Jamie came home early too, and him and Lilly and the dogs played in the snow a whole bunch of times today.
Here are a few pictures around the house that Jamie took (before my camera battery died):
When I got home from the lunchroom this morning, I made some brownies, a pan of cookie bars, and then I made a pizza casserole for supper (but best of all, we didn't have to take the pizza casserole anywhere with us in the floorboard of the car, for once)! ;)
I tried out my water-logged cell phone again (after leaving it in the bag o' rice since yesterday evening), and it still sucks. It will turn on, but then it goes berserk and takes on a life of its own, like it's possessed. Apparently it even went so far as to call Dad all by itself. So Dad called me on my home phone to see what was up. He suggested that I try blowing my cell phone with the hair dryer on a low heat setting for 10 to 15 minutes.
Well, I blow-dried the phone on about a medium heat for 20 minutes (just to be sure), tried it again, and it still sucks. So back in the rice it went. I'll try the hair dryer some more tomorrow, until I can be sure that it's really screwed up and won't straighten out. (I don't expect it to straighten out, but who knows). Anything's worth a try at this point. So if my phone still sucks in a day or so, and the roads are OK enough to make it to town, I guess I'll just have to break down and go to the stupid cell phone store and buy a stupid new cell phone. I did do some testing, and discovered that my phone will receive phone calls and texts (whenever the battery is in it, and it's turned on, of course -- which, when I have it in the rice, I have the battery out of it), but as far as me being able to call out or text, I can't, because almost none of the buttons work properly. I'll press one, and it almost always either won't do what it's supposed to do, or it won't do anything at all. And at times, the phone will just go generally berserk on its own and act like I'm pressing buttons when I'm not even touching it at all.
Anyway, this time I get a new cell phone, I'm having insurance added to my plan. That way, I can be sure that nothing will ever happen to my phone ever again. (If you have insurance = nothing will ever happen. If you don't have insurance = your phone will plop into the nearest body of water every 3 seconds). Stupid crap! You think they'd make all cell phones to be waterproof! >:{
Anyway, speaking of texting, Jamie texted his boss a while ago to find out if they would be working tomorrow. Jamie's boss texted him back, saying that he would be trying to make it in around 9:00 AM. So I guess Jamie will try to get to work then too. He usually has to be there at 7:00 AM, so hopefully the roads will be clear enough by then so he can make it all right.
I kind of dread being cooped in the house up with Lilly all day tomorrow. She came home on the bus this morning at around 10:45, and since then, she has driven both me and Jamie absolutely ape-sh*t crazy with her *&^%$#@ ADHD. Right now, she's in the living room floor, scooting around on her butt on Jamie's old skateboard, and coloring her hair with magic markers, and I don't even care. As long as she's at least semi-quiet for a few minutes, then do whatever! Just don't burn the house down! >:/ (Geez, her meds need to be upped something fierce)! >:{
And speaking of meds, I'm pleased to report that I got my "crazy pills" refilled yesterday, and thanks to Obamacare, they only cost me $10. One of my other meds regularly only costs me $4 per month, and my other med is FREE (thanks to Obamacare), so the monthly total for my meds has gone down from $180 to just a paltry $14. PRAISE THE LORD!!! :D
At least something's going right for once! ;)
