I haven't felt like writing in awhile, so I'm a little behind. I'll try to keep this entry from being too long.
On March 18th (I think that was a Saturday), Charlie noticed my car making a squeaking/chirping sound. I'd actually heard it now and then for months, but Charlie couldn't hear it because he's a little deaf and he said he couldn't fix it if he couldn't hear it because he wouldn't know what to check. Well, finally he could hear it. He started with the cheapest possibility (I don't remember what that was) and finally on Easter Sunday (April 9th), he got it fixed. He had changed a few parts by then (the last one being the power steering pump) and did something with a belt and the squeaking/chirping finally stopped.
My car's a 2007, so I reckon it's going to start showing its age now.

Sean's birthday was April 9th. He's 26 years old now. Charlie gave him some money towards getting a telescope that he wanted.

Easter Sunday was April 9th. It wasn't quite as warm as I would've liked (I think it was in the mid 60s), but it wasn't bad. The dress I wore for Easter was one I bought from someone on Poshmark. A Kate Spade dress that was originally $398 (I think it's from between 2015 and 2018), but I paid $35.22 after shipping and tax.
There's a blue Tahari dress with little white dots and flowers that I really wanted (and still want), but I couldn't find it in my size. It's so beautiful. I hope I can find it eventually.

Tahari dress I really want. I would've worn this for Easter if I had found it in my size. Enlarge to get a better look at it. (Not my pictures, obviously. They belong to someone who was selling it in a smaller size.)
Church was really good and we had a pretty good sized crowd. I never did see or hear how many we had. We sang Name Above All Names (Eddie James), Rattle (eh), and I think either Said and Done or So Will I. Possibly both.
Pastor preached a great message (Seeing Through Your Tears) and there was a lot of fellowship and treats for the kids after service.

April 15th-16th, Sean, Ashley, and Alyssa (Ashley's sister) went to Southport for the weekend. Alyssa had never been. They had a really good time. I'm glad they had a safe trip.

Saturday, April 29th, the a/c in our house quit working. (Actually the unit itself. We've had cold mornings with no heat in the house.) Charlie changed some part that was showing it wasn't getting or didn't have any power, but the a/c still wouldn't work. So he called someone and they came to look at it this past Wednesday. They said they had to order a couple parts for it. We don't know how long that's going to take. Thankfully the weather has been a little on the cool side, so we've been able to keep the house mostly comfortable. (The front of the house faces south and is hard to get cool.) But it's supposed to be close to 80° today and tomorrow and into the 80s on Monday and Tuesday. It'll be much harder to cool the house on those days.

It's been a difficult couple months for us - car repairs, a/c repairs, dryer needs fixing (waiting on the part), our house payment went up by almost $200 a month because county taxes went up, and a health issue we don't have answers for yet - I'll blog about that when we know something. Plus, a few other little things. But it's little things on top of these other things.
So when I post after this the clothes I've bought since my last entry, they are items purchased between early March and early April.
