Happy Hump Day............but good grief, is it Friday yet? I'm sitting here and my eyes are slowly closing but I've got way too much to do today to get any kind of a nap. Yesterday was crazy - - - - my garbage disposal went out the day after Thanksgiving and by chance, Gerry found a 3/4 hp ISE for $40 less than a smaller size would cost at either Home Depot or Lowe's. So he bought it and Ken said he would install it, since Gerry goes crazy and gets very testy when he has to work under the kitchen sink. So naturally, the installation didn't go quite as smoothly as Ken was sure it would. But it's in, it works and this baby purrs as it grinds. No more loud noises when I use it. But I hurt my right arm and hand again as I tried to help Ken hold the disposer up to the collar to get it attached. So I stayed home last night and didn't go to payout night at pool. -- Piggy's Pad

It was kinda quiet having a night at home, by myself (or as much by myself as one can be with 6 cats). I didn't do much but watch some TV and spend some time on the computer. But with Chicory's appointment this afternoon and church tonight, it's going to get busy. At least the weather's beautiful. Yesterday was sunny and warm and today will be the same with our temp close to 50. We *might* get some snow this weekend and end up having a white Christmas but even Christmas Day should be "normal,* meaning sunny and the high about 46. I hope everybody has a good day.

Best laid plans...Rick always says when he had a job like this it should take about 15 minutes...well you know how that goes...two and half hours later he is a bear and the job still isn't finished right!!!
Glad Ken got it al hooked up for you and sure hope your arm and hand is ok....I pulled something in my shoulder on Sunday when I was out shovelling snow....I've been taking Alieve and it seems to be helping quite a bit..... (NT) -- Kate, 6:30:06 am, Wed, 12/19/07
Oh, Kate, I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder. I know just how painful something like that can be. My problem is that since I'm already taking a prescription anti-inflamatory, I can't take any extra Aleve or Advil...........and Tylenol does nothing for me. But I also have a pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder and my arm goes numb and my fingers tingle, like they would if they were asleep, almost all the time now. And my next doctor's appointment isn't until Jan. 14th, I think. Crap. (NT) -- Sandy, 7:26:57 am, Wed, 12/19/07
Guess it's a 'guy thing' Kate! I've heard that too! (NT) -- D, 7:27:09 am, Wed, 12/19/07
I hate to ask anyone to do the under the sink work, what a pain and so hard for someone to lie under there. Holding that disposal? They are heavy! I'm sorry you missed your pool night! You are warmer than us, but I'll take sunshine and cold, better than dreary days. (NT) -- Denise, 7:29:19 am, Wed, 12/19/07
Praying for a good vet visit for Chic! (NT) -- D, 7:29:46 am, Wed, 12/19/07
Ken *offered* to do the install for us, since we bailed him out financially last spring and summer. That $5,000 put a big dent in our budget but he's working it off with this install of the disposer and he's also going to replace our struts on the car. We buy the parts (at his price, which is a whole lot cheaper than regular) and he'll do the work. He's also offered to help Gerry add attic blankets to the attic so we have more insulation up there.

Man, I LOVE that golden orb in the sky. Last week, we had 4-5 days that were cloudy and gloomy. I thought I'd go crazy by the 3rd day. I need to see the sun. (NT) -- Sandy, 7:31:23 am, Wed, 12/19/07
Is it *only* Wednesday?! Good grief, my days are all running into each other! It's going to be CRAZY till after the holidays!< br>My "garbage disposal" is either the Barkuum Cleaners or Danny... as he takes out the trash. LOL Never had a disposal... Don't even have a dishwasher! (NT) -- V~, 8:36:20 pm, Wed, 12/19/07
