Well, besides sleeping mostly in the daytime, I have been dealing with (the past couple nights) with our satellite receiver locking up at the most in opportune moments. So, I have been keeping track of each time it has locked up & have had to manually reset it each time it locks up. UGH! It's been frustrating to say the least!Thankfully, I called DISH Network & they are sending us a new receiver. It should be here tomorrow. I hope so... I really don't want it to lock up while trying to watch "LOST". Bad enough we missed 10 minutes of "24" last night!! LOL!!
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know I'm doing fine. Just still taking it easy from the computer while hubby has been home. Also, I have been a little bit of a craze lately... Jigsaw puzzles!! I will be posting more about that in a day or so.
On, another note... as mentioned in a prior blog... it's official... I will be going on "vacation" again this year to see my dad. Again, as mentioned, he's now living in Arizona... so, I'll have a new whole set of photos to share. HOWEVER... keep in mind... no well wishes for a nice vacation needed just yet. For it won't be until mid April before I go.
Just wanted to mention that all I need to do is find a good price on tickets before it's finalized... we were not quite sure if I was going until hubby got back the tax return & his vacation pay. Which he did the other day.
Oh... speaking of... we had gone over what needed paid or fixed & one big thing that was going to need to be done was the front end on my truck. Well, hubby took it to the garage he trusts & they looked at it & they found nothing wrong except the ball joints had lost their grease. (Don't know if that's unusual or not.) So, that was something he was able to do here at home.
While doing that he found that a stabilizer link was snapped in two. However, that's another thing he can fix himself... & is not near as expensive as if it had been the front end!! WHEW!!
That's a HUGE relief on our "wallet"... I mean a HUGE relief!! Maybe we can put a little of that money saved into savings for emergency use!!Anyway... that's all for the moment. **HUGS**
*TOODLES*
Thrilled that the truck repairs could be done at home. They can be SO expensive! Glad to that you got your refunds. Some states I hear aren't returning tax refunds.
ReplyDeletewow.. got lucky there with the stablizer joint .. that must be why the ball joints lost their greese ~grins~
ReplyDeletethe night time daytime thing.. I hate it cause I gotta get up no matter what little ones to get to school sigh. mysty
It's good to hear you got your refunds and hubby's vacation pay! We haven't even filed our taxes yet. We'll probably do so in the coming weeks.. we finally have everything we need to file them now. Of course, we'll probably owe some for Federal taxes, but maybe we'll get something back from State. We always shoot to break even anyways, and usually come pretty close.
ReplyDeleteGlad that your truck didn't need much work! :o)
It's always good if you can save on the car repairs.....
ReplyDeleteand if it's nothing really major to be fixed!
I wonder, since you mentioned Dish.....if it's a satellite problem.....
Ours has been messing up the last few days AND at the wrong times! Aarrgghh! :)
Lost should be really good tomorrow night!
Hugs!
i love jigsaw puzzles!! i still have 2 in my closet that i want to put together!!
ReplyDeleteSo, you only managed to watch 23:50, instead of 24, that must be frustrating. ;P
ReplyDeleteGood news about the truck. :)
*hugs*
Glad the truck was not a real big ticket item an you are going to see your dad . Both good news!!!

ReplyDeleteI always hated the dish net work. It always caused me trouble..but then i hear of others that jus tlove it..so i don't know..hugss
ReplyDeleteWe have plain old free tv. I hate car trouble; it's the worst, in my opinion. Glad it wasn't too costly.
ReplyDeleteYou know, for some reason, this didn't come to my in box. :^(
How wonderful that you are going to be able to see your dad! Dads are so precious. I'm very happy for you.
