WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I survived yet another Christmas in retail! Even better, I am mobile again now that my transmission is fixed. Best of all, the weird “Service Engine Soon” light finally blinked off today of its own volition. Things are starting to look up! Kevin and I had a great (and oh-so-eventful) Christmas day here in Ft. Worth, and we are looking forward to seeing the Florida gang this Saturday (with the special bonus of Sonny and JoJo!). The laundry is done, the house is clean, the pet-sitters are scheduled, and the bags are packed. Now all we need to do is hop a flight, and we’ll be there before you know it! We’ll see everyone soon!
