High/Low 1.9.05

Morning....

It's 7 o'clock.. on January 9th.. and it's already 50 degrees here... Hello! It's supposed to get into the high 50's almost 60 today! Wow. If our winters stay like this until it turns spring.. is A-OK with me!

So Friday I dropped my car off at VW to get checked out.. sans loaner car.. Hung out with my friend Janet Friday nite (she was so gracious to be my chauffeur) and then Saturday the dealership called me. They had to change out the catallitic converter... I'm still under the impression that that's a big deal...They fixed the turn signal clicky issue I was having..(both things under warranty! rockin!) but found out that the slight rattling under my car was from a piece of the car that rusted off that needed to be welded on to the tune of 170 bucks. So I want to take it to get an estimate... somewhere else. But I can tell the car is running smoother.. and the turn signal click isn't possessed anymore. Thank goodness!!

The most exciting news of the weekend to me.. is Saturday I got my first (and hopefully not the last) Consignment Check from having my cards in that shop 'A Show of Hands'.. The owners wrote a nice letter.. saying how well the store is doing.. and gave me a check with a list of what's been sold so far.. vs. how many cards are still in their inventory. I am selling my cards to the shop for $3.00 a card, and they sold 5 cards.. so the check was for $15.00. Not a lot of money.. but the most meaningful thing to me is that 5 strangers have MY cards! Can relate to MY experiences.. and hopefully those 5 people will give them to someone who can also relate! That's the most amazing part. very gratifying! And.. they sold 5 cards in under 30 days.. i only gave them my cards on December 10th.... so that's not bad! Anyway.. that was TRES exciting for me! I keep looking at the letter I got.... I'm really proud of myself!!!

ok all. off into another week. I'm off Friday to do that Medical Study with the National Institute of Health about Post Tramatic Stress Disorder. So this is a short week for me!

onward and upward!
