The job Tom wanted has been filled, not surprisingly, but he has an interview with the same company on Monday to see about other positions.

He has an eye exam scheduled for next Monday.

We got the pension money yesterday, so that’s one less thing we have to worry about.

Tom said we can still get a dog so long as we use a snake repellant, but we’ll see. That’s still a ways off if it does happen.

We took most of the filters out of the vents. They seemed to be restricting too much airflow, trapping most of the cold air under the house.

The Wings of Wonder ornaments came today, and of course one had to be broken, but that’s not why they’re going back. A drop of glue would’ve fixed the broken wings on one of them, it’s just that the Wings of Wonder aren’t so wondrous after all. They’re not what I thought they were. Online, they looked like sculpted little girls on sculpted flowers. Well, the flowers are sculpted, but the girls are actually pictures that were glued onto the flowers in an upright position. They just weren’t that nice. Fortunately, Ashton gives you up to a year to return stuff at their expense.

As for Barbie, I emailed them to ask what was up with her and all they said was she was sold out. So I asked them well, what does this mean? Does it mean I’m not going to get it at all, or are they waiting on a new shipment?

We’re going to be ordering $20 worth of little gifts from that catalog we get things from periodically. I’m getting a multicolored mobile of various glass shapes, a ring-toss game for us for when it cools down to go along with the Barbie kites he got for just pennies at the grocery store and 6 beautiful magnets of hummingbirds/flowers. I get a free gift of some kind too, to be shipped separately. I think it might be a little flower basket.
