Last night at 11pm, Joe and I were outside trying to push the car into a space. I am thankful for the neighbor who came and helped ( Read more... )

On Friday, I'd been sick for days. Doctor said it was viral and to rest. I gave the nurse more info (since it had been two days and my symptoms had changed) and then Joe took me to Urgent Care. I was nervous about seeing a brand new doctor. Surprise! The doctor at Urgent Care used to be my doctor's Physicians Assistant. (PA) We chatted a bit and ( Read more... )

The last few days have been...interesting. I keep having random spells of dizziness. Thankfully, I have not actually been sick, nor have I fallen and hurt myself. I'm looking forward to my doctor's appointment on Monday ( Read more... )

Wednesday, we had no heat. There was a 50/50 chance of heat for Thursday. (The fix it guy had to try to get the right part.) The inducer motor on the furnace died. That's the part that gets rid of carbon dioxide. When it doesn't work, the furnace shuts down as a safety mechanism. Better cold than dead ( Read more... )

In running errands today, I have discovered that the Idiot Driver convention is apparently in town this weekend and they all arrived early.

Last night was full of fun. We started the evening at an Otter's hockey game with Brad, Boyo, Chris and Lynn. Chris and Lynn both work with Joe. (Joe caught a game puck!) After the game, we all went out to dinner and made our plans for next New Years Eve to do it again. Then Chris and Lynn headed off while the rest of us came to our place for games ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Joe, Brad and I finally saw the last Hobbit movie. It was really good and we're all glad to have seen it in the theater. Afterward, Brad headed home to be there for Boyo arriving from school. Joe and I got errands done. The dumb was out in massive force...and driving. The closer we get to Christmas, the more insane people are on the ( Read more... )

May everyone get a great night's sleep, on this, the longest night of the year.

Happy Yule!

Yesterday morning was breakfast and donations for the kitties with Joe and Brad. This afternoon, Joe and I snuggled on the couch and fell asleep watching Poirot. This evening had the god-daughter over for her stack of loot. ( My favorite part was the big hug I got, for crocheting her a stuffed bunny.) Eventually, Joe and I went for dinner as a date ( Read more... )

Daughter got her final grades this term...an A, two B's and a high C. The C was one point from a B. She did wonderfully considering she was in a bad car accident and then got very sick. So proud of my baby girl!
