that’s just like Missouri

Well it seems that, in keeping with the spirit of Missouri, we will skip autumn once again and go straight to winter.

Steve and I woke up this morning freezing to death. Seems we forgot to turn off the window AC unit in our bedroom and the temperature outside had dropped to something like 38° F!

And, of course, it is needless to say that because of this weather change, I’m in pain. My back is killing me and my sinuses are acting up. It’s been up and down since last weekend when we started to get cold rain.

Sheila and Sarah have been staying with us a couple of days while their parents are away on their 30th anniversary trip. This has worked out quite well, actually as this week I needed Sheila to watch Elijah on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week.

Monday and Wednesday I was being trained for my new temp job. On Tuesday I had to go to the church to work on that DVD recorder stuff. My job will last for 6 days out of 2 weeks - Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. I guess I’ll be fine. I’m filling in for a secretary who’s going to Mexico to get married. I think mostly I have to take care of rent payments (to these companies), mortgages, mail, that kind of thing. That and continue to clean spyware and junk off that computer… it’s a MESS.

Well, other than developments in Elijah’s life (he knows his colors now and is saying new things), that’s what’s going on in mine…
