Having a work holiday so soon after Christmas always seems odd to me. But I’ll take it anyway, I guess. Monday was MLK day so I had the day off. I went to Menard’s in the morning (I’ve been finally coming back to the basement of the house…it’s been unfinished too long. I’m doing some plastering and getting the door trim put back up.) and did some work downstairs but that was about it for the day. Only left the house to go to Starbucks otherwise. 

Wednesday was Beth’s birthday (59!) so we all went out to dinner at Salvatori’s to celebrate. I got her a card and some flowers at lunchtime, but she wasn’t home so I just left them for her to find. She likes stuff like that. Nothing else special since we have some plans to do a weekend getaway in FW next weekend, because the special thing we’re going to do was unavailable this weekend. Tune in later for more on that. 

Today, church was cancelled because of the weather. Basically everything’s been cancelled because of the weather lately, it’s been super cold and we’ve had a lot of snow. Just as well, because the church van is in the shop with a bad battery, a check engine light, and the hood won’t open (sounds familiar) so it was unavailable for morning pickups and we had several that were coming for baptisms. But it was bad enough outside for services to be cancelled, so that problem solved, anyway.
