive.  The guy who waited on us there had NO idea how to do a return or an exchange!  He pages for help, no problem.  A few minutes later, he pages again.  He is waiting on other customers while waiting for this help to arrive.  Finally he pages for help a third time.  Still nothing, so he places a phone call to another station for some help.  After waiting a few more minutes, he makes another phone call.  And we wait, watching as he and another fellow wait on more customers.  The other guy finally calls someone for some help, and finally FINALLY someone shows up and helps him - yes, helps that other guy.  After five calls for help for us, and this guy calls once, he gets help first!  Then he walked over to us, saying, "and we have a return over here?" Ooooooooh!
He punches up the buttons (and only half-asses listens to what we say) and then says, "you're good to go."  Ron asks him, "What about my core charge?" since we had brought an old battery to turn in for that.  He started to go into his rigmarole about how to receive the core charge back, and Ron interrupted him, tapping the old battery sitting on the counter and letting him know that we aren't stupid.  He tried hard not to sigh, I will give him that, but he started punching buttons and squinting at the receipt again, and finally gave Ron his money and receipt and didn't say another kind word, just looked at him.  We got the hell out of there - a 15-minute transaction had already taken us well over an hour!

Getting home, we took a nap.  That great lunch at the Barn and the stress of Walmart was just too much for us!  When we woke up, we played mini-golf and Ron beat the living crap outta me on all three levels.  I couldn't do anything right in the game - it was awful!
I made cheese weenies for supper, and Ron topped his with what was left of his cabbage.
That was our night.


Monday was my Happy Homemaker Day.  I didn't do any laundry, but I sure had a boatload of dishes sitting there waiting for me!  It took a while, but I finally got them all done.  After that, I sat in my recliner and I actually dozed off...dozed off!  When I woke, I got myself some lunch - chicken salad and walnuts - then I let myself doze off again.  What the hell is up with this?
When Ron texted, I told him that I wasn't walking - mostly because it's been raining, raining, raining all day - but also because I just didn't think I could get up and get going, either.  I was asleep when he came in (again!) and he woke me up touching my face to see if I had a fever.  We sat there watching TV for a bit, both of us dozing, and then he decided to go find some food.
He made us some omelets - he made mine with cheese, his with chili powder, hot sauce, and who knows what else, probably garlic - and we ate, then dozed again.  Jiminy Christmas!  I can't believe how much I am sleeping today!  When I woke up at nearly 9, I was actually hungry and had chicken noodle soup while playing on the pute.

I do think I hear the bed calling me, though, and I have to get up tomorrow and go up to Rumpke for their little health fair.  We don't want an extra $20 a week coming out of Ron's check, so we'll definitely be doing this!  Fun, fun...NOT.  I go to doctors for this kind of shit.
