A time for memories

We have good weather today. The high is expected to be 48. I hope most if not all of the snow on my driveway melts.

Nancy had a rough Christmas. Her mom was sent the the emergency room Christmas Eve and was put in hospice on Christmas day. The family is gathered around and her dad was taken to stay with her. It is a rough time for them so keep them in your thoughts and prayers. I have a candle lit here for her. I will keep one lit throughout this tough time.

I will write more Monday.

"Along the Road"

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chattered all the way.
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow
And ne'er a word said she;
But oh, the things
I learned from her
When Sorrow
walked with me!

-Robert Browning, Poet

I do have adventures

So it has been cold and snowy. We had a few more inches last night and it is going to be snowy the next couple of days.

Today is Christmas eve and I am going to work for about half the day. Drew turns 14 tomorrow and I have to get to the store and buy stuff for his birthday dinner.

So my car has had a window issue for the last 6 months. The passenger side window wouldn't work. I have it taped up and when I took it to the mechanic (when it first broke) he said I needed to go to a body shop to get it fixed and it would be around $300.

That in itself sucks but yesterday I was at Burger King going through the drive-thru and my driver side window stuck in the down position. Ok, now that really sucks because it is cold and going to snow. So I bite the bullet and take it to the body shop. They fix both windows and it was a little over $400. At least my windows work now.

Jess had oral surgery yesterday. She had her wisdom teeth removed. She did fine but was a bit grumpy when she got home. A bunch of her friends came over and watched movies with her. I think there were 15 people that were in and out of the house last night. They brought her a shake and pudding. They all took off their shoes when they came in so the front living room looked like FootLocker.

I made creamed tuna on mashed potatoes for dinner. Both the kids really liked it so that was a good thing.

I got my TomTom GPS yesterday. The damn thing doesn't work. It starts up and has a big flashing X on the screen. I am going to have to call tech support. I looked online but I am not sure what the deal is. I have been waiting for the damn thing for a week and I finally get it....broken.

Ok, off to start my day. Merry Christmas!!

Frigid----I wish!

It is cold as heck today. I think yesterday had a high of -1 and today is going to get to a few degrees above zero. The wind is blowing like crazy and this sucks!

Christmas at Jenny's was fun. They had soup and sandwiches for lunch and they were very good. The presents were nice and I think everyone had a good time. Anthony had a game and Jess went with Angie and Dale to watch. It ended up going into overtime and Anthony's team won with a half court shot as time expired.

The trip to Lincoln was bad. The snow was blowing the wind was bad, the roads were icy and it was snowing. We had a lot of issues until we got past Omaha. The weather was fine on the way home.

Nancy took care of Molly while we were away. She gave Molly a bath and lots of love. She also put a Christmas ribbon around her neck. It was cute.

Sunday I took a small nap and woke up with the worst headache I have had in a long time. It was KILLING ME! I ended up going to bed around 7 pm and I think the headache went away around midnight. I hate headaches.

I have a few vendors coming in to do work at the school today. I also have some work of my own to do. It is going to be cold as can be and I don't want to spend much time outside

Jess gets her wisdom teeth removed tomorrow. She has oral surgery, they are putting her under and cutting them out around 10. I hope she recovers quickly.

Christmas is just a few days away.

Off to start.
