This week has been a killer. And by “this week”, I mean just the last four days or so. In a nutshell:
1) The weather has been ridiculous, even below zero. I’ve always said, that if there was a hell, MY hell would be freezing. I strongly and utterly detest being cold.
2) My son’s car needed a new starter, which I did get done, and apparently, a new gasket-thingie and new tires. Which will have to wait. (The gasket is just leaking, don’t panic.)
3) I’m planning a cookie swap party on Saturday, and I’m not sure if anyone is coming. The kids and I will have a good time regardless. My family is not as close as I would like, and I thought this might be fun, but I fear I’m putting too much weight on it.
4) I floated downtown to the big sister hospital on Monday night, which always makes my brain hurt because I don’t know where anything is, and I don’t know the other nurses, so nobody really talks to me.
5) I came home Tuesday morning from work to a very cold house, and a furnace that proved to need to be completely replaced. Which led to service technicians, space heaters, farming the kids out for the night, no sleep for me, and a brand new furnace, which was installed on Wednesday.
6) I got a new puppy.
Pictorial forthcoming, featuring both the puppy, and the expensive new furnace.

Whew! ..I’m tire just hearing that list…. (raising my glass) Here’s to the other half of this month being a little easier and softer on the pocket book…
Giant bear hugs! At least the flux capacitor is still functional, yes?
But you got a puppy…! =D
