Friday, I just got up from a morning nap since I slept little last night. I did not even try to sleep until just before 4 am. I went right to sleep and woke hot at 7:30. So, by 9:30, I was down for a nap. Now, it is just after noon, and after lunch I feel the need for another nap.
Since there is light from my new lamp, I can now read. Last night, I read more of my current book. It was such a pleasant thing to do that I was relaxed for sleeping. Reading does NOT make me sleepy. Reading wakes me. So, I suppose the pleasure and easing of tensions helped me to sleep. Either way, melatonin was not helping me at all. I just took half the dose of liquid melatonin hours before I finally turned off the light.
Today, is my birthday and I have few plans. I know I will continue to process something for the freezer. Plus, I will make a pan of brownies and pick up chicken for dinner. I love Zaxby's and KFC. I keep vacillating, but I think KFC is winning. I considered other places to pick up food. However, KFC is never a surprise.
I suppose not cooking dinner will give me more time and energy to freeze more.
I stopped by the hand-was place yesterday. A regular wash is $15, a bargain. However, he wants to pressure wash my car with a degreaser to rid it of the pollen around the windows. I am not sure that I want the seals around the windows power-washed. And, is degreaser the thing to use? So, that will wait. The purse I bought is not suitable at all, too tiny.
I am trusting my sewing machine will be great because those two things are not working out.
What do you used on pollen and mold that forms around windows. This car was parked for a year under an oak tree and in humid conditions.
I will ask a friend that lives up in Huntsville and see what he advises.. might take a couple days to get that info back to you.
ReplyDeleteChef,
DeleteI just cannot believe a pressure wash and degreaser is needed for the rubber around the back windows and rest of car. Thanks.
From Huntsville AL. He said the car washers are all pressure washers... then he sent this to my email
DeleteI would first wash the car with Dawn or a grease cutting dish detergent. Make the mixture pretty heavy with the detergent and let it sit on the car and to soak some of the pollen and sap. I don't see an issue using the pressure washer I just wouldn't get the nozzle any closer than 6" from the rubber seals.
If there is some stubborn sap. Apply the detergent directly to the spot and let it work a little while.
The detergent will cut the sap but not hurt the paint or finish. DJ
Hope this helps
Chef,
DeleteThanks. This car was garage kept since 2008, so the finish is perfect and shiny. Only around the windows is is gunky. I will take the Dawn out and see what I can do. Thanks for asking him.
My car is garage kept so I'm at a loss as to what to do. It's a convertible so I can't do the car washes, we have to do the hand wash. The last time, it was $20 plus a tip, so $15 is a bargain. Maybe that's why he wants to add other services?
ReplyDeleteI understand the purse dilemma! I have such a tough time finding the perfect pursse. Right now, I'm close, but not quite. Good luck on finding it...and happy birthday!

DeleteI never thought about what a convertible would need. I just need this for when I don't have a pocket. My other purse is perfect for a purse, but not for carrying into a store.
I found this video about getting pollen off of cars, it may help?
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
