This has been a long hard week, and I am so glad to see it end. We had company for a week, they’re 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’t be a big deal except he believes I’m going to hell and that I’m a pagan, and tells me so. Even if he didn’t say it, I’d know he felt that way. I ask him for prayers regularly; he and his wife never ask us. Why? We’re not Christian, so ours don’t 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.

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’s wife.

I injured myself moving 3 weeks ago. I don’t know if it’s 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 “I think a few major organs are no longer where they belong.” Only to have the nurse say in a bored voice, “Yeah, that happens sometimes. It’s no big deal. We can see you in 4 weeks.” Are you kidding me? Would you think it was a big deal if your body decided to rearrange itself? I got a new doctor on Thursday. She’s seeing me Monday. I hope it’s because she’s conscientious and not because she’s no good and had no patients and that’s why she had an opening so soon…

Budgeting with the new job is hard. It’s more money, but every other week instead of one big check a month. I’ve budgeted monthly for 13 years. I keep over-shopping at the grocery store, buying a month’s 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.

Now you’re 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.
