Have a Great Day!

I forced my tired, slightly headache'y self to go to my exercise class yesterday on a cold, ultimately sunny morning and felt much better for it. I overheard one lady saying she's been overshopping for Xmas as usual and buying too much for herself.

Afterwards, I picked up new 2011 desk calendars from the bank as I had to do a few transactions anyway. The lady at the bank told me her 10 year old still doesn't know about Santa, although he might suspect.

I decided to make an overdue trip to a hardware store yesterday to do a bit of 'shopping'. I'm at home in a mall, but a hardware store is a different place, I'm totally lost. Perhaps because there is no interest. Anyway, I found mostly what I was looking for within an hour. I wanted a small hammer, a multi-bit screwdriver and a new lock for the gym. I also got a carebiner bungee cord with hooks for K's next field trip in the new year. He's going on a toboggan/snowshoeing expedition, but thankfully they will be in cabins this time. His gym teacher is one of the few people who gets paid doing work they love.

I can't figure out K's latest Science lesson and neither can he. It's to do with colour subtraction. Hopefully some light will be shed on that soon. He's on school vacation at the end of the week and looking forward to Christmas. It's nice that a kid any age can look forward to Christmas.

Our furnace broke again yesterday evening but luckily the furnace guys were able to come and fix the problem, we needed a new motherboard ($400 plus), but it was 14 years old, not bad. You do take central heat for granted until you lose it. And those furnace guys are heroes in my mind.

Have a great day!
