Paying the Piper
I slept well last night and woke up feeling fine…for a Monday morning. Lots of Monday-itis.
After work, dash home for the UMW book club–discussed The Traveler’s Gift. Seven decisions that determine personal success. They all kind of overlap…basically you are responsible for your decisions/life so make wise decisions. Chose to be happy. Hang out with people better than you (inspire you to be a better person). I can’t control the fact that my office is cold…but I can dress warmly. I’d complain but I declared my office a “no whine zone” long ago. LOL
In the state of the state address, Gov. Nixon proposed a 2% pay increase for state employees. It’s been YEARS since state employees have any kind of raise, even cost of living. But underpaid is better than unpaid…
We had wild rice & chicken soup for supper. Then I did the engraving I should have done over the weekend. Oops. Tuesday delivery instead of Monday. Dennis added some kind of “magic cure” to the van’s transmission fluid. It was shifting “funny”—downshifting too soon, and then not upshifting soon enough. Hopefully that will fix it. I’m happy to report that the VW is up and running like a champ again.
Tomorrow night the girls have a home game, & I plan to attend.
Today was very warm–up to 70 something with a few scattered showers. Tomorrow in the 60′s then crashing to the 30′s…with possibly some snow Tuesday night. Then 20′s for highs the next several days. Talk about roller coaster weather…
