My back is hurting worse than ever.  Just when I think it is getting better... it gets worse.  The pain is so bad today, I am on the verge of pulling my hair out.  Ice packs and pain relievers just aren't helping enough.  I am so tense from the pain, that I am starting to get a massive headache.  I just need to focus on relaxing.  I think I will try some mega pills.  I hate taking them, but sometimes I just have to.  

Yesterday even though I was feeling pretty rough, it was full of activity.  Lauren made a big dinner and we had Grandpa over for dinner.  At least once a year she makes a big dinner.  It turned out really good.  And the best part... left overs!  

Then just before Steph was going to go apply for another job and was thinking of offering to work at the Merk for the following three weekends, because no body at the Merk wants to work the coffee shop, (both I thought might be a mistake for her to do),  so they might be closing down the coffee shop because of not having anyone who will work in it.  But she got a call from the one job she wanted more than anything, last night.  they called her in for an interview and told her they really hoped she was still interested.  Steph maintained her composure while on the phone but after she was so excited and it made her feel so good.  I kept thinking, Jehovah had to step in and have the people call her before she made a mistake at going to one of those other jobs, which wouldn't give her the meetings off.  It seems not many people know about this job so not many have applied.  So she might be able to get a really good position.  

Colton had worked the night before, and hadn't gotten much sleep yesterday but he seemed in a really good mood even though he was so tired.  He really likes his job and has adapted to it.  He has his routine down and Carol is one of his residents he takes care of.  Although he works nights and for the most part she sleeps through the night.  He has wing four and half of wing two and she is in his half in wing two.  

Oh, so there is a lady at the Merk that Steph has been witnessing to.  Last night Steph had a few questions she wanted to research.  They never have a lot of time because they are at work, but Steph needed some scriptures she could write down for some of the questions the woman has.  Well, perfect timing.  We had just started to look up a few things when Bill walked in.  Jehovah knew just the right time to have him come in, because I knew he would be able to help us to make the answers simple.  Sure enough, he started rattling off scriptures.  It was perfect for Steph.  So she was busy looking them up and then writing them down.  I was so thankful.  And so was Steph!  The funny part was, ...there were two topics, one topic Lauren and I had just been talking about, for a student talk she had given some time ago.  The second one was from a student talk I had given back when the kids were little.  Isn't that just what we are told at the meeting?  we do research for a talk, and then when we need the information down the road, Jehovah can help us bring it back to mind.  Bill was able to give us extra info about the Trinity (Lauren's talk) and I showed her where to find the list (from my talk) in the reasoning book that shows us the traits or aspects to determine which is the right religion.  funny how that works.
