The daily update, Tuesday edition

Truck seen by insurance people, check written, taking it to the bank today. I'll worry about what we get fixed when I get home.
Dad escaped from hospital early Monday morning and headed home; he'll be glad to sleep in his own bed and go outside when he pleases (that's something he missed at the hospital)
I did wash the truck, as the threatened rain hit Guthrie to the north and not us. I managed to do it for a buck, because I'm a cheapskate like that.
I went to Ross and bought a carry-on bag. I justified my $25 purchase by considering whether I wanted to use my full size suitcase, and pay $25 each way, or spend $25 once. It's a bag like the one on the right in this image:

Except mine is blue and yellow and green and brown in a sort of floral. I'd post pics, but I'mposting from w*rk not at home with it right now.
I've already packed my clothes in it; in the morning I just need to get myself ready, then pack up my iPod, netbook, and cell phone, plus the charger for each.
I already paid my bills for the month, at least the ones I've received already (the do-it-yourself electric bill averaging is in play; I have a credit balance with them, and paid a planned amount of my bill while letting the balance cover the rest of it; this will continue in July, August, and then I'll probably have to pay the whole bill the first of September, but I'll have more of an idea how much it will be. Raven has been awesome at raising the thermostat; by high summer we hope to be above 80 degrees in the daytime inside, and not miserable. That second bit is why we're not at 80 already.) and that's all the errands I had to do.
I'm thinking we'll go to IHOP this morning for breakfast; I have until noon to kill before we go to the airport :D
