OK, so it has been a long time again. Work has been crazy busy. I have been stressed. I gained about 10 pounds...did a lot of sleeping (or feeling sleepy anyway)... Now I've lost the weight...for the most part. I feel better anyway. I've started to do a bit of excercise, but it's hard to find the motivation. The short daylight period defintely does NOT help.
We are trying to sell our house and it is supposed to be listed tomorrow! The pics are being taken tomorrow morning and the signs are going up on the front lawn and on the back fence. We had to do a few days worth of work in order for us to be comfortable in selling it. H painted the main floor bathroom, I finished the trim in the ensuite and I finished the tiling around the fireplace. It all looks great.
A is talking like crazy now. She's sleeping in a toddler bed too! It was a tough transition for a few days, but she goes right to bed fairly easily now.
E is still talking like crazy. We've had to deal with a few 'fibbing' issues this year, but whatever, he's developing his independence. He just had a concert...cute to see them all up there singin'. We just started watching Harry Potter - The Philosopher's Stone this morning before work. He thought that was pretty great.
The car is running better now. I had to get the timing adjusted recently because it was advanced about 4 degrees too far, which I think caused too much knock and then rough running because it destroyed one plug...luckily no engine damage.
I am having steering issues. I had to replace a tie-rod (below...attached to steering)...no biggie...that only cost about $40 and about 1 hour of my time.
Unfortunately the CV boot is torn too. All the grease has made its way out of the boot and is now all over the wheel. And of course the ubiquitous salt and dirt has made its way into the joint. I'll have to work on it in the spring...kinda a big job. It sounds terrible right now.
There was an incredible snow storm a couple of weeks ago. LOTS of snow. Fun to drive in! Woohoo all wheel drive!
I wanted to install my SAFC-II tonight, but I need sleep...
Cheers
