Up early and out the door at 7:30 to drop the car at Toyota for its 75K service. Which cost $750, and I would complain about that, except that this is the first service it has had in over 12 months. Plus the 12volt battery was failing and that was $300 more (yes, I checked and new batteries were $190 at Amazon, so I could have saved $100 by doing it myself, but they give a 6 year warranty, so what the heck). With that and the detailing I’ve spent $1200 on the car this week. But it looks lovely and is set for another year of puttering around Palo Alto.
I walked back from Toyota, so getting over 4 miles for the day, more than I’ve walked in a while. At 11 we had a lecture by a lady who is a specialist in dementia care, about how to interact with people with dementia. It all seemed like common sense to me, but nicely presented.
Did about nothing the rest of the day, and felt a bit bored in the afternoon as a result.
