I was supposed to go back to school today, BUT, the little storm in the Northeast gave us our first snow day today. I have a feeling my Christmas vacation will extend until tomorrow. It feels like a whole other vacation. :)
I would like to just be in denial that this vacation will never end, but I also got another denial this week. My insurance company denied the authorization for my surgery. Hooray...NOT! Not entirely unexpected, but just another challenge to overcome. This happened even with the referral to go see the specialist in Boston. The insurance company did a "peer-to-peer" where the insurance company doctor calls my doctor and they have a nice little chat about why I need the medical treatment I do. The first time was successful, hopefully the second will be as well.

Other than my ongoing knee issues, which are temporarily band-aided by some futuristic hardware that seriously hampers my lower body fashion choices. The upside is that my students say it makes me look a little "bad-ass." Unexpected benefit.
I recently cashed in my credit card rewards points and I selected a Home Depot gift card. This card will allow me to purchase....wait for it....a Kreg jig! Woohoo. I have been eyeing it on lots of blogs and DIY sites. My dad taught me to biscuit joints, but I HATE the time it takes to measure, line it up, glue, clamp, wait and repeat several times. So now, I will build in an afternoon versus a weekend or two. Score. Thanks Capital One!
Time to finish my grading to be ready for school on Monday. At least I am keeping my fingers crossed. Clearly, I am still in denial about Christmas vacation coming to an end.
