Buh Bye

Not really, but I may not post for a while, because I'm going back to Idaho, then back here, and so on. I don't have Internet access in Idaho, unless Alex's computer is available (Danny and Melinda's boy). I'm flying there - hot dog! I love flying! My blog won't show me the pics I uploaded for some reason, but I believe they were of Tut, Deedee, Jeff, Julie, Tut, then Stephen (serving on St Pat's Day), then Mark and Tut playing, Tut being disgusted, and the picture on Phillip's blog of his group in Afghanistan. I believe Phillip is in the back row, holding a rifle or something similar.

Take care, and I'll see some of you soon!

blah blah blah blagggh!

That's how I feel rt. now, after days spent on the phone trying to figure things out. Now our phone is dead and I'm charging it. Mark is super-busy at work. At least with the phone out of commission I can get a break, but without resolution of different insurance matters, I still feel up-in-the-air. I know you know what I'm talkin' about!
I think I'll go back to school...but online, so I could miss days. Also, with a voice adapter maybe? Something so I can type.
Or I'll get a job online. I love to do copy editing, if I could get work doing that.
Who knows? I'll keep working on a problem until I find a solution or things change (often that happens - but I'm kept busy and out of the way in the meantime, trying to solve things myself ;).
Nothing has changed here, btw. I'm just venting about the phone/receptionist/answering machine system that we often have to deal with in life. It's the modern Mormon Crickets, and we have to keep fighting them as long as we can, even if Heavenly Father might be sending seagulls our way.

Playing Catchup

Hi! I did get to go down on St. Patrick's Day, but there really wasn't a party, by the time we got there. I did wear green, tho!
Also, my arm is getting better! We've figured out that it's "drop wrist" from radial nerve compression from my bad shoulder being strained. I'm avoiding strain on it and then my shoulder doesn't get inflamed and swollen, which puts pressure on that nerve. We figured it out on the internet. Never heard of drop wrist before!

Fri. night we went on a little date to see Limitless. We really enjoyed it. Sat. am Mark cleaned and then we went to Barnes and Noble - what fun! Sunday we went to church, Monday night we stayed in our apt., this a.m. I got to make cards and she'd saved all mine from the times I'd missed! Then I visited some with Melissa and Deedee and Julie over half-submarine sandwiches downstairs.
Oh, the residents and I played a group game of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader? I was getting all of them right, but then had to leave to eat lunch. We only had one question left, but don't know if they got that one.
I love it when Julie's here for her weekly 2-day visit. She's so funny and nice! I wish you could meet all our friends here.

Tonight Julie and Deedee took Jeff and us to the Olive Garden. We had fun, and this time I just got stuffed mushrooms and spinach and artichoke dip. Mark got fettucini, and we didn't get dessert. Whew! ;) Believe it or not, we have been eating modestly lately, as part of our plan for being in a certain prayerful frame of mind. I really enjoy that and hope to do that as much as possible, while we continue on our way.

I have more to say and pics to post (some) tomorrow, but it's really late here rt. now, and I'm pecking this out with one hand.

Oh, Megan, I caught up with Top Model! TTYL about it!

I love you all!
