Happy: My brother fixed the air conditioning in my car, fixed my dome lights,changed my oil, and buffed out some of the scratches I put in the side of the van (oops). Having a mechanic in the family is SUCH a blessing!
Happy: It was SO NICE to drive home in this 100 degree weather with air conditioning!
Crappy: He also discovered that my alternator may be going soon.
Crappy: This is especially bad timing because we just replaced the alternator in Ryan's car only a few weeks ago. It's an expensive repair and a terrible coincidence that both would go within a few weeks of each other. Sometimes you just can't win.
Happy: Isaac had his first viola lesson yesterday and it went pretty well. The teacher seemed a little skeptical at first about how serious an eight year old boy could be about the viola but it seemed like Isaac had won him over when the lesson was over.
Happy: My friend Kim gave us a pretty huge inflatable pool for Isaac. We had to get rid of our old inflatable pool, so this was an especially nice gift for us.
Happy: Ryan was also able to fix the outside spigots which hadn't worked so well the past few years. (One didn't work at all, and the other only put out a tiny trickle of water). This made filling the pool up much quicker! And we can water the lawn again, if we ever feel so inclined.
Crappy: We set it up, and Isaac played in it for a bit. Then after a few hours we put it in the garage. Meanwhile, an inspector from the home owner's association came around and issued us a citation for "storing items in the yard". WTH. You can bet I was on the phone complaining today after I got the citation in the mail.
Happy: We leave TOMORROW for Miami to meet the Carnival Victory. I am so excited for our cruise!
Crappy: There is still so much to get in order before then. And for some reason, I picked up a work shift today. What was I thinking??
Happy Wednesday!
