The End of the New Week...Already

Well...although I am tickled to greet you with...

HAPPY FRIDAY!

...I regret to inform you that nothing spectacular and exciting has happened, that has kept me too busy to blog. But just to keep you up to speed, here have been the week's happenings:

Tuesday - the Headquarters staff had our Christmas dinner. This is only my second one, since I've only been here almost two years. (Can you believe it??? My, how the time does fly.) I really enjoyed it, though. We did a gift exchange, well, sort of. It's more like, as our name is drawn, we just pick out a wrapped gift. Only those who wrapped them know what they are. And guess what I got? An electric griddle! How cool is that? I have always wanted one, because I think they are so awesome! So you know what that means, right? Yep, I'll actually be cooking every two weeks now, instead of only about once per month. :o)

Wednesday - a pretty typical day. Ate, worked, went to Church, slept.

Thursday - another pretty typical day, except my computer at work was having SERIOUS issues. I was working along, just minding my own business, when suddenly - it appeared - the blue screen of death. And every time I restarted, within 10 minutes, it had returned. This happened three different times before I called for help. And THEN...I couldn't get it to operate in what's called "safe mode", because it would act like it was going to work, then take me back to a utility menu. Goofy machine! So that knocked me out of getting anything productive done while here at work. So Brother Kryss worked like crazy to try and get it back up and running again. At first, it was thought that I had lost everything on my hard drive. So I took an early lunch, in hopes that everything would be back to "normal" upon my return. Not so, not so. Whatever was going on, my computer basically decided it just might give up the ghost. At the end of the day, Brother Kryss had done all he could do, and tried again this morning.

We did have our weekly VLB Bible study, also, about idolatry, with some really good discussion. Then it was off to the house for some shut-eye.

And then we have...

Today - as I said in the beginning, HAPPY FRIDAY! Brother Kryss was able to restore my hard drive, but the prognosis is not good. It probably doesn't have much life left. Poor thing. But at least I can get some good work done today!

As for Blue - he is Blue. Nothing new to report with him. He is just as entertaining as ever. By the way - our neighbor with the Rottweilers has relocated them all to another location. Not sure where that is, but at the very least, we can all rest more easily now.

So that's it, in a nutshell. This weekend's plans? I'm meeting a few friends I used to work with on Saturday for lunch, and Sunday evening is our Christmas program at our local church. Then Monday is yet another great goody day at Headquarters, and for this one, I'll be making pigs-in-a-blanket, chicken cheese ball, and maybe something else. But we'll see. :o)

Have a wonderfully blessed weekend!
