Sunshine & Smiles & Summary....

I am sitting in my house, somewhat cold and avoiding a likely cold shower.  I turned off the furnace yesterday as I was too lazy to reset the settings.  It was just easier.  Fortunately though, the gas was shutoff by the gas company for the work in the neighborhood, so wouldn't have mattered anyway.  The house is 63 degrees, so nothing too terrible, not as bad as the cold shower.  The pilots will be relit by the gas company later today.

The City Assessor came by and visited for a matter of 3.5 minutes, literally.  He looked at the 3/4 bath for about two minutes and then looked at the egress window and recreation room.  He said, "This is considered recreational space due to the ceiling.  It is not living space."  And then, he left.  So, my taxes shouldn't be too affected.

My car is officially done, a day early!  I have been driving a Toyota Yaris and for purposes of brevity (I know, really? ME?), I will never buy one!  I'm looking forward to picking up MY car today!  On a side note, JN confirmed that this paycheck has our longevity pay - so extra bonus for replacing my hood, no additional out of pocket expense!

I went to the ENT (Ear/Nose/Throat) doctor the other day.  Long story short - I felt dumb and was told I have "crusties".  So I don't have some crazy malady but I was given a saline wash and a steroid to use.  I did fill the prescriptions and they sit on my counter.  I'm having a hard time accepting that I will have to stick something other than my finger up my nose.  I realize they aren't doing me any good in their boxes on the counter, but this is going to take me time to take this leap!  Until then, the side affects of the deviated septum: crusties, pain/irritation, sore throat (due to mouth breathing at night) and irritated ears will prevail. 

While at the ENT, he inquired about my thyroid.  He was the specialist I saw years ago to follow up with my nodule/goiter.  I hadn't been called back for a recheck since 8/2008.  So in about an hour, I will have a follow up ultrasound to see that everything is maintaining.

I took yesterday off as surprisingly, I have been working a lot of late hours.  I have even made seven tie blankets for foster kids and plan on making one daily until I just can't tie anymore (a project at work that all the fleece was purchased - they just need people to make them!  So I have been literally "tying one on!)!  I spent the day with MS.  We had a great time and I really enjoy his company!  I left him to meet JN for drinks and appetizers.  I haven't seen her in a while and while I wasn't looking forward to leaving MS, I had a great time catching up with JN.  She asked if MS and I were "Just hanging out or dating."  I'm declining any other options to hang out with anyone else because I only want to date MS, but that didn't really answer the question.

Then there at dinner, MS texted me, "Miss me yet? Lol, just wanted to make you smile :)"  I accidentally hit reply without sending anything.  So I sent the following, "Oops sorry about no comment.  I was rendered speechless =) I do miss you!"

And his response, that in this morning makes me shudder with happiness instead of shivering with chills in the coolness of my house...

"Miss you too, can't stop thinking about you.  I am falling for you BIG TIME, prob already fallen just don't want to admit is yet :) " 

Sigh...Can't wait to see him again...and what a fantastic feeling!
