Another exciting week has passed
Doesn't seem possible, and yet here it is a week after Valentine's Day! So I'll briefly sum up.

For Valentine's Day, I got two new tires for Dreamcloud. That's because when I drove Caro and Mike to school, this happened:



If the tire store people are correct, though, the two tires on the rear had been original equipment, which means they'd had 97K miles on them (and the tread was still decent--it was the sides that had cracks). And luckily the densely snow-packed street kept the rim from being damaged before I figured out something was wrong and pulled over. So all's well, and all that.

Another nice thing was that Mike very sweetly got busy early and surprised us with red-dyed scrambled eggs for Valentine's Day. Awww.

He's fifteen now, since yesterday. It does not seem even remotely possible that that much time has passed since we took him in as a temporary foster child placement. And yet, there he grows, tallest of all three of us, living proof!

I haven't done anything else that was very interesting. The tax money came. We paid bills and stuff. We've had SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW that were above freezing, so some of the snow is melting. The part finally came so that the repair guy can fix the dryer tomorrow. Yep, the fun just never stops around here!
