deep breath time
Dec. 13th, 2004 01:44 pmThat list of problems I said could take a number and get in line? Oh, they got in line, all right.
I probably failed to mention, for example, that the Mazda died at my house on 5 December (the engine will turn over but not catch). I cleverly declined to stress; instead I loaded myself into the truck (with the camper shell on) and drove it instead.
( more vehicular whineage, drama, etc )
Things to be grateful for. There must be some around here. Um...
1) Lots of people want to help me open a home equity line of credit with their financial institution.
2) Josie is mellowing quite a bit, earning some time loose in the house (in five-minute increments, but still). The mouthing at the hands problem is only a fraction of what it was. (Okay, I'm frustrated with my lack of progress in teaching her to target my hand with her nose, but this is a gratitude list.)
3) My sweetie and I are sharing his car.
4) I can work every day this week and the next.
5) I came into work today and was alerted to an apparently tiny problem that I tracked down to a hardware failure on one of our fiber switches. More adrenaline than I really needed in the morning, but we quickly swapped in a spare part, and I am waiting for the replacement to be couriered over. It's nice to be the hero instead of the goat.
