When we got back from Home Depot last night it was after 1900 so we heated up the left-overs from earlier in the week and while we were in the middle of dinner we heard police sirens and then a police car pulled up across the street and a couple other cars kept driving by.
About a half of an hour later I noticed what I thought were headlights shining in our driveway, but on further look it was four police officers and a couple police dogs coming from the long driveway next door. So I opened up the front door and asked them what was going on, and they told me that they were tracking someone.
This morning we learned that someone had stolen a car and was escaping on foot armed and dangerous. Luckily we never heard anything last night and the dogs next door were relatively quiet last night as well.
In this mornings mail I got some more paperwork from the Social Security office that I needed to fill out and get back to them. I knew that it was coming but they told me not to expect it until Monday, so when it came today I wanted to try and take it down there today if I could so that they could start processing my claim.
Before we had a chance to get out the fellow who is putting our tub/shower surround up called and wanted to come over to measure, so since he could come over in a few minutes we did that so that the surround could start to be made for us as it will take about two weeks before they can install it.
Shortly after he left we took off, and since the Social Security office had sent me a pass I did not have to take a number and wait for hours on end. In fact we were only there less than a half of an hour total. Now it is a matter of waiting months before a decision is made and then more months if I need to appeal it, and from every thing that I have heard I should expect it.
After we finished there we stopped back home and grabbed some dinner and then took off to find a present for Becca's birthday party tomorrow. I almost did not go as I was starting to feel tired already, but I did go and about half way through shopping I had to go sit as I was really starting to hurt. I sat in the SUV and dozed off after sitting for a while.
On the way home Kathleen asked what to make for dinner and I thought a tuna and macaroni casserole sounded like a comforting food for tonight. So that is what we had, it really hit the spot and I even went back for seconds, something that I have not done a lot of lately.
Well, I am tired, and I hope that tonight is a little less eventful than last night was.
