This is not the day off I had envisioned

Today is our "fall break", which means there is no school today.   The public schools are still in session so I'm the only one off today.  It was WONDERFUL to sleep in, although I awoke with a migraine.  I never love that.  Two migraine pills later and it still isn't completely gone.  

At the beginning of the week, the only thing on my calendar today was a haircut this afternoon.  Then, Thomas mentioned he was going to need a ride home from work.  I have some errands I can run in the Dayton area, so I agreed to go get him.  That is 2+ hours there and back, plus the time in Dayton.  No biggie.  At least the errands will be done.  Then last evening, I remembered that my vehicle is past due for an oil change.  Wouldn't be a huge deal, except Andrew needs to take my vehicle to his mom's this weekend, so we can't wait another 600+ miles.  So that happened this morning.

This is definitely not the day off I had originally envisioned, but it is still very lovely.  Because the university also is on break, it is quiet in town, and even driving through campus is relatively peaceful.  I'm still waiting on leaves to change as everything is very, very green still.  I hope Andrew will have a lovely drive over to see his mom.  It's just me and the dog this weekend, and I'm looking forward to the quiet.
