Monday, 4 December; South Carolina and Georgia

Today was a long, pain in the butt day.  My iPad is still not working.  I went on line with my computer and looked up what it might be.  It said to delete all my apps and then add them back in one at a time.  I deleted a couple, but to no avail. 
I got ready to go and grabbed Bella's vest, but she wouldn't come to me.  Very odd that she didn't want to go with me.  Actually makes it easier for me.  So I left her home.
I headed out with some destinations in mind.  Lab Corps to have blood drawn, Target to see if I could find a new Christmas Bed spread.  I looked at Walmart yesterday but oddly enough, they didn't have anything. And, I needed to get propane.  I figured I'd get the propane last so it wouldn't stink up my car.
So, I went to Beaufort first to Lab Corp.  I had to wait there for about an hour.  They were very, very busy.  
Then I headed over to Hilton Head, (an hour in the opposite direction) to Target.  I went to that one because it was over near American Gas where the propane was.  Target didn't have anything either.  There was an iHop and it was calling my name.  There was a Stein-mart in the same center so I went there first and found a pretty red bedspread that I could put under the comforter that I have now.
I walked over to iHop and had two cakes, two eggs, two bacon and hash browns.  I ate the eggs and bacon and about half of the rest.  Back in the car I drove to the Am Gas, only to discover that it was an office and not a filling station. Shoot.  So I drove another 40 min back past Steinmart and iHop to another place that was not open due to illness. Frustrated and tired of being out and about accomplishing nothing.
Rob called and I told him of my frustration and that I was giving up on Propane and going back to the rig.  I would try to figure it out tomorrow.
He tested me a hardware store that was open and that did have a filling station. So I went there.  Guess what; it was an hour away in the opposite direction, actually over by where I had my blood drawn this morning.  They were very nice and filled my tank for me.  Now I won't run out on a cold night without heat.
It stunk up my car and my clothes, but I got it back to the rig and properly installed.  
I watched TV and worked on a new plastic project until bed time.
