Wow it has beed a while
I knew I had not blogged in a long time but I had not realized it was this long! It has been a crazy old life lately.
Let me see where to start. Thanksgiving went okay no huge family upsets, (don't fear that was made up for at christmas)then I went to a friends house for dinner. I enjoyed the day.
My neighbor asked me to take in her cat when she is away. She is a flight attendant so that is weekly. Lilly is a sweet cat but I am allergic to cat's so this has been fun. It was this or the cat was going to the shelter. The owner has been under a lot of stress and the cat has reacted to the stress when she is gone by peeing in other places then her box. Since she has been coming here she has not had a problem.
The same neighbor lost her father a couple of weeks ago. This was hard on her I felt bad she was with him in VT so I could do little for her. She knew I was praying and some of my friends and this was appreciated. I was glad that she turned to God during this time. I fear she will need to go through this again far too soon. Her step father is not doing well.
I have learned that people wait until the last minute to do things and then want it done for the cheapest price. I had to laugh as I worked in the UPS store a couple of days before Christmas wanting packages to get all the way across the country for the price of ground in time for Christmas. I heard more then once but the item only costs $20 or what ever, like this somehow will effect what the shipping charges are. Well in order to get your item to the other side of the country in two days or less it is going to cost you 100. It is not my fault you waited this long to come in here!
I had it up to my limit of can I have some Christmas stamps then hearing do you have anything less religious I want Christmas stamps not religious stamps.
It wasn't all bad. Really mostly it was fun. We have some really nice regulars and they brought us little treats. The people I work for are good people and we worked hard but made it as fun as possible.
In the middle of all of that I got a message from one of my 18 year old girls. "I think I need your help" She told me what is going on and she was in need of a place to go so about 2 two weeks ago she moved in with me. There was much drama getting her things and we had to tow her car and change the locks but she is now safe and mobile. I have allowed her to have a few days of gutting loose and being free the real world hits again tomorrow and we agreed on house rules and what the consequents will be for breaking them. We also have started figuring out her plan for the future and where she is going next. In a couple of weeks she will move in with her Grandmother. Having met her I think this will be a good move for her.
Who wants to buy me hair color so I can wash this gray right out of my hair when this is all over. Don't get me wrong I knew what I was getting into and it has been pretty much as expected but the stress and worry has been fun. NOT! lol
My old church family came through in a pinch she left her father's house with nothing but the clothes on her back. We needed everything. The met every need she had. From a bed to loaned clothes to money for food shampoo and all other personal care needs. To money for getting her car back and usable. To help getting her things back in the form of burly calm men. Their prayer over the entire thing could be felt through out.
Christmas was Christmas and I have been sick so I have done next to nothing since.
In fact I am very sleepy and I think I am going to wish you all a happy new year and head to bed!
