Tonight,I am feeling okay.I had a pretty eventful day today.
I did quite a bit.I dropped a holiday card off at a house that I had forgotten to send it too when I initially sent out the holiday cards.After that,I went to a local drug store and bought a Hannah Montana calendar for my eldest grand niece and I hope that she really enjoys that.
But before I did any of these things,I had to shovel the sidewalk by the house and I also had to clear the way for the mail person on the front porch.That way,we would get our mail and there would be no problems.It was a very hard job doing all of that shovelling because of the high volume of snow that was on the sidewalk due to the terrible snowstorm that we had yesterday.According to the National Weather Service,we are supposed to get more snow.Oh well.This is the winter season and it is to be expected.I will have to shovel again when the time comes.
My mom and I went out to do some holiday shopping and to finally get the grocery shopping done.It took us several hours to get done.It also took me over 8 dollars in cab fare.But this couldn't be avoided.We were glad to get this done.We still need to do a little more holiday shopping before the holiday comes around.
Right now,the weather is COLD!!!!There is no snow falling at the moment but the weather is bitterly COLD and CHILLY!!!!Again,it is to be expected for this time of the year.My legs are hurting and the bone spur in my right foot is also hurting.The pain is excruciating.But I am hoping that it will pass.
After eating a light dinner,I decided to do some catching up on some personal PC work.It wasn't an awful lot but I am glad to get it done.
The only really disappointing thing is that I am staying home again tonight.The roads are really terrible and I still don't my 4X4 back on the road.It is still in the shop.But I am hoping to have it back on the road just in time for the holiday.
As for tomorrow,I will just stay home and take it easy.I have nothing else to do or anyplace to go.
That was my day today and my plans for the day tomorrow.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling okay.I had a pretty hectic day today.
I had an unexpected surprise when I arrived at work this morning.I found that I had the day off.At the moment,we are in the middle of a terrible snowstorm.It is blowing and drifting everywhere.It is also COLD!!!!The weather is really horrendous and the snow is really coming down.After I ate a light lunch,I left my work to go to the bus stop.
I waited for over 20 minutes for the bus to come.It was really blowing and the visibility was really terrible.I could hardly see down the street when I was looking out for a bus on my way to work and on my way home.I had to wear my sunglases so I could keep my eyes open because the snow was really falling into my eyes thanks to the high winds and I could hardly keep them open because of that.But when the bus came,I boarded and I headed for the bank.
Though the bank was a short distance away from the stop,I had a tough time getting there because of the weather.I almost slipped on some ice on the street and that was no help.But I made it.I cashed my paycheck and headed for the nearby stores in the area.
I went to a Dollar Tree in the area and bought some things at the store.I also went to a nearby supermarket and bought a few important things that were needed,especially one that I needed.After doing the shopping,I called a cab and headed for home.
When I got home,I opened the door but it got hit by a passing motorist.Fortunately,I didn't get hurt but the door got a small nick on it.It had to be beaten into shape again and the guy that did it offered to do it.I apologized to the cab driver for opening the door too early and that was great to work out.
When I got into the house,I got out of my clothes and into my pajamas to relax and lay down.I really did not do too much.I simply relaxed a bit because I was feeling tired.I didn't go to sleep but it was just great to lay down and take it easy from enduring the Winter storm that is happening right now.I am glad to be inside.
After I ate a light pasta dinner,I decided to do some catching up on some personal PC work.I also registered a whole bunch of new bills at the Where's George site.It was quite a lot.I had fun and now,they are on the site.
I did hear from the garage.Though my mechanic is on vacation for the last two weeks of the month,I heard from his sideman.He told me that the gas tank is on my 4X4,but he told me that there is still a leak.He is trying to locate the part that is needed.He also informed me that he has tried every auto parts store in town but they didn't have it.He told me that he would have to check with auto dealerships parts departments to see if they have it.He told me that he would resume the search on Monday and he hopes to have it soon.I will be heading to the garage on Monday anyway.I have to drop off some money at the garage as I promised my mechanic.I am hoping that the weather will be decent so I can bring it there.
I am now relaxing.I am just taking it easy and I am hoping that the storm we are currently having will end soon.
Since I have no car and because of the storm,I will have to stay home again.This will be the first time that I will be missing the annual Christmas party at the place where I entertain.If the weather does change,I will go out.If now,I'll stay home to be on the safe side.
That was my day today and my hopes for the start of the new week ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling okay.II had a pretty good day today.
The work shift went smoothly.It was pretty easy.I had only a little bit to do and when I was finished,I I headed for home.
On the way home,I stopped at a nearby post office.I had to mail out my monthly payment to the finance company.When I got that accomplished,I headed for a nearby bus stop to take the bus home.
When I got home,I simply relaxed for a bit and took it easy.I also phoned my mechanic and he assured me that he was working on my 4X4 well into the evening.He desperately wants me to get this back on the road again.He also wants to go on a two week vacation to visit with his family during the holidays and that is why he is working and racing against time.I am hoping that he can get this done tonight.I would hate having to wait two weeks for my vehicle to get back on the road.I have a temptation to call and see if the work is now completed.I am hoping that it is completed so I can pick it up and start driving it again.I would hate to wait another two weeks.I hope that it will be done by tomorrow.
Earlier this evening,I had to walk to a supermarket in my hometown to pick up a few things.I am glad that I did this.I just had to get out for a while.I was going bonkers just waiting for my vehicle to get out of the shop.It was a nice walk.I bought a few things that were needed and I managed to make it home.It is a bitterly cold night but I managed to get something accomplished.
I am now at home releaxing and I am just anticipating the next day.As stated,I am hoping that my 4X4 will be ready tomorrow morning.That would be really great.
Tomorrow is another work day.I am hoping that the shift goes smoothly.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling okay.I had a pretty good day today.
Since I had the day off today,I decided to do some catching up on some much needed important things that I had to do.I mailed out a bunch of Christmas cards.I also managed to stop over at my mechanic's garage to drop off the CD's that I had made for him.He really appreciated that.He also told me,in a hopeful manner,that my 4X4 could be ready by tomorrow or Friday.I was thrilled.After hearing this,I headed for a nearby bus stop to catch the bus to the nearby transit center.
Before heading for home,I headed for a local Dollar General store to pick up a couple of things that we needed at home.After paying for them,I headed for a nearby bus stop to go home.It took half an hour but when the bus came,I got on and headed for home.
When I got home,I took off my wet sneakers and my wet socks.I put a pair of clean and dry socks and changed into my sweatsuit.My mom and I decided to order a pizza for dinner and while eating,we watched another holiday video,which was The Flintstones:Christmas in Bedrock.It was really neat.
After that,I decided to do some catching up on some personal PC work.I am now done.
The only thing that I didn't get accomplished was that I forgot my payment for my monthly finance company bill.There is always tomorrow,which is what I will do after I am done with work.
As stated,tomorrow is a work day and I am hoping that the shift goes well.I am also hoping that when I call my mechanic tomorrow,my 4X4 will be all set for me to drive.After that,if that happens,I can finally get my life back on track.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling mixed emotions.The reason is that they haven't gotten around to putting the parts on my 4X4 yet.This really gotten me feeling at edge.I understand the dillemma that they are having at the garage but they have been promising me that they are going to start my vehicle soon,but I keep hearing the same old story everytime I turn around.I am getting tired of this.
Despite that,the work day went smoothly with no problems.But the news from my mechanic really threw me.I understand what he is going through.But I am also having problems.I can't help my family out with their stuff and I haven't even finished my shopping as of yet.This has been very stressful for me and I can't take it anymore.
Fortunately for me,I will be able to use the extra time that I have tomorrow to catch on some stuff.I have to mail out a check and a money order to the finance company this month for my payment on my line of credit.I also have several Christmas cards that I have to mail out.I have the day off and I am going to use the day to catch up on some much needed important things that I need to do before the month is out.This has been a very nerve wracking month for me.It has been one thing after another concerning my vehicle and all the other things.I am hoping that this situation gets resolved very soon.I don't think that I will be able to take much more of this.I am feeling anger and rage and I am also feeling over the edge over this.Why did that accident that happened to me over a month ago had to happen to me at a time like this?!I am just hoping that this whole thing is over soon and I wil be driving again.Again,this has been a very nerve wracking month and I don't know whether I'm coming or going.
Any prayers will be appreciated.Thanks in advance for them.
That was my day today.I am just hoping that everything works out for me tomorrow.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling a little bit better.I had a pretty fair day today but I did receive some very good news.
I managed to have a talk with my mechanic today and he is hoping to start on my vehicle eitehr later tonight or early tomorrow.He really wants me to start having a vehicle again and I am hoping that this can happen.I even told him that the CD's that I made for him were done and he thanked me.I hung up and started to get through the rest of the day.
I finished my personal PC work and I also ran an errand for my mom.I walked to a local convienience store to pick up a can of pasta sauce for dinner tonight.We had a light pasta dinner tonight and it was pretty filling.I also managed to get something for myself.
After eating and watching the news,I decided to do some catching up on some much needed personal PC work.I am glad that this is done and I can now relax and take it easy for the rest of the evening.
I am hoping that my vehicle will be ready by tomorrow.I have been without a vehicle for over a month now and it has been driving me crazy.
Tomorrow is a work day.I am hoping that the day goes smoothly.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling okay.I had a pretty good day today.
I really did not do too much today.The weather was a little chilly and it was raining for only a short time.I only went out to run one errand,which was to get a couple of things that my mom needed at a near by drug store.
After I got home,I decided to go upstairs and make another copy of a CD that I was making for my mechanic.I only did that because the first one did not turn out so well.There was a chunk of music missing on one song and I had to redo the whole thing all over again.Before I finalized the disc,Itest played it and this time,there were no problems.I just got done playing them both on my computer's CD-ROM drive and they both came out great.My mechanic,at least I hope,will really like these.Tomorrow,I will be calling him to let him know that they are ready and I would like to drop them off at his garage.I will be making him another CD in the near future.This time,it will be a CD of mixed songs.I will make it when I have another opportunity.Right now,the only thing that I am hoping is that my 4X4 will be on the road this coming week.
This morning,I listened to a sermon online and while listening to it,I did my personal PC work.It was an interesting sermon about the real meaning of Christmas and why Jesus Christ came to earth in the form of a man to save mankind.It was really nice and i enjoyed it immensely.I will be looking forward to next week's sermon.
While eating a light dinner,we watched the classic holiday story The Little Drummer Boy on DVD.It was really great to see this without commercial interruptions of any kind.Overall,a pretty good day.
Tomorrow is my day off.I am hoping that the day goes great.I will have to get to the post office tomorrow because I have to mail out my payment to the finance company and some Christmas cards.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ
