Enjoying the Tuesdays

Yesterday was my second Tuesday off. I'm really digging this 10 Tuesday off thing I came up with to make up for vacation time I was owed for last year.

Helping the Bottom-line

Dad has been calmer now. The last few days have seen us busy thanks to the snow early last week. I believe what is also helping is that Dad has made some money saving measures. He is now closing the automatic touch-frees during overnight major freezings instead of Lois. Vince has agreed to only be... Sign in to see full entry.
