Cliff's

Took daughter to Cliff's this past evening for their first Christmas event. The lighting was good but not fantastic. They did do a good job of coordinating the lights to music. A few rides were running but because there were so few, lines formed which were really long. Only a few games open. They had a Santa but daughter wanted to go see him at the mall. Glad I got the season passes because it would have just barely been worth $10 each to go. If they even raised it to $12, I would say it would be too much as is. Then again, we went the first (and Thanksgiving) weekend, so it may have been more crowded than it will be later.

Trimmed the grass in the front yard and put up some decorations out there today. Took the little house daughter and I made last year and put some new white paint on it. Do some trim painting tomorrow and install lights on it. Also put up more outside lighting.

It's nearly 3 and I'm still awake because of leg spasms. Left leg is spasming and hurting, like sciatic pain. Took some Naproxen and waiting for it to take effect.  

As of this time, after ordering some gifts for daughter for Christmas and paying some bills, figure I have about $200 left to live on for the next two weeks. Luckily, lots of food in the house, so that's not an issue. Had to catch up on money for the mortgage lump sum due in January which I had spent (uselessly) on car parts. Can't overspend like that again or I'll have problems later.
