It's raining again.

The weather has warmed, and it seems a typical, dreary Oregon day. 

It's hard to be inspired to accomplish anything of merit. 

Update on the Honda:  Howard says it will need some attention and directed me to Ken Ware for an estimate.  Unfortunately, the folks in the collision department at Ken Ware were enjoying an extended Christmas break.  Their services, however, were needed on Friday:  over twenty fender-benders occured due to the black ice and hail on the roads.  Thank goodness it's finally warmed up.  Despite the drizzle, I prefer that to ice.

My bell-ringing friend is dropping by tomorrow with her husband to look at the damages.  Sure, it's not dramatic, but it could rust out and cause damage to my faithful ten-year old car.  Plus, it just  bummed me out.   Not a nice Christmas surprise, Santa! 

Hopefully, next week I can get back on track:  start walking again, clean up around the house and get things ready for back-to-school on January 5.

Plus, the Beavers will play on New Year's Eve.
