Small Victories!

This is my spring break, and great things are happening.

My garage door is fixed, thanks to some nice young men with garage door smarts.

My plumber and I both decided that my brand of toilet was the problem.  (The guy that remodeled my bathroom 2 years ago had told me the same thing, but I had not heeded his advise.)  So, I have purchased a new toilet and had it installed.  It's a think of beauty, not to look at, but it just does everything a toilet is supposed to do, which is not something you think about until it doesn't.

After much work, my numbers are ready for me to take to my tax preparer tomorrow.  No, I don't do my own taxes.  Due to my rather complicated financial situation, everyone concerned is happier that I use a professional preparer. 

I have purchased new tires and had them mounted.  I didn't notice until I walked in the garage this morning that new tires have a pleasant "smell", kind of like a new car smell. 

Of course, none of these things are paid for yet, but that's another problem for another day.

On top of that, the weather has turned relatively warm over the last several days (highs in the 40's!) and the snow is melting fast.  I can actually see 3 small patches of grass in my yard.  I haven't seen my grass since last November. 

Now, I get to grade homework!
