Doing Catalan and Japanese lately. Taking a financial literacy course with Esme - wish it could be more driver's training but we'll take what we can get because she does need to know more about this as well. She is learning about CD's, interest calculation and bonds and much more. I'm auditing the course with her so I see exactly what she sees and it is also getting some things straight that I might have mixed up telling her about otherwise. She is taking some extra Spanish, as well.
Working. All the changeover to the new year things in the files - yay, but glad the holiday season is getting over because that was messing with the logistics scheduling and rates. Hoping the snow in the forecast this weekend goes far far away from us or just isn't that bad. I can keep up with this schedule (six days on and sometimes lately seven days on per week) if the weather keeps cooperating - but if we get snow and ice I'm anxious about missing work (and late clock-ins count as absences). We need to get a few grocery things before that hits but I used my time after work to go to the auto parts store in the other town tonight.
The little car needs coolant again - again? Why? We just had it filled a month ago? Probably has a slow leak somewhere. Last time the light was on for a week or two weeks before it actually showed any tendency towards overheating (and we got the coolant replenished before it actually even overheated once). Also, that coolant light only comes on for thirty seconds or so when starting the car, and then goes off - until the coolant actually gets quite low and shows overheating tendencies, then it comes on more often. Yet another thing for the to-do list learning how to upkeep the little car. Mark and Esme helped with putting in the brake fluid the other day and that light has been off since. At least we have more of the correct coolant now in the vehicle to add to the system when the car is cooled down, although that doesn't help much when I've driven it to town and dark falls almost immediately when I get home. Come to think of it, should check the oil in the mail truck as well, another thing I don't think to do as often as I should and that one is an older vehicle it really doesn't have the warning lights it's all 'by ear' (listening to the engine) or by the calendar type maintenance.
Coffee. Working. Thinking about the budget. Staring into the middle distance. Scrolling way too much on the news sites in between other things. Going to sleep when it's cold and dreaming confusing dreams. Tiny twinges here and there that I should work on my dachshund book or read another of three books that are hanging around but .... *coffee*
The Japanese is new material - that is good. The Catalan is review, but I haven't done it in many months and then just started again so I'm happy with it.
