What About? Wednesday…Been A Couple of Months

 

Yes, I know it has been awhile.  I’m sure some of you thought I fell off the face of the earth.  I haven’t, although at times, I’ve wished I could.  Just for a few days of escape.  Today’s What About? Wednesday will be a simple catch up on the past couple of months.

1.  We’re still jobless here.  The situation, job-wise, is looking bleaker and bleaker.  Our state has few new job postings each day and even fewer to do with anything technical.  This leaves us with the disturbing prospect of resorting to truck driving again, which Mr. Nutt does not want to do, but will if we have no other recourse.  I’m seeing a real miracle in the making and trusting God that He will bring it about.

2.  F3 started a blog of her own, at Me and My Daughter.  She is only ten years old, yet she has such a heart for the relationship between a mother and her daughter.  She is writing the blog to encourage mothers and daughters to grow closer to one another and to God.  I’ve put up a feed in the side bar.

3.  F-2 (that would be, negative 2), my step-daughter, has started a website as well.  Sick of Liberals, as is probably obvious by the name, is a conservative blog, but she welcomes all comments.  As she says, we all want the world to be run well and it is a shame that there is so much divisiveness in today’s politics.  She desires to get a real dialogue open.

4.  Mom is going in for another heart cath. at the end of February, with the full expectation of getting another stent placed.  Her doctor informed her that this will be an on-going situation for the rest of her life.  She may need another within six months or it might be five years.  He also believes that the seizure activity was her heart being thrown into an arhythmia because of the blockage and causing her to pass out.  So, the good news is, she gets warning signs when she has a blockage and now we know what all that seizing and passing out is about.

5.  I finished two potholders

and a baby quilt which I will be giving away to a girls’ group home through the women’s group at church.

6.  My computer’s hard drive died in January and I was without my baby for several weeks.  I still had access to the ‘net through other computers in the house, but I really missed my own.  She’s back now, and I’m still working on getting her reloaded and ready to work.  Hughesnet satellite internet service, not being all it’s cracked up to be, isn’t helping the situation.  I can only download large (and by large, I mean over 200 MB per 24 hour period) amounts of information between the hours of 2am and 7am.  I’m trying to rebuild my scrapbooking kits right now, and staying up all night to do so.  I still have a couple of software programs that I need to get back ahold of, including the software to build the church’s website.

Well, that is it for this What about? Wednesday.  You got a lot in the bargain!
