Tuesday afternoon

Hello again....I'm pleased to say that I have not seen another centipede...*yet*. Bring it on, I say! :)

Went to bed late last night but got myself up early as I remembered that Tuesday is garbage day here on Union St. I forget that there are designated pick-up days for garbage, I'm used to just hauling the bags out to a dumpster and being done with it. After that I got myself dressed and took myself out to Panera for breakfast....cinnamon crunch bagel and a coffee. Headed up the road to a self-serve power wash and washed & vacuumed my car. I have to admit that I love washing my car...I never told Matt that because well, I just didn't...but I do enjoy doing it. Then I found a Bank of America up towards Williamsville and deposited two of my unemployment checks, I'm finally caught up on that.

Then....the best news of the day....drum roll, please....the cable guy called and said he was in the area and even though my "appointment" wasn't until 5-7pm, he wondered if he could stop by now. I was like "hell yeah you can!". So he was here for about 15 minutes and I now have television. I only have 22 channels but that is 22 more channels than I've had for almost two weeks and it makes me smile. It was so nice to turn on my new tv and see & hear more that static. It's the little things in life, right?!

I forgot to mention that I've received two very nice cards in the mail the last few days....one from Amy that made me cry (happy tears) when I read it and then another from Kari that included adorable pictures of Kurtis. I miss my little buddy! He's so adorable and Kari, if you're reading this, I loved the one that showed him standing up....I can't believe he is walking!

I have to say that part of me wants to come back to WA to visit before I start a new job here. I don't know where I'd stay but I feel like I want to see everyone again. Wouldn't be a very financially responsible idea but I think I'm homesick. I miss everyone there, I really do! Even though work at Medtronic got to be such an awful situation, I actually miss it. Well, some of it. ;)

That's all I've got for now....I'm going to go & watch me some freaking tv!!!

Love,
M.
