Full week ahead

Made it past the weekend with out any serious damage. Able to fix the brakes on my son's cars without too many scrapes/scars (although there a number of choice words expressed). Forgot how fun brake springs can be. Nothing like trying to coax a very stubborn spring back into place and have it launch clear across the garage. Seems a lot funier now that at the time. My dog has gotten to the point he will get up and leave if I start uttering any profane language, and he up & dissappeared on me for the rest of the afternoon. As much of a pain as it was, I like that sort of work and am glad to have that out of the way for now.

Much to do this week. Lots of reports to write and audit plans to make. Trying to make plans for a road trip later this month to visit my kid on the west coast. Plane tickets and car resevations booked. Now looking for a hotel that won't cost me a mortgage payment. Looking forward to a good trip when we can get all of the pre-flight prep done. Got a doctor's appointment this afternoon (dermatologist). I've already had most of the major, exciting/fun exams done and, after my round earlier this year with the urologist, figured I would get checked out for any other issues. Who ever said getting old was fun was definitely feeding me a line of bull...

Sometimes those trying jobs are the most satisfying. At least until you have to do them again.

Hope you can get all your travel plans in order without breaking the bank!

Too late for that.

Sometimes you just have to cowboy up the $$ in order to make the trip (I am still working on negotiating the best prices). Besides, this is a chance for momma to check up on her little offspring who has been enjoying life out in California for the past few months.
