YAY! My Yule decorations are up on LiveJournal!

I know not everyone is that excited about my old Yule Theme "The Holly and the Ivy" but I just spent nearly 4 hours repairing it, so I'm very excited about it.  (Actually I spent about an hour and a half on this, and the rest of the time trying to figure out why I can't get my Winter Snow theme saved correctly in My Styles.  I guess LiveJournal has killed the S2 Bloggish (Unstyled) Theme and I'm rolling old school. It was the best one to work with, and all the rest of them sucked by comparison and still suck from what I can tell.

My last little piece of joy was correcting a single character in a link which put my blinking Yule lights across the top of my container.  They make me happy. lol.

I have a big day tomorrow for my day off. I'm picking my mom up so we can go meet the family lawyer over at my brother's house to assess whether it will be worthwhile to at least finish some work he seemed to be doing (he had taken the door and skirting board trim off in some of his rooms and had painted, but hadn't replaced the trim.) or if it would be better to just sell it as is.  I'm voting for doing that small amount of work as it would probably only take an afternoon or two to tack new baseboards on, and if they are not in his garage it won't cost much to buy new ones to match the rest of the house.  It looked like he had taken up the carpet and was planning to refinish the hardwood floor his office when he finished painting, which is why he probably had the trim off in the first place.  If it were my choice, I'd also just go ahead and finish that too.  Just that little bit of work wouldn't cost much even if we did hire someone to do it, and it's mostly work my daughter and I can handle having done it before in our old house.  It would raise the value of his little house, so I think that would be worthwhile not just because WE would get more out of it, but also would probably reduce the likelyhood of his wonderful nice neighbors ending up with a crappy neighbor ending up in his house.

All that said, it's really time to go to bed now.
