of the month. Anne?s gone to do the banking so we can get our rent paid and I can WU that cash off to Markus and begin to pay the bill. I haven?t WU any cash before little alone into Europe into a strange currency. Well it?s strange to me, so this will be a bit of an experiment. We?re setting things up now. I?ll get the WIP bar program next weekend. Sorry Margaret, I?d like to do both but I simply don?t have the cash and to get my hair cut after I WU Markus the money. I?m hoping to do this Sat.

I went to bed about 2:30am and listened to a bit of Coast but when they began talking about Cattle mutilations, that?s when I said okay, ?good night from me.? There were a few references to Ufology here and there. I got up several times to use the bathroom and up to do the cbi thing about 6am and went back to bed. So I think I got 4 hours sleep. Trying to sleep when I got back to bed was rough. I couldn?t sleep very well, mainly because Anne was tossing and turning all morning.. I think I got maybe 2 hours possibly 3.

At the moment its -15/22. A lot warmer then --25/34 we had the other day. It feels almost balmy.

The Oilers ended up losing 7-3. Yikes, They haven?t been beaten this bad I don?t think all season. Smyth, Lupul, Sykora all got a goal and that was about it. The first period was great but things fell apart from there.

Anyway, I got a bit over an hour left here before I get ready to go into work. For the next little while I think I?m going to work some afternoons. Maybe not this week obviously but next week for sure Mon-Tues. This will give me 28.5 hours. I?d like to save up enough to get my computer fixed up and that will most likely cost me $80. Bestbuy has their Geek squad and they come over to your place and service computers. I?d have Anne here while he/she is working to recover my desktop/files. They might chare $20 bucks just to get out here. I don?t know a lot about this yet. I also want MS word and that?s a $200 item. I also want a new printer and a Mac mini and a PS3 as well eventually this year. The Mac I can get if Anne takes out some of that pension money maybe in the spring, so I?m going to have to start pitting in some more hours beginning next week. I?ll probably do Mon, Tues, Wed. That?ll give me 32.5 hors in and after I pay my share of the bills, that?d get me $127 to play with of my own money. So, I will do this next week. (I hope)
