My poor dead truck is finally gone.

It had been sitting in my parking space at my condo since it died, over a year ago. I tried researching how to donate a vehicle to charity, but it all seemed terribly complicated -- I'm deeply phobic about incorrectly filed paperwork, and the one place I found that said they took care of all the paperwork never ( Read more... )

.... And then the roller-coaster swings around, and my life goes back from suck to awesome. In no particular order:

• I've been doing a few days work here and there for Trace again, the same person I was working for last year, and he thinks he's going to have a lot more hours for me in the not-too-distant future, which is excellent.
• Had much fun at endorphan ( Read more... )

Holy crap. My life just went from zero to suck in less than twenty-four hours.

I broke another tooth last night. On a chicken strip. Again. The first time that happened, I managed to get it taken care of, but the second time I chipped a tooth, I just ignored it for a few months because I didn't have the money to take care of it; but now I've ( Read more... )

Never got a chance to mention yesterday -- but we replaced the battery in the truck, and all is once again well. Many thanks, again, to ulrich and autumngray for their hospitality and help.

I knew things were going too well.
They really have been, too -- been out getting more exercise, with treebyleaf this time. Three times around Green Lake on Monday, and up and around the trails at Saltwater State Park yesterday, and then we had a lovely dinner with Blue and her boy.
Saw Lilo and Stitch the other day and loved it to pieces. Watched Scooby Doo ( Read more... )

Beautiful day outside today. Shame I slept through most of it.
Woke up after a ridiculously overlong afternoon nap and decided it was ( Read more... )

Wow, I haven't posted anything in my journal since Christmas Eve. I better catch up.
I've been busy having a fine holiday season. Let me tell you about it.

Finally received my check from Design Works Interiors for the website I built for them, so I figured I had the financial wherewithal to go out and buy new tires for the Annabel Leetoday. Went to deposit the check and found that the bank was already ( Read more... )
