End of the week!

Thankfully, it is the end of the week. I am looking forward to a couple of days off without the stress of last weekend. Goodness knows, I might actually accomplish something this time! Last weekend was so stressful that I simply could not get much done. This week has not been much better, what with having to ride to work with hubby and all, whilst he works on the dash lights for the Escort, seeings how they do not work. Turns out all the bulbs are burned out. The tops of them are black with soot inside. But the instrument panel comes out easily without having to drop the steering wheel or pull the dash to get at them.

The kittens are growing so fast. What is funny is so many of them have decided I am Momma and good for cuddles at any time. They know I am a sucker for a furry face, head bumps and purrs. I got woken up this morning by SIX of them all sitting on or next to me, head bumping, purring, blerting, and washing my face and neck. It tickled so much!

The ad for the car on Craigslist is generating some interest, but I have also contacted the local community college and left a message with advising there about it. A young person would love having the Aveo. It needs work, but some mechanically-minded youngster would have fun fixing it up and tooling around in it for a few years. It would be a good beater for them to go to school, a part-time job and to hang out with their buddies, once it was fixed up a bit. The receptionist at the college got excited when I told him why I was calling. "Oh yeah!!! Some of our vo-tech students would love to have something to mess around with. Let me connect you to advising!" I had to leave a voicemeail. but at least I am getting the word out. Victor is NOT going to the scrapyard yet if I can help it, not when he has some good life in him yet.

Time to clean kitty boxes and pull together for work. Yay me. Now if rumors are true and we only get a partial day today, yes it would hurt the paycheck next week, but it would mean making the grocery run tonight to get some staples and go from there without fighting crowds tomorrow. Add in that it would cut some time from tomorrow's schedule, as hubby and I have a movie date tomorrow night. Separate movies (he wants to finally see Furious7 and I want to see Avengers: Age of Ultron), but we will both have fun this way without wanting to doze off in mid-movie!

My mood is not really that much better sadly, but at least not I do not want to sound off as a Negative Nellie! So I am off for the day, folks! Hugs and love - SO much to get even just a little done on them and I need to get busy!

Oh yeah - do not forget that the webstore, small as it is, does have a coupon starting today and running through the 17th for 10% off orders of $20 and up! Use code MEMDAY2015 for the discount!!!! I have added a bunch of new goodies (crafts and small decor) and more is being added (almost) daily! Go here:
