I got out of bed to see our first snow Tuesday morning it was about -4c and still snowing (7:20am).the forecast was for it to turn to rain later in the morning with a high of 5c. Which it did then promptly frozen making driving hazardous for the Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. I thank god for my ABS brakes yet again after another black ice episode Tuesday night. I really should learn to skate.

Pretty uneventful week if you discount Gemma's announcement that next year after graduating from high school she will be going to Toronto to be a teenager,   of course Julie was instantly worried about her baby in the big city.

.She is only half heartedly trying to get a job it will take alot more effort on her side. Plus what can I say as I left home at 16 to join the Army and Julie was 20 when we were married? I do wonder how my mum coped with me coming home and saying "OK I'm all grown up now and joining the Army" at 16. I was about 5' 4" and didn't even have a bum-fluff moustache!

Personally I am not too worried because before she can go she will have to accumulate some of the green stuff and as she hasn't a job and her list of things she is going to buy with her pay check is longer than two orangutan’s outstretched arms.

Counted up the sales from Julie's craft show and she covered her show costs(excluding the initial investment in building the booth which will be used for the next shows)..  So thats good news as we had low expectations of selling enough in the first couple of shows. Who knows I may be able to retire in January  (not sure which year).

I suppose you are wondering about Dr Z's needle work and pain delivery sessions? Well on Tuesday she announced that I was much improved and only needed for a pain session once a week.   Secretly I think it was because I didn't flinch when she inserted the needles and after she told me to relax I promptly fell asleep.  My face is returning to normal (if there ever was such a thing).
