Well, I was planning on calling my doctor's office and paying the amount left after insurance today after school. So when I got home, I got the bill out and began looking for the number. The last time I'd been there was in June? and they have a new phone number (moved offices) so the number I have for them in my PPO book is wrong, and I forgot to change the number on my cell phone. Well, there was 8 of 10 numbers of a telephone number (972) 239-44 ! Yeah, that's going to do me a lot of good! I tried looking up the number by the name of the two doctor's there, but no luck. Then I tried to find it by putting the addres into the search bar, but still no luck. I might just have to stop by there in person on Friday after school.

On the way home from work I was sorely tempted to go to Wal-mart and get those Sun Belt granola bars. I don't know why, but those things have just been calling my name. Instead, I went home and warmed up the last three hot dogs, and ate one of the tootsie pops left over from the kids treat last week. Later, I think I'll make myself a nice tall mug of hot chocolate. Mmmm!

My apartment fix it up people came by today. They think the leak was from my hot water heater - apparently there was a small leak at the bottom of the WH, and then there was also a small hole in the pan. I'd noticed that water there before in the pan, but thought that it was just condensation or something. I'm not sure if that really is the true source or not, cause my ceiling is STILL leaking!

Bummers - we didn't get any snow today, but it sure was cold enough (for Texas at least). Someone said that this was probably our last chance for snow this winter. WAHH!! I missed our one and only snowstorm this year because I was in CA for Christmas!!

I'm going to go make that hot chocolate and head on upstairs to my nice warm electric blanket. I wish my computer was upstairs so I could be semi warm while at it, but there isn't any room for it.

After work today I went to CVS and got 4 Speedstick deoderents and 2 Softsoap Body Wash's for free - after coupons. The cashier was very nice, and very happy for me. I told her that all the coupons were in this past Sunday's paper.

This summer I took a class that my employer paid for. Today in the mail I got a 1098 form with I guess how much that class cost. I've already filed my taxes because I didn't even think about having to pay taxes on the supposedly free class. It was a great class, even though I ended up not being able to use any of it - thanks politics! I guess I'm going to have to call the conference tomorrow and find out what this is all about.

The apartment person still hasn't come to checik my leak out. I guess if it falls in or something they can't blame me, since I first told them about it nearly a month ago!

Brrr... it is cold. We *might* get an inch of snow by morning, but it doesn't look like it'll be enough to close school. Oh well, I'd rather have the long weekend.

74 school days to go.
