It's almost like Christmas

When you actually clean out that closet in the office that was bursting at the seams. Here are a few of my finds in there today on my day off (I know, I just know how to have fun...)

• acceptance letter to nursing school
• computer tools I'd thought someone had taken
• a computer part I needed for Dahey (the one I bought at the dollar store broke in a week)
• my old laptop and other oddball computer parts
• wallet with my student ID from 2001
• and $6 cash

I didn't get everything done, but it was a success for me. And just about as good as Christmas.

More to come...the semester's slowly finishing. Another paper is nearly done.

Sometimes I wonder...

How in the world you go to the mechanic for an oil change and car inspection and come out several Benjamins lighter in the pocketbook. I remember now. I like having breaks with intact lines!

Not nearly as much fun as buying shoes, though.

While we await the fun-filled weekend with Bubba watching the National Spelling Bee, I finally got Dahey to get to the lab to get the orders the doctor sent over a month ago drawn. I called the nurse and once I told him that she said one lab had to be sent out and he'd have to wait two weeks to hear what happened, he decided to go. I got to accompany him.

So much fun. Lots of labs, but luckily only three little tubes.The best part: the look on his face when the phlebotomist told him he'd have to give 13. Priceless!

I don't think he's going to goof off in the lab anymore...stay tuned.
