Happy December 1st!<\/p>\n<p>I took heed to the weather reports of substantial snow for Thursday night and got ready for a little work at home. The boss is against work at home as I am finding out but knows I am a winter weather driving weenie and actually emailed me first assuming I was going work at home today. Yep<\/p>\n<p>From what I gather a lot of employees called in today and the others told stories of whoa trying to get in to work. Before I left work yesterday, I forwarded my phone to my cell and this morning I got a call from Lisa C asking how the roads were. I wouldn&#8217;t know. I forgot that she called work and I was picking up a forwarded call LOL.<\/p>\n<p>Hollace of course had a snow day too. We all hunkered down with both me and Hollace staying in jammies all day. Actually I got dressed at 4:30 just so I could go to the mailbox. I thought those guys don&#8217;t let weather stop them from delivering mail. My box was empty.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week I was contemplating getting a new computer. For the last few weeks my display has been going all wonky. A restart and all would be well. That wasn&#8217;t the case however on Tuesday when it went bad and wouldn&#8217;t clear up. I took a picture of the screen<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/swardraws\/309218460\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/103\/309218460_fd14755059.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Help!\" \/><\/a> and processed it, posted it and asked a question on one of the forum on Flickr sorta blind. The consensus was &#8220;what a great time to buy a new machine!&#8221; Ack, I don&#8217;t want a new machine. This one wasn&#8217;t even 2 years old yet and while I have some $$$ coming, I had it earmarked.<\/p>\n<p>I took the machine to work for some diagnosics but the darn thing was working beautifully. I was talking about the prospect of getting a new machine when Sherry called. Would ya know she was calling because she was refinancing her house and would be able to pay back the money I loaned her much earlier than expected. And wouldn&#8217;t ya know it that what she owes me is almost exacly how much a new laptop would cost. Fate there won&#8217;t ya say?<\/p>\n<p>Because I paid for this computer with my credit card which has waranty service that doubles the waranty, I should be able to get them to pay for a fix so hopefully I can hold off buying a new machine for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Of course this is the worst time of year for it to go down or out to fix since I am hot and heavy in Christmas photocrafts. I just got this years calendar done. Now for some marble magnets and the Christmas card<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>found me starting the week without a coat with the temps in the 60s only to wake up this morning to 10&#8243; of snow.
