All dolled up in glad rags...
So when last I left you, I was annoyed about the coming of December. It actually turned out pretty well!
a) I have a new nephew!!!! His name is Vaughn, and he is super cute. I will get to meet him next Wednesday.
b) I didn't have to go to St. Louis.
c) I only have one more workday left in the year, so nothing really looks that bad to me right now.
I did have to work with a site in Mexico, which was annoying because my counterpart had a tendency to wander off, but I got it done and I didn't have to go anywhere.
I've spent most of my free time working on scraping all the flaking paint/rust off my back patio railings, and trying to get a quote for installing a new railing back there because my insurance company now insists I need one. I think I've gotten it to be under $500, so I'm happy about that. Well, I'd be happier if I didn't have to do it, but oh well.
Also, there was a small fence kerfuffle, in that I took my old ghetto fence down, and then the house next to mine that had been vacant for two years sold and they wondered where the fence was. But it ended well, and the new owner seems nice and he is looking for good renters so hopefully it won't be too bad. Although I think he's set the rent too high, given that he's asking for more than I pay on my mortgage, and my house is at least half again the size of that one, if not double.
Speaking of mortgages, I wonder if I could refinance mine again. I just did it about a year ago, but who knows, maybe I could lower it again. I should look into that.
I have also been crafting, but haven't taken the time to post my Pinteresting to tumblr. Ought to get on that! I also made Vaughn's Christmas gift, which is a sock monkey.
And in my spare time, I've been working on my 1D big bang. Uuuuuuuuuuugh. Why so hard, writing? I've hit the minimum word count, but it's not done, and I've hit that stretch where it feels like it never will be. I wanted to have it finished before I went to New Hampshire, but I'm not sure if it will be. I have a couple of days off before I go, so there's hope yet.
OOOOOOOOOh! And I'm going to buy myself an iPad for Christmas! In New Hampster, where they don't believe in sales tax.
