CHILLY SATURDAY
Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2010 6:36 amGOOD MORNING ALL!
At just a tad above freezing here this morning, 33 degrees, it is nippy out there, to say the least! My electric heater had a workout last night as Molly and I slept very comfortably in the trailer. I hate to see this coldness happening. I do love fall with all of its colors, but fall also means hunting season when killers will be stalking our woods, and it means that snow won't be far behind. I still have tons to do before I figure on moving south for a while.
I got my new SPOT GPS gadget yesterday, and it WORKS!!! It sent a test message to me, my son, and my daughter----it texted them on their cell phones as well as leaving an email message on their computers, and it gave me an email message, as I still don't know how to get text messages on my phone (and I have no reception here anyway.) It didn't take long at all for it to find my position, and it sends those coordinates via email with a link to find me on a map in Google. I LOVE that it works! I could have really used it all these years hiking and cross-country skiing alone. Oh well----I have it now. There is a lot more it can do, and I will study it more today and in the days to come. I also need to learn how to read text messages on my phone, I guess!
I also deposited my incentive check from school, so I now have at least a slight amount of backup money for emergencies. As I have still been able to make my large loan payments, I will continue to finish that off and leave my money alone. Most of the interest has already been paid on the loan anyway, as there are only about two or three more payments to make on that. I like seeing some money in the bank very much----a comfort to know I have at least SOMETHING.
Now I need to order my Pressure Pro tire monitor, which I may be able to pay for with substituting money, at least in part. I have one day in the elementary school already scheduled for October 4th. Money coming in will be nice!
This morning I pick up my friend, Kathy, arriving from CA via Boston. She left late last night from CA, has about a 4 hour layover in Boston (poor girl) and will get here at about 10:30. She will be exhausted, so I will bring her a cup of hot coffee and one of my pistachio muffins! Molly is staring me down for her breakfast, so off I will go to do some last minute chores here. I hope all on the roads are having a good day, and that GTG in Arkansas will be a fun time. I hope to see pics from that.
Coffee is hot, so stop by and update us on what is going on in your life. Happy Saturday to all!
