I had to take my car in to get the heater looked at. The fan would blow, but not very powerful and only for a few minutes. Didn't hear back from the shop today (they were busy), so I'll hear back from them tomorrow. Hopefully it ain't too expensive.
I took the bus home from the garage. I haven't ridden on that bus route in several years. I felt like I should've been coming home from high school.
I spent the majority of the day pulling out the storage bins with our Christmas stuff in them. I tested all the outdoor lights and marked the bad ones. That alone took an hour and a half. Also, I threw away some old srands my parents must've been keeping for sentimental reasons. They haven't worked in five years.

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

It was a good day...my son's 16th birthday. So we had cake in the afternoon and a big family dinner with family and friends.
This was the easy part of it...the harder one is planned for te weekend when he will have a party with his buddies... He is now "officially" allowed to drink beer and wine...

Surprisingly it was a very good day. It was back to classes at college but my chem lab that is normally 3 hours was only about an hour long so that was really nice. I got to hang out with the girls in my suite for a while and I finally got back to my New York City Ballet Workout video which felt really good. Over all I have to say that it was a red letter day

Ahh, well Tuesdays are my only days to sleep in so my day just started, oh about 10 minutes ago. I had to work at noon. So I woke up made some breakfast...er...lunch and then went to work. I work till five, so I am going to serach for more jobs while I'm at it. Then after work I am going to go watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with my roomy who likes harry potter, not the other one. My house is weird. Oh well.

There's a dear little plant that grows in our Isle Twas St . Patrick himself, sure, that set it; And the sun of his labour with pleasure did smile, And with dew from his eye often wet it. It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the Mireland, and they call it the dear little shamrock of Ireland.

Well, my morning started off debating with my manager on RULES. His "policy" is that no one at our work will be allowed to take both Christmas and New Year's off. I submitted a vacation request back in September that was going to include both days, but our vacation is Use it or Lose it by Dec 31st. Of course it got denied, so out of that whole vacation, I have to come in New Year's Eve to work.
Now to the debate part...4 other people were granted vacation that included both days off, just because they're going out of town. Mine was denied without him even asking if I had plans to travel.
Anyway, after I got home, I went to bed, so that was an improvement.
I've had a good day, other than having a cold and my head feeling like it weighs 20 pounds, I'm good. Thanksgiving was good, our youngest son turned 8 and our oldest son will be 16 this time In January. Our oldest daughter, (only one, too) will be 18 in March!!!
Sometimes it is hard to believe that they are that old, lol....no wonder I have so many gray hairs!!!
I have to admit that my day has been improving. My Cold or what ever it was is starting to show signs of letting up after about a Month of Sundays. There should be some kind of law making Colds Illegal.
And LiliMarlene, never admit to Gray Hairs. Just say they are White.
I know it is, and with three kids, two of them teens, believe me, I have!!!!! My husband says that he doesn't care...but it must be either a girl thing or it's just me...I don't look 36 anywhere else, why should my hair? I think I'm just going to dye it red again, back to my birth color, lol and forget it!
Welcome aboard, LiliMarlene! I think colds should be outlawed too, Richard. I have spent all day trying not to hack up a lung. My cold/chest thingy has lasted almost three weeks now. I had to go back to the doctor today and got steroids for it, so I will be better soon Other than that my day was great - a bit slow. And I miss someone very terribly. Someone who was part of my life and cannot be that anymore. So I am a bit bummed to tell the truth! But like you said, freekenny, and you Richard. I am alive, and have more than most people in the world can say that they have. So I am very lucky indeed!

Does this mean you'll be bulking up to "take care of business"? Remind me to stay out of the way. Take good care of that chest thingy, and try to get over your cold also.
