Coverage

When moving my car insurance to Kansas a couple of months ago, I considered reducing my coverage. I didn't think I really needed so much and figured upping my deductible might not be such a bad idea. But, I didn't do it.

Now, I'm glad I didn't. After being attacked by a rogue deer on Black Friday morning, my poor car isn't so pretty.

All for the low price of $250, I will get a new side panel, side view mirror, the other dents, dings and scrapes taken care of, and a rental car for the day Monday. Yay for insurance!

Hm

Bit of a dilemma. I have two very active cats who love to play with anything small and breakable. Noone really ever visits me here. I have my nativity sets and a few Christmas figurines out. How much decorating should I even do this year? Should I bother with my tree or will it be in more danger than it is worth? Is putting lights up worth the hassel? Will it bring more of the holiday spirit into my home? In the meanwhile, my tree and ornament boxes will sit in the center of my living room floor.

Addendum:
Ok, the tree is up and I've only had to chase Figaro off it about 5 times (he thinks it's a great chew toy...of all things!) A few lights are up and I'm all Christmas cozy just in time for it to get really cold out.

Entertainment

Today, I have to express my gratitude for the humor and drama that make sick days much more pleasant.
