Today is my major maintenance scheduled for my 2004 Dodge Ram. I will patiently wait with it for about three hours. I am taking two projects with me to pass the time. Hopefully I'll get there early enough to get the little cubby area that faces the wall like a desk.
The maintenance is sort of expensive but worth it. For Christmas in 2024 my transmission gave it up. The shop that handled my Forever Warranty has to replace the transmission FOR FREE because I kept up on all the service of the truck. You can read about that in the blog post.
I need to cut the leaves and stems and background fabrics for six tulips that I made last month.
The other project I will take with me is my hand quilted crib quilt. I don't need the cubby area to work on this project.
A fun thing that our son and I are doing this summer is T-Mobile Tuesday deals. He is LOVING exploring new places for CHEAP lunches and getting deals like swag from T-Mobile. Here he is eating his lunch that we got for $3.99 - $4.59 each (he had the "premium" mac & cheese vs. the steamed broccoli.
It's a great lesson on how to download the app, how to access the deal on Tuesdays on the T-Mobile app, how to pay with the app. There's a lot of following directions and entering data like name, e-mail, address... Food is his love language. Might as well utilize it to teach. He learns soooo much faster when he is really interested in the topic. He's even getting good at remembering passwords and/or saving them. Sometimes it's me that needs a little of his help (or at least I act like it so that he has to help me). Teehee.
T-Mobile didn't used to work very good in our area, but a new tower was installed less than 20 minutes away. We were told that we would not be able to access our AT&T landline after 6/30. Spring break was a great time for us to switch. The price averages out the same, but when we utilize all the freebies (like Netflix, Hulu, Paramount Plus, and the food/movie/event stuff...) It works for us. If you are thinking about switching, give them my name and I think we BOTH get a savings!
Ours is a little more expensive due to our remote area and our son needed a personal hotspot to utilize his laptop in the garage and on the road. We are very happy with not losing service and a lot less buffering on the things we are streaming.
My husband was working out of town yesterday. We finished the evening with eight wings from Pizza Hut for $1 each. Luckily it was right on the way home and pick-up was a breeze.
