Day 17

The Focus, the wood pile, the dance and the back ache...


The Day

More of the same at work today.  Went to the office for a half day with a primary goal of selling our Focus to a coworker.  The deal finalized today.  Will miss that car, it was a good car that was dependable and fun to drive (it could turn on a dime).

Worked the rest of the day from home as we had a wood pile delivered today.  Wanted to get the delivery in before going away next week as we are now out of seasoned wood.  This way they have wood to use while I am away (to cut down on the propane use).

The wood arrived and was dumped on the lawn.  I had to pile it myself but fortunately Chris and Kayla helped.  It was a lot of wood and I was feeling it by the time we were finished.  At least that should cover us for the rest of the winter.  That should net us a gain of a couple hundred dollars with what it takes off the propane bills.  Next step is hopefully getting converted to natural gas.

Chris and Ray went out tonight and Kayla had a dance at school so I had a couple hours of quiet time to relax.  This also gave my back time to tighten up.  Definitely feeling it now.  Luckily it feels muscular at this point so that can be worked through.  No disc issues, which is the biggest concern as that could mean no Vegas trip and I am looking forward to getting to 70 degree weather for a couple days.

Picked Kayla up from the dance, she had a good time with her friends.  She looks exhausted from helping out with the wood pile and then the dance.

We relaxed a bit and watched Monk before she headed off to get some sleep.  We have an early Wings game tomorrow (noon) and may go up early to take the train into Philly and then walk the Gallery after the game before we head home.  It all depends on how my back feels when I wake up.

Relaxing now, playing a board game tournament online (card game called Dragonheart).  Looks like I get a first round bye as the other player is a no show.  :-)

I think a few minutes in the hot tub might be in order tonight.
