Great news!

Hubby got the truck fixed and the new heater core is putting out some serious heat! The truck is put back together, and now, even on cold days, if the roads are bad, we can take the truck and not worry about freezing our butts off. Ditto all the weekend running, because we usually use the truck, as it has more cargo capacity (so says hubby; obviously, he forgets I know how to really pack my car full to the gills).

Yesterday was great with all the food, and I don't know about anybody else, but I had a good time. Even caught up on some of my shows I watch online as hubby hogs the boob tube for his shows (which I can't stand, but that's another story). Smudge is curled up next to me, cuddling and snoozing and snoring. Me, I have to work, but since hubby is taking the day off as his hire-in anniversary holiday, he doesn't, which means I get to get a bit of a nap in before I have to pull together to go. If not for bills, and that I just got that point back Tuesday, I'd bleeding well call in, but money is needed and I am trying to work points off. So instead of having to rush around to head in by 230, I can take a bit of a nap and not have to worry about heading to work till 330.

It means no more work on the lap quilt until I get home tonight, but I got almost all of the fifth butterfly done. There's just a bit more stitching and the details to do with the backstitching, and then it's on to the next one. I got tired of it last night. It's worse than all the vinework was. At least those five shades of green were different enough you could tell what color was what. This thing is four or five shades of blue, a couple medium greys, and white and a light grey that's almost white. Most of the colors blend together so well that I have had to be extremely careful not to mess things up!

Time for books, a nap and then work. Hugs, all! And if you go out shopping today, BE SAFE!
