Saturday

Well I didn't sleep good last night.  I was waking up to many times and didn't sleep good.  The cat was being stupid and woke me up to many times.  She was scratching and running around like a moron.  I had to go to work this morning.  I was going to sleep in until 8:30 or so but I couldn't  I didn't really sleep that well from when the cat woke me up at 6:30.  So I just got up after 8 and went to work then.  I was able to come home sooner that way.  I finished up at work and came home.

I came home to find out that Sonja was up.  I went outside to try to fix my car.  The rear brake was seized up from not being driven ever.  So I took off the wheel to see what I could do with my limited tools.  The back wheel was even stuck on the hub and I had to kick it off with a few swift kicks.  I finally got it off.  I banged on the drum and finally loosened it up.  My wheel was finally free.  I took it for a drive to make sure it was still okay.  I drove it up to the airport, running the brake to smooth out the rust spots that were sticking out from the seized brake.  It sounded super rough when I got to the stop sign at the store.  By the time I got back from the airport it was all smoothed out and running normally again.  Probably not the most orthodox way of fixing a seized drum but it will work for now.

We went to the store and got our groceries for the week.  We got back and were supposed to have bought some chicken burgers, but when I went to make them for lunch, there were none in the house.  So apparently somewhere between the teller belt and the checkout itself.  So we went back to the store and pick up some chicken burgers for lunch.  They also had some things that weren't out half hour before when we were there.  So we got them as well.

The rest of the day was pretty relaxing.  We watched the Hamilton and BC football game, hoping that BC looses so Edmonton would make it to the playoffs.  But Hamilton gave the game away and BC won.  We decided not to watch the Edmonton game that was on later because Sonja was stressing out to much about the game that we really didn't care about, so she probably would have stopped breathing if we watched a game we really cared about.

We went over to Kendra's for supper tonight followed by some cards.  The game took forever.  We started just after 7 and weren't done until 11:30.  There were six of us playing so that is the main reason it took so long.

We are home now and off to bed shortly because I have to go to work again in the morning.  Hopefully I can kind of sleep in a little bit, and not get woken up by the cat.
