Well, it started very lucky for me.  We have been without transport for a few months.  My daughter got her driver's licence (finally) last month, and bought a secondhand car yesterday.  I got a ride to my job this morning with her!  Great!  No more catching rides or taxis to get to work!

Turned out to be lucky for me so far.  I had my carpets cleaned this morning and we were talking about going for a transplant.  Turns out the guy knew someone on D and he gave me a serious price reduction of almost $100.  He seemed amazed that I didn't seem sick and I helped him move the furniture.  Oh yeah.  Thanks Frank!!!

No voice when I woke up, a soft voice for 1st hour at work, then two Tylenol and I could talk. Sinuses are raising hell right now with me.  But overall a good day! I had a parent send me Hersheys Dark chocolate with almonds today as a thank you for helping her son!

The jeep has been having overheating problems.  First the radiator, now it seems the gasket is in trouble.  One problem is that it was a Japanese vehicle so the parts are not so easy to get.  I am hoping that it will be back on the road soon.
