joeychenthe old one (well, it was only 2 yrs old, so that kinda sucked) crapped out it's motherboard. Looked on Costco.com and they had a nice HP refurbished laptop for $500, clicky cliky and now it's here. Gotta try and pull all the stuff of the old one, but that's a project for Chris :)
This is actually now the nicest, fastest, biggest storage computer in the house, haha.
so, Xmas was nice. Dinner turned out great! My first attempt at the family recipe Cauliflower Gratin turned out quite respectably! We still have leftovers tho, that should really just get tossed.
Sunday night after Xmas we went over to a gathering at Chris's friends place, and lots of nice spicy food and too much drink and I was not happy on Monday and went home after 1/2 hour. Don't know if it was too much excess, or mild food poisoning, but ugh. Being sick while driving, not good (sorry, TMI? haha)
A result of being sick is that my back muscles between my shoulder blades have been f*ed, that and also I fell asleep weirdly on my back Tuesday night for a couple of hours. We went over to an ArtCar friend's place for NYE, and it was nice, but I was in so much pain I only lasted till 10:45 then we went home.
The next day we went into the city for a party at a scooter friend's place, and she had a gal there doing chair massages, which I did, and which helped! She's a massuese that will come to your place, so I actually had a massage at home tonight and it was lovely! So nice not to have to go somewhere afterwards! Very reasonable rates too. Yesterday my back felt a lot better, but then I musta slept weird again cause this morning till 11am it was horrible! I was so relieved when it finally loosened up. So the timing of the massage was great.
This last weekend was great. Got a suprising amount done! Cleaned the bathroom. Went thru the bookcase in our room and culled out 4 boxes of book to sell/donate. Chris and I also made major strides in cleaning up the garage, it's looking so much better now and we're not even done! I'm hoping to be able to get rid of the wardrobe in the kitchen and move that stuff (including the bike gear - jacket and helmets) into the garage. Then the kitchen will be so much more open!
BWO (Big Wet One) rally this weekend, and forecast looks nice, phew! Yeah, BWO is the theme, but I'd still rather not ride in the rain. It's an inter-club rally, which is always nice. We're hosting the alley cat race on Sat.
