Made it through....

OK, I have come out the other side of the whole Christmas holiday intact... and even pleasantly recharged from all the hulabaloo that seems to be the norm this time of year. A lovely Solstice was followed by working the following Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday AND Saturday but I have 15 hours of overtime this week, 10 hours of overtime last week... should be enough extra to get my check engine light on the Escape checked out & maybe even fixed. We did get a work bonus for the holiday but after 32% was taken out in taxes (OMG! & WTF?) there was not anything really left to play with.

Speaking of work, last night was the daVita holiday party... not bad. Food was good,in spite of the lack of veggies. Music (DJ) was good. Was nice to see some folks outside of work.

Today I have discovered and caught up somewhat on the TV show "Almost Human" but have had to stop watching it in order to work on some art projects, one that will be due soon. Also need to go get my holiday cards from Good Karma Cafe & put in some new ones not relating to the holiday season... that will be Thursday's task....

For now, ATCs to make... 25 of them, actually., Off I go.

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
