very, very . . .

Well, besides my little Miata's clash between its master cylinder and slave cylinder, our A/C slash heat system has decided to slowly pass into oblivion during the first freeze of the year.  We are gathering estimates tomorrow.  The dishwasher, not to be left out of the fray has gone on strike and is literally throwing rusted pieces of the racks like cupid darts, out of the machine and into anything in their path.  Not to mention that unless the dishes are 99% clean before entering the washer, they aren't coming out spotless.  My karma must be bad.  Very, very bad.

To top off my otherwise joyous day . . . the lunch bunch met and happily slurped lunch at La's . . . my next door neighbors decided to trim the large, fully matured Laural Oak in my front yard without asking for permission.  Now I understand their right to trim those branches that cross the property line into their yard but pulling their ladder and gas saw onto my property and hacking off limbs at the trunk of my tree made me see red.  Color me hostile.  Very, very hostile.

So we will be camped out tonight in front of the fireplace, soaking up the warmth and ignoring the fact that tomorrow morning will bring chilly temperature both outside and in.  We will be very, very comfy for the time being.

We have a half cord of oak being delivered tomorrow at 4:00.  Very, very happiness!

Stay warm, enjoy your family.

Peace out.
