I'm not so much sad as it is so sad how awful I have felt the past few days... weeks, months, years.  

I have been waking up early, doing my Bible reading and I am excited, I'm still using the JW.org site to listen to the Bible reading.  I don't use the home page "read the Bible online", I use the Publication page, I go to Bible, then I click on MP3, and I can just listen to it from there, because it keeps going, where the link to the home page stops at the end of each chapter.... i wonder why they have it like that?  Well, anyways, I will be finishing Nehemiah tomorrow. 

My hands haven't been hurting as bad, and my arm hasn't been hurting as bad either.  Now that I have let up on on the letter writing my hand and arm are doing better.  They still hurt but they don't scream at me 24/7.

The girls are busy baking.  Steph is going to a party in the cities tomorrow, and she is bring a bunch of goodies.  So Lauren is helping her.  Lauren isn't going, but she is still helping.  Such a sweet sister!!   The party is a "Star Wars" party, so Steph is making, Wookie cookies, Yoda cookies, Thermal Detonator balls, and I think an R2D2 something (but not sure) and some other goodies. I will try to take pics of them.

Colton should have enough grants to pay for most of his schooling, plus the money he needs to get the books he needs and a new computer.  His computer is no longer working and it was no where near strong enough to handle his schooling. I think he will also get a grant money to help him with travel expenses to and from school each day.  So he is really excited about that.  Plus he put his notice in that he won't be working at the inn anymore.  He is going to have a rough week.  Yesterday he was up at 9am, worked almost the whole day at DQ getting machines up and running and making various items.  Then he worked at midnight until 8am this morning.  By 8:30 he was asleep, so he was up 23 1/2 hours.  He has to be up by 1:30 today to work again at DQ, then he works again tonight.  Yeah, the next week or so will be really hard.
