Week two without my camera (Gin requested it for the week). I dove into the archives and pulled out the hairy pic of my younger days. I'm guessing I was 18 or 19 at the time I broke the camera. What happened to all that hair? I really don't want to go back and investigate. I just thought you would get a kick out of this caveman look I sported in my youth.
Another week spent in Chattanooga for work. I know the time is winding down. I just don't know when the alarm goes off when I wake up again in my own bed during the work week. I have mixed feelings about the whole situation and where I'll be in the next quarter or next year. I've been keeping my eyes and ears open for opportunities. A person has to be a fool to think employment with one company until retirement is even an option.
Gin and I had an enjoyable weekend together. Without a concert to attend, we settled for shopping and DVR watching on Saturday night. Before heading home we stopped at Patrick's for some fun time with Nolan and Dean. They were freshly awake from their naps and ready for some Grams and Pappy time. I was fussed at by Nolan when we arrived. He was at the front door and I just got out of the car. As I stared him down then took off my ball cap and threw it toward the front yard. Nolan stormed out of the house barefoot and fussed at me for throwing my hat.
"NO PAPPY!"
"Put your hat on!"
Gin and I had a good laugh over that one. We played with both boys for a little over an hour. Dean finally succumbed to hunger and the need to be fed and more sleep. Nolan was working on a bag of tortilla chips before our departure. A few good hugs and kisses were shared and we were off. Once home we enjoyed a spinach chicken pizza for dinner with a couple of cold ones to boot.
Today was a little more shopping, a lot of house work, room rearrangement and NFL playoffs on the big screen. I checked the kerosene heater for fuel, operation and cleanliness. I prepared the seed spreader with ice melt pellets in anticipation of Gin needing to treat the driveway before the potential storm this week when I'm gone. I moved a bunch of boxes and other unused items upstairs into storage. I also vacuumed the house and scrubbed the shower. Gin handled the laundry and rearrangement of the playroom for the TV and DVD player set up. We've been getting the room ready for a bed that Nolan can use at nap time and sleepovers.
I can't wait for spring to arrive. This has to be one of the coldest winter seasons we've had since we moved to South Carolina in 1994. We usually have a few days to several weeks of temperatures above 50 degrees between November and now. I'm not sure if we can count on one hand that many warm days. Oh well, keep your stick on the ice and your head in the air. It will thaw out eventually.
