Christmas is nearly here. One week from today we’ll be ripping into presents and hopefully having a great day. Shopping is about 90% done at this point. Tree is standing and to be decorated today. Not doing to badly considering how busy the last few weeks have been. One point to note is I think our current tree is the new record holder coming in at 12′ 7″ from the floor to the tip top. Love it@
Work has been super busy the last month. Imaging every single principal laptop as well as each schools mobile carts (aka 14-40 laptops depending on the school). Going to be very nice come Friday and our two week break begins.
New piece to install in the subaru came in a few weeks back. Finally picked up a reverse camera to work with my head unit. Shouldn’t be too bad of an install however really cold weather and lack of ambition have slowed down the install. Hoping for a mild day over the break to get this done. Otherwise, the subie is just doing its job being a bad-ass all-wheel-drive snowy road eating little monster. Few cars can come close to the Subaru line when it comes it winter driving. Certainly not invincible, but holds on like few others can.
Some fresh drywall work being done on the stairwell to the basement. We bought a nice couch from a couple friends of ours and were determined to get it into the basement. Couple ambitious attempts, a door frame and several destroyed sections of drywall and we finally gave up. Now I have a bunch of work to do to hide the carnage of the failed attempt. Hopefully get it sorted out by the end of the holidays as well.
Finally since my last update, I’ve spent some time as a single father again. Shannon was away for a few days in Notawasaga for a work conference and then again for nearly a week in British Columbia visiting her brother. Thank God for my wonderful children. They couldn’t have been better behaved and easier for me to look after. Love these kids and how wonderfully they have grown over the years into amazing little people. Shannon and I must be doing something right. Shes home now, thankfully. As good as the kids were, we still missed Shannon quite a bit! Even if I did have to run to Toronto at 2am to get the spare keys to her after she misplaced hers during the trip.
