Around the first week of this month, an inflatable garage Charlie had ordered to paint my car inside of came in. It's huge! He only left it up a day or two while he prepared my car. (Any longer than that and I'm sure we would've gotten a letter from the HOA.) He then backed my car out of it and deflated it. He's been doing the primer touch-ups and sanding under a tent thing (it's not a tent, but my mind is blanking on what it's called; canopy?) and will hopefully begin painting it soon. I want it to be the same color that it was, so hopefully the paint he ordered is the right color.

Wednesday, June 12th, I babysitted Lydia for the first time. Ashley went back to work that week and will be working Tuesday through Thursday each week. She works at our church daycare and will have Lydia with her on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I babysit every Wednesday. She's hoping to get a job she can do from home because she'd really rather be at home with Lydia.

Last Friday, I went to Home Depot and got a new light fixture for the hall bath. I'll have Charlie install it after I pick a new paint color for that bathroom and Charlie paints it. I don't know yet what color it will be, but I'm thinking of a light shade of gray, yellow, or pink. The tile in that bathroom is a mixture of light blue and medium blue.
I got a new shower curtain for that bathroom recently. I ordered it from Amazon. It has a bamboo design on it.

My mom has been driving me to places I need to go for the past couple months. I cannot wait until my car is done so I can drive myself places. My mom is a bad driver. I don't know how someone her age (she'll be 73 next month) has the nerve to drive 15-20 mph over the speed limit on city streets. (In her Camaro that for some reason she seems to think she has to put the pedal to the metal when the light turns green.) She's also supposed to wear glasses when she drives, but only wears them if it's raining or if it's close to sunset. And she has horrible road rage. It's embarrassing. And she talks bad about people. I'm a quiet, peaceful person and her "energy" is so different from mine. I'm afraid I'm either going to lose my mind or she's going to get me killed.

I dnf'd The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins a couple days ago. I had gotten about halfway through it several months ago and lost interest.
I'm still reading Anglesey by Frank Tayell. I'm more than halfway through.
