a fluid thing has a double meaning today. I got an oil change done on my car. and I was advised to call and find out if there is test scoring on Friday. I scored 290 tests today.
the oil change was done after work, I said if I was driving my own car to iowa for my uncle's funeral then this had to be done first. It was due for this service anyway, and I went to the dealer where I bought it 2 years ago to have this done. due to the sense of urgency, though, it was hard for me to wait, although I did and then at the end of the given allotment I asked if it would be done soon. the given allotment was 45 minutes, and during that time I read the papers I could find. when I asked about it they said it was nearly finished, was sent to be washed. since it isn't washed much I was fine with it, although there was an option to skip the wash. I disclosed my itinerary this time on facebook to my cousin's chat group saying when I was departing for des moines, and how I would be staying at a hotel while in town. at my aunt's funeral last month my sister claimed she didn't know when I would make it there.
as usual, I like being efficient with driving to iowa. this meant just one stop, near the state line. I wanted to wait until clear lake but I wasn't sure if I had enough gas to get there, and this would have been 20 miles farther. it was tough having to drive through rain much of the way, but eventually it let up. I got started about 30 minutes later compared to last month, had no choice when I was waiting for the oil change. I packed in a rush, and it meant I didn't pack CDs for the drive. I still found things on the radio, besides some music also the twins baseball game. I was able to get their flagship, WCCO, for a while, until almost the state line, and the game was nearly over by then.
