Sigh

So this is just a bad year. A very bad year, a horrendous year. One of my friends is struggling with bad things, which just keep coming, she doesn't seem to get a break. As soon as she just starts to process one bad thing another happens. And none are of her own making, other people making poor choices hurting her and her family.

Then we have issues with my office. My prior boss resigned because of a ton of negative articles being written about him. Then one of or offices caught fire and burned up. We managed to find a place for all those people, in our other 3 offices, but it was tight. And we were using desks of people on vacation or medical leave. Today, it was raining in my office building, and yes I said raining INSIDE my building. The restroom upstairs had water running all night, and it soaked thru the floor and the stuff that makes up our ceiling and it rained. Luckily for me, my office is fine. Unfortunately, the clerks area is not, and a couple of offices aren't. We had 4 people that moved in from the office that burned and now they, and the rest of us have to move out. For a week or two. I don't like feeling displaced. Half of my office is in my car, becuase I wasn't sure when it would stop raining and I didn't want things to get ruined. The other half, well there are health concerns so we aren't allowed back in til it's cleaned up and the carpet is replaced. SIGH. I am taking the office (starting tomorrow) of a clerk that had already been displaced from the burned office. They are moving her again, so I can have an office instead of just a desk in the clerks area (she is a legal secretary) SIGH. And our poor new boss, what a time to start, his first day, literally was dealing with the fire and that was just last month.

Please pray that the year gets better for my office, and my friends!

God bless

Vacation is over

I got back from my summer trip to Nebraska on Tuesday, and I am SO very thankful. On Thursday all heck broke loose at the airports and what I had in my carry on, well they wouldn't have let me keep it there, I had all my toiletries in a makeup bag in my carry on, shampoo's, lotions, etc. My mom also is probably going Thank God alot!

It was a nice visit. My bro got married to a pretty cool lady. I like her. I guess there is a reservation inside me, I just don't want my bro to get hurt again like his ex hurt him. I can tell she loves my bro, and that he loves her, I just hope that this marriage is ordained by God.

They are expecting a child, to be born in late december. Between them, they will have 8 kids!! Her 2 girls are so adorable. And they seem to fit in well with all of the Bro's kids. That is a good thing.

I also got to see my college buddies again. We went to the zoo, with their kids too. I always enjoy seeing them. It was a short visit, my mom got a little freaked, because she only gets to see me twice a year and she didn't want me gone too long.

I gave both my bro and my parents a christian book, called Love and Respect. Our counselor pastor talked about the book in a 3 service series at church. If all those reading this could pray that all 4 of them would read it and learn from it, I would greatly appreciate it. I know my parents love each other, they just don't know how to talk to each other anymore. I can see that both are sad.

Oh, and school starts on Monday here in my world. Since I live across the street from the high school, it makes a difference in drive time to work for me, so vacation is truly over. Til Christmas, how many days til then.....?

God bless
