quick updates only

Update 1: My surgery has been moved to Friday. I won’t have to take 3 days off work; just one, which is both good and bad. Kinda ruins my weekend though.

Update 2: Cooper Smith, who used to be an intern in my office and now has his own PR firm , has been getting us wonderful leads on our book… and we haven’t even formally hired him yet. He’s one of the sweetest guys in the world. Through his contacts, we have been asked to teach two two-hour cooking classes at Market Street, which apparently is like a Central Market/Whole Foods type gourmet market. It’s not open yet, but we’re doing one in Colleyville and one in McKinney in February.

Update 3: I think we can wait on buying a new A/C unit until next summer. The freon charge ought to last us the year (we hope). I’m damn glad we got it recharged, though, because our July elec-fucking-tricity bill was almost $300 due to the unit running constantly.

Update 4: I moved offices at work. I now have a smaller office, with a metal wall, many more drawers, and in a much quieter area surrounded by designers. Now, it’s all about finding cool magnets.

Update 5: I think our tree is dying. Doc says we didn’t kill it, and he’s probably right; the inspection report when we bought the house indicated that we’d probably need to have the tree removed soon. But I still feel bad. There’s probably something I could have done — fertilizer, more water, trimming… something. Hell, I don’t know enough about trees to even know what I could have done differently.
