January 21

Last night Mark and I took Ryan his new car which we had picked up from the dealership earlier in the day. We met him at work in time for his break, drove the short distance to the restaurant (across the parking lot) so I could show him a few things as our time was short, and had dinner.  Got in the car to go back over to his job and the car wouldn't start.  Okay ... maybe some day this will be funny, but at 7:00p on a Sunday night in a place where you know no car repair businesses, it definitely is not.  As Ryan went back to work very disheartened, we attempted to get some roadside assistance which proved to be no easy feat.  In the meantime, fortunately, the car started and we drove it to New Life figuring it was easier to deal with there than in a parking lot.  We chose to stay until Ryan got off work at 9p to ensure he was calm and that we would deal with things.  On the bright side, if this was going to happen, it was a blessing it did while Mark and I were still there rather than when he got off work.  Today the car is in the shop being evaluated and tomorrow we will know what they find.

Talked to Dad for a bit today and, while he sounded more like himself, his heart rate is very high.  He has a doctor appointment tomorrow so hopefully they can figure out why.

This week I have two birthdays - Connor's 16th on Wednesday and my boss' on Thursday.  Here is the card I made for my boss which has AMC movie tickets inside and the matching envelope (can't see Connor's until Wednesday!) ...
