New School Year

D has officially started her school job, as of 24 Aug! She is loving it and keeping very busy with her "little delinquints." She is still trying to get used to the new schedule and getting enough sleep. She comes home exhausted, but happy. It warms my heart to see her smile and act with purpose.

I'm still woring. It seems like all I do. I have officially finished my new hire training and will hopefully be getting a bonus and a pay raise soon. I'm running myself a little ragged, but I'm still doing OK. That is, if I remember to take my meds...not as easy as one would think! But I manage. I'm doing a lot of reading about pain managment and exercise and diet. We'll see where it takes me.

I can honestly say that life is good!

Catching Up

Wow, I haven't written in QUITE a while. Bad, bad me.

Soooo...what's been happening in Pocatello? Well, I have been working, working working, 30+ hours a week. It's hard work, it keeps me on my toes. I love my residents, I love (like, tolerate, attempt not to strangle...) my coworkers, the pay's OK, it's overall a good place to be. Diane starts work in a week, so our financial situation should stabilize soon. I'm hoping to save some money and go visit my dad for Christmas and one of my brothers might come visit me after Christmas. I'm excited.

We're having a friend of ours stay with us until she can find a place. It'll be different, having more than just us in the place. We'll see how it goes. Angie is a good girl, she just fell on some crappy times. I know how that goes, so I felt the need to help. Besides, she's a great cook, she loves to clean, and she adores my cats. It seems like a good deal all around!

Of the 6 kittens we started out with, we are down to 3. Preemie and Felipila found a great home together in a household of lots of special needs animals like themselves. Belino found his forever home just last Saturday. He still lives in our building, just 2 floors down! FurReal, Tyco, and Bearie are still with us, still driving us and Tinkerbell crazy! But we love them. They're precious, if not annoying.

Maggie is doing well, still spending her days running in circles, driving Poco nuts and obsessing over shadows. I miss seeing her every day, but I know the Olsen's are taking good care of her. Someday soon, we will have a place where we can be together.

Diane is doing pretty good. She is excited for school to start, getting to work with her "little delinquints." She doesn't like me talking about her, so I'll leave it at that. ;)

Well, I think that's all I can think of for now. I'll try to be more diligent in writing in the future.

God Bless.
