What a Week

What a week it turned out to be. I got my E-Z Passes on Wednesday, I got my passport on Thursday and sold my Yamaha FJR on Friday! I loved my FJR but just couldn't ride it anymore due to my back and hip problems. I hated to sell it, but it was silly to keep it if I couldn't ride it. I had taken it to Don George's Sports Center to sell on commission almost a year ago. Yesterday Steve, my salesman, called me and let me know he had a buyer. I had recently told Steve to get whatever he could for it, I just wanted the money. So I was very pleased when he told me what my cut would be after taking out the commission. I got more then I thought I would end up with.

Within a few hours I was at the store to sign the paperwork expecting to get a check for the amount owed me. Imagine my surprise when Steve walked up to me and handed me a fist full of $100 bills! I went right to the bank and deposited it, most going into paying towards my home equity principal and the rest going towards paying off the work I had done on my Venture last month.

So now I have enough money saved up to have the new windows put in the house that I need so badly. My bills will all be paid up and now I can save up for my trip this summer up to the Adirondacks to spend time with friends.

I did spend a little of the cash to take Cory, Krista and Mason out for dinner and then later downloaded some music from itunes (Carly Simon's new album, some Goo Goo Dolls, some Kingston Trio that I was missing [drats, I still can't find the Tattooed Lady song] and one cut by Chris LeDoux [Life is a Highway])

This morning I continue fighting the cold or sinus infection I picked up this week, a relatively mild case but annoying just the same! I vacuumed up massive amounts of Saint Bernard hair and now must fight my way through a mountain of mail and get some laundry done. I also put the finishing touches on a couple of knitting projects so I can get back to work on a big knitting project that I'm actually getting paid for. Cory will also be over later so we can get some trash out to the road for the townwide spring trash pickup. No wonder weekends fly by so fast! There is just too much to do!!!!!!
