Colder than average week. Mom went for mamogram and they found something in her breast so she had to go for more tests. Thankfully the other tests came back negative. Was late to work on Thursday because a truck flipped on Toll Road. I half jokingly asked Ed if I could have off on Friday and he said to call him during the afternoon to check with him. I thought about it and decided to take the day and he granted it for me. Holly and I dropped Jeremy off at her parent's and came home. She fell asleep early and I just stayed up the rest of the night playing games. On Saturday we went to get the car. We weren't sure what we wanted and were looking at a few different cars on Singh and Colonial. Decided to go to Singh. We tested out a Mazda truck and Kia Optima. Holly liked the truck until we rode in the Optima. I thought the Optima was the better out of the two because the truck also didn't have 4x4. Couldn't take the car home because the banks were closed by the time we decided we wanted it. Went to Burger King to eat, then hit a bad patch of rain and wind. Went to Unclaimed Freight to look for a chest of drawers to wait out the bad weather. Only saw one that matched the room but I wasn't particularly fond of it. Holly found a lamp she liked (but I didn't like) and we looked at some paintings. Went to Holly's to pick up Jeremy and then came home. Put Jeremy to sleep in his own bed for the first time. He was bad and screamed for hours. He finally fell asleep. I watched the Coulture/Lesner Fight and one other one and then we watched 'The Happening'. It was Ok. Hung out all day Sunday watching the Giants.

Dale took me to pick up the car on Monday. Cold all week. Haven't driven the new car to work yet. They layed off most of the part timers at work. I got called in the office because of a handling error and ended up arguing because I didn't mess it up at all. It got messed up after the next center handled it. I told Ed about a broken column outside one of the doors and got called in the office again because he was looking at the tape and I jumped off the forklift without the parking brake and the lift rolled into the lift by itself. Try to be a nice guy and help out so no one gets hurt and I fuck myself. Another relaxing weekend. Had big plans to clean the house for Mom and Aunt Mare. Didn't get much done. Went shopping at Walmart and got all essentials: Boots, Gloves, Jumpsuit, Space Heater. Space Heater works like shit. Semi decided on 42" Vizio TV. Liked the picture the most out of the choices at Walmart. Don't know when we're getting it. Holly and I started cleaning the back room. I displayed all my figures. She started going through boxes. I still have to go through comic and collectibles and put them in the attic or closet. Sunday watched Giants game (Beat Cardinals) and watched Hulk. I liked it. Holly made me French Onion Soup for dinner. Very tasty.

Haven't worked on the book. I've had the time, especially time without Jeremy but I haven't had ambition. I have to start though. Been addicted to the video games. Picked up Guitar Hero and beat it on Hard. Tried to get some achievements. Trying to 5 star all songs on hard. Working on it. Beat Gears 2 and beat Horde Mode. Horde mode is fun with others but also fun and challenging alone. I like the game. Going to beat it on Insane soon. Trying to play online because I suck at it and want to see if I like the structure. I wasn't fond of it in Gears 1 but there are more modes here. I'll give it a chance. I might start Mass Effect. Want to get the new Lennon book from the library. Chris bought Artie's book so I'll get to read that next week. Mom and Aunt Mare were supposed to come here on Black Friday but they changed it to Saturday so Dad could come and do stuff around here and Chris would come. Spoke to Mom tonight and she didn't sound like she wanted to come at all. It is a hassle but I don't feel like driving there next Saturday. Haven't played hockey in 3 weeks. Haven't really felt like it by the time Sunday came. The carpooling mostly forced me into going some weeks and when I got there I felt like playing. But with the money issues and shitty league/team and hardly any play time, all I want to do on Sunday is watch movies with Holly and relax. Short week this week and am really looking forward to it.

Going to get Jeremy into daycare next week for at least one day a week. Holly made a homework chart for him to do EVERYDAY to try to get his attention under control a bit.
