It has been some time since I have written anything here, but I have been busy. I sent my computer off to HP to get it fixed, which seems to be taking forever to get done but I know that it is right on schedule. Or at least I hope it is.

I have been trying very hard to come up with the money that I need to get the heater fixed, I gave up on fixing the car’s brakes until next spring, I’m not going to worry about it since the heater is the more important thing right now. Without it working there’s no hot water. Heat and hot water are a bit more important at the moment to me and dad than being able to drive the car.

Every effort I have made so far has resulted in a dead end, so I am going to try one last option. Remember those guys I had told you about a while back that I was going to see if they could help me get the bill for having my tooth infections taken care of paid? I’m going to contact them, see if maybe there is any chance they can help me with getting the heater repaired and some fuel in the tank before it gets too cold to keep the house warm with the little electric heater I have been running. Ideally I want to get the heater repaired and be able to buy the stove pipe and fire bricks and stuff I need to get the wood stove working again. I’m most uneasy about the thought of having the electricity go out for several days. Me and dad could head for a hotel or something, but the dogs and house plants and water pipes would all freeze.

So, now that I have exhausted all the other options I have been working on, and made every effort possible to call in on any money or favors that anyone might have owed you, I am taking one last ditch effort at getting the heater fixed – if this don’t work I don’t know what in the heck I am going to do.
