Waiting for the other shoe to drop...

 Well, I have my car back.  I refuse to tempt fate by crowing about it.  My car is diminished in my eyes...it's a bitter pill.  First thing this morning; the "check engine" light went on...again.  I made an irate call to the service garage...again.  They got the manager on the phone who assured me that it is a "false code" and nothing to worry about.

The "check engine" light glows on my dash display like an evil ember of impending doom.  I am not mollified.  If it's still on next week I'm taking the damn car back in.  *sigh*  It hurts to watch an old friend fall apart.  It's like seeing your favorite college professor at a party throwing up in the bushes.  It shakes your confidence.

Meanwhile; busy busy.  With the car back, I once again returned to my role as "supermom/superbusinesswoman" & I had a LOT to do today.  Several packages mailed to Etsy buyers.  That enterprise is going very well.  I used some of my PayPal windfall to purchase a showcase...it's for the 23rd this month & I'm hopeful about the response.

I'm working on some small masks for my Etsy site.  See?  My desk tonight:

( Work blah blah... )

Scaryhuge storms moving across the Midwest tonight, knocking on Western New York's door by tomorrow.  It's been in the mid to high seventies yesterday & today...nearly eighty tomorrow.  Our local weatherman already used the term "tornado outbreak" regarding tomorrow.    Scary stuff!  I'm glad Char doesn't have classes tomorrow...that's a fortunate thing.

Oh!  Another fortunate thing;  Okami is coming to the Wii!  This means I'm going to have two versions of the same game.  Redundancy is a good thing.  Also, it may mean that there are renewed hopes for a sequel.  That would make me a very happy chimp.

ok...back to work I think.
