Whoa, already a month? I am severely forgetting about this blog thing.
Let's see. Let's talk about golfing. So, we all went golfing in Tulsa like I mentioned on the 27th of Oct. It was very cold in the morning, but by mid-round, things were warmer and it was actually quite enjoyable. I was teamed with Laura's Dad against family friends. Bill was pretty good and consistent. Ron I think it usually only okay, but he played pretty good I think that day. Hence, we lost. I can't remember by how much but it wasn't too bad. We could have played better, but it was good overall. Dave had some nice shots and saves for our team. My short game sucked, as always. The course was pretty interesting as well, with canyons and creeks and such. There was one hole, where the tee was like a couple of hundred feet (maybe less) higher than the green. After we shot, we proceeded to drive our carts down the path. There were lots of signs that said "slow" because it was quite steep. Dave and I went down first. Dave was sort of going kind of fast at the beginning and I was beginning to worry a little. At one of the of hairpin turns, Dave realized that right before the turn, he was going too fast, so he had to slam the brakes. Of course, that just made us spin almost. The cart began to tilt but Dave got his leg out and I think that helped to keep us from not tilting over. Anyway, after that he still seemed to go faster than suggested, but oh well. It was fun overall and I'd like to do it again when the weather is nicer. I sort of miss playing a lot of golf, but yeah.
Since then, I've had more health exams and blood tests and everything seems to be fine. I gotta get my mind to believe that now. Poop.
Thanksgiving was last week and Connor had a fun time I think. He interacted with a lot of new people and strangers, so kudos to him. He ate most of what we ate as well.
Now, the thing that sucks is that he's teething pretty badly, so his sleep at night, we assume, have been crap. Utterly crap. I'm usually up sometime between 2 and 4am in the morning for the rest of the day. That doesn't sit well for me. By mid-morning, I'm exhausted and by later afternoon, I'm dozing off to sleep.
My Mom came over as well for a few days during Thanksgiving. She had fun, but as always, I was stressed out by the end. I took her to the airport today and she's now back in CO.
The big news over the weekend - oh, wait, Connor got baptized this past weekend as well. That's big news. He did great. No crying at all during any of it. It was pretty short and simple and I didn't have to do anything real weird or something that would make me uncomfortable.
The day before the baptism, however. Man. We were on our way home from Tulsa and as we got off the turnpike, we were about 5 minutes from home, literally. We stopped at the light and once it was ready to go again, I hit the gas and something clanked and the car just wouldn't go anywhere. We think it's the transmission since the car just revved. Anyway, we started to panic because it was a fairly busy intersection and crowded because of some people coming home from Thanksgiving, I imagine. I was like, what are we going to do! AMAZINGLY, a state trooper in his SUV was right behind us. The odds of this happening are like, so small, I can't even begin to fathom. He walked up and told us he was going to push our car to the nearest parking lot, passed the lights and to the left. He just pushed us with his car. I really don't know what we would have done. We would have blocked one lane and it would have been horrible. Plus, I was in my pajamas and dress shoes still... embarrassing to be standing outside in that.
Anyway, after we were in the parking lot, Laura called AAA and got it towed to a AAA-approved service shop. Ryan came to pick us up and take us home before this. Laura waited for the tow truck. Luckily, everything happened very quickly, within 15-20 minutes probably. The next day, I called Hyundai to go about trying to get it fixed under the warranty.
It's currently at the shop. I called today for an update and they were supposed to call me back, but no go. Hopefully, they call back tomorrow or I'll have to call again. I hate doing that.
So, the last couple of days, we've been down to one car and it's sort of annoying because I have to take Laura home and pick her up from work so that I have a car while at home. It's about 2 hours of driving a day. She wants to get a rental. I think we might if we don't get an estimate on when we'll have our car back. I don't think the dealer will pay for one even though she thinks they will. Anyway, I'm gonna wait another day or two to find out more details. Hopefully, it's covered under the warranty and if so, the fix is quick.
Well, last night was a crappy night for me, so I'm going to head to bed early tonight. Probably 8:30p.
See ya.
