This has been a long hard week, and I am so glad to see it end. We had company for a week, they\u2019re great, but it was exhausting trying not to debate my Evangelical minister in training brother. We go round and round and never convince each other. It wouldn\u2019t be a big deal except he believes I\u2019m going to hell and that I\u2019m a pagan, and tells me so. Even if he didn\u2019t say it, I\u2019d know he felt that way. I ask him for prayers regularly; he and his wife never ask us. Why? We\u2019re not Christian, so ours don\u2019t count. We pray for him anyway. Often. Funny, because we agree on 99% of everything else. With that said, we loved having them here and hope to have them visit again. They are fun people with really nice children.<\/p>\n
My beloved Computer Guy has worked late every night for the last two weeks. His company is growing rapidly and it is all he can do to keep up with the work load, never mind getting ahead of it. We miss him terribly and I know he misses us. He looks so exhausted when he finally comes through the door at night. I am so grateful that he is willing to work this hard for our family, and I thank God daily for finding me worthy of being this wonderful man\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n
I injured myself moving 3 weeks ago. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s serious, but it could be. I see the doctor on Monday. I may need surgery, or just rehabilitation. The doctor will let me know. I find it strange that I can call the doctor and say \u201cI think a few major organs are no longer where they belong.\u201d Only to have the nurse say in a bored voice, \u201cYeah, that happens sometimes. It\u2019s no big deal. We can see you in 4 weeks.\u201d Are you kidding me? Would you think it was a big deal if your <\/span>body decided to rearrange itself? I got a new doctor on Thursday. She\u2019s seeing me Monday. I hope it\u2019s because she\u2019s conscientious and not because she\u2019s no good and had no patients and that\u2019s why she had an opening so soon\u2026<\/p>\n Budgeting with the new job is hard. It\u2019s more money, but every other week instead of one big check a month. I\u2019ve budgeted monthly for 13 years. I keep over-shopping at the grocery store, buying a month\u2019s worth instead of enough for 2 weeks. This will take some getting used to. You can teach an old dog new tricks; it just takes a while.<\/p>\n Now you\u2019re caught up with everything except the unpacking. We have 13 boxes to go and then we are completely moved in. I predict that it will be done by this time two years from now. I only hope I can beat the estimate.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This has been a long hard week, and I am so glad to see it end.
