Glad today is over & misc. stuff.

Today I got to work about 20 minutes early but it didn't do me any good. The silly computers were out so the whole day took everything out of me just to get the bare minimum taken care of. I know tomorrow is going to be bad (that is IF the computers behave)! Maybe I'll try to go in early so I can get more done? I don't know. It depends on whether I can sleep. Ah sleep! What a wonderful, elusive thing! My brain needs to learn how to shut down at night. I try all of the relaxation techniques but only rarely do they work.

The chicks seem to love their new home. It's nice to know that One Ear doesn't seem to be bugging them. Let me explain One Ear to you...he is a cat that has claimed us as his family. I've heard cats do that but I've never really been a cat person. He would hang around our Pleasant Grove, UT home but you couldn't get within ten feet of him. He was really spooky and didn't seem to care for people much. He was also famous for fighting everything that encroached on his territory. There was a day that he was sitting on the back porch, his back leg was several times the normal size, and it had broken open. I had Kam and the kids capture him so we could take him to a vet. I was afraid if we let it go, it would be a slow, miserable death. After quite the fight at the vet and $117, he was on the mend. I still didn't like him much but I'm too soft-hearted I guess. Rob named him One Ear because his ear had been cut in half. Kam was able to give him his meds and slowly we gained his trust. When we moved to Provo, I didn't want him to be left like I think his last owners left him. Therefore, we moved him with us. He now trusts us most of the time and is constantly trying to get into the house. He constantly brings us "presents" at the front door.

Kelsey is in Vernal, UT for the Vernal Stock Show. Rob got his stitches out with my mom's help and then helped dad clean horse manure. He said dad over worked himself and dad said his arm was swollen under the cast. Oh that's another thing...Dad has two broken wrists so we are helping him feed animals.

I feel like I need to let everyone know that even though our finances are ugly, I know Heavenly Father pushed me to move closer to Mom and Dad. There have been so many times that we have been needed to be close that I would be a fool not to recognize His hand in the move. I just need to keep the faith. I think we have our old motor home sold. I made Heavenly Father a promise that I would donate the money to a friend that has cancer. I know he's pretty proud and has a tough time accepting the financial help but this was a promise I made to Heavenly Father so I can't back out of it.

Anyway, I hope you all will have a fantastic day! I hope to be going to sleep soon.
