Getting Capped for Valentine's Day

[restoman]

NOW, with Bullet Points!!!

• I had advertisements in Craigslist for two of my apartments for the past 2 weeks. This weekend, both apartments were taken. YAY! That is a big relief for me.




• Josh and Tim have been working with me on my own house, fixing up the bedroom where Mark used to live. We tore out the old carpeting, installed a new oak floor, put drywall in the closet, repaired and repainted the walls and did a heavy cleaning of the whole place. It looks great! I had assumed that Bob would want to move into that room and out of the guest room upstairs, but now he says that he would rather stay where he is. So I guess I will turn it into a new guest room, or maybe an office.




• On Sunday I went to a stamp show here in town, in spite of the storm warnings. The show had sparse attendance due to the coming snow, but I left with some good deals on 3 stamp collections: Luxembourg, Sweden, and Greece. I stayed inside for the rest of the day going through the stamps while the snow accumulated outside.




• Tomorrow morning I have to get up early for an appointment with my dentist. I am getting capped for Valentine's Day. A month ago I had a root canal on a molar that broke. Now it is time to finish the job with a cap on the tooth. I am hoping this won't turn into a Valentine's Day Massacre!




• It snowed heavily yesterday and today. We got a total of about a foot of snow between both days. We haven't had a lot of snow this year. This storm gave a fresh new look to the dreary winter. Enjoy the pictures!

  I love the way the snow clings to the wires on the back fence in my yard.

  This gate is between my back yard, and Michael's back yard next door. The gate is overgrown with a Bittersweet vine.

  This small Spruce usually gets decorated with lights for Christmas, but this year the bad weather came too soon.

Congratulations on those bullet points. :-p

That stamp show sounds like lots of fun! I haven't spent much time on that hobby in the last few years, and I really want to get back to it. My great-grandfather's albums need some TLC!

I have a tooth that's been recommended for a crown, and I need to just buck up and get it done. I hate that sort of stuff.

Thanks, Mark! The steady income is nice.

Yeah, I hate having dental work done too, but the longer you wait, the worse the problem gets. Getting the crown was not too bad ~uncomfortable, but not much pain. Getting the root canal done a month ago was misery. A big part of the problem is that it is difficult to get at those back teeth. I hope it will be an easier situation for you.

Yeah, the stamp show was fun. I try to get to all 5 of the local shows, plus the Rochester show every year. Your great-grandfather's collection was quite nice as I remember. The Scott's "brown albums" were the best albums available in their day, and are still considered a top-notch album even though they have been out of print in that format for decades.
