Thursday...

Oh geeze...

The 'burban is back in the shop, which is the last thing we need right now. The Jeep is still parked until her cancer can get fixed in about three weeks. The Green Goblin is back, but we will be selling her because her life cycle is at an end, and even though we picked her up tonight, she can't be driven until the shop actually puts an inspection sticker on her. (They forgot) And even though the shop drove it and tried to figure out what was wrong with it, they couldn't, so we still have no idea... It's always something. The 'burban lost a brake line today. This is after That Man fixed the oil leak we had (we went through five quarts in three days), and when he pulled it off the ramps, we wondered if it was an electrical glitch or something to worry about. Well... After driving it with the brake light on, I can tell you that it was something to worry about. I had no brakes. Well. Some. But not the usual amount. Argh. So now... We share one car between three people. Ugh...And all three of us have to be at work at different times. How fun...

That Mom is comfortably settled in a short term rehab center. There's not much that can be done for the issues she's having. We now have a name for her symptoms and issues of late (dementia aside). She refuses surgery and is not a surgical candidate. So we do what we do... And make the most of everything. None of us know what the near future holds at this point. We're just happy she's in a place that will care for her 24/7 and that we know one of the nurses there.

Attic renovations are coming along. The garbage is almost gone. So is the carpet. Some of the wood floor has been replaced. The wall covering has been ordered. This weekend is a big push. We'll be sanding floors, and hopefully putting poly down. Hey, if anyone wants to come and help... We'll feed you and supply adult beverages... just saying. Ha!

The new book is also coming along. I'm still working the details out in my head, but Robin Hood. Yess!

Tomorrow is Friday. Thank goodness. It's been a Hell week at the day job. And that's an understatement...

Behave!!
