In the middle of last night, there was a very loud thunderstorm that included one particularly close, booming thunderclap. I don't think a thunderstorm was even predicted and, anyway, what's it doing thunderstorming in October like it's the middle of summer? It should be snowing!
Woke via alarm clock by 8am because I had to get moving to meet daughter at motor vehicle office to give her spouse's old car. After breakfast, went out to insurance company to pick up spouse's proof of insurance for his new car, donated our 22 year old stereo receiver to Casa Mesita Thrift Shop, visited senior center and library and then went to the the Route to exercise.
I parked at the Ocean and started walking from there. I walked all the various logging roads south of Camp May Road and turned around at the bottom of Guardrail Hill. It was one of those days like last Monday when I felt sluggish. My left knee objected to any uphill and my leg muscles were lethargic. It was distressing.
I got back home with about one hour to have lunch before I had to meet daughter at 3:30pm at the motor vehicle office. Then, after we waited an hour, it was our turn. The clerk asked where the bill of sale was and I said it was a gift. He then went to get us a gift affidavit and said to bring it back notarized. I had totally forgotten from when we gave our other car to our son-in-law about the gift affidavit business - grrrrr! I felt like such a nincompoop and so sorry that I had wasted daughter's time. She is so busy now with school, work and moving.
The bright spot of the day was seeing on my walk the beautiful, young aspens with brilliant yellow leaves and hearing coyotes that seemed to be having a joyous time exercising their vocal cords! I didn't see them and don't know how many there were but what an amazing sound it was. I stood and listened until the final yip and then there was complete silence. When I got back to my car, they did it one more time.
