Friends, work and Family


Its Monday, Mondays are usually my day for catch up housework, errands and me time. This morning was no different. I had a eye appointment, my yearly check up and contact lens. All is good and then I had some blood work done to check on my blood sugar levels over the last 3 months. I had to fast and so now I'm starving, its 11am and I'm only just eating now. A herb turkey and red pepper sandwich on fresh homemade bread. Not home made by me a I might add. A bakery in town. Talking about fresh food recently I have really come to appreciate that I can go down the road and buy a dozen fresh organic eggs and while I am purchasing the eggs I can see the chickens walking around near by. We used to do that as kids, buy local produce from people door steps, its really nice to be able to do that again

I have a few jobs at the moment, one coming up next week is only for the week and I am going to have to stay in Sacramento, I have never been away from Aaron for that long, I'm not looking forward to sleeping alone, but I am hoping that I will be so tired that I will hit the hay pretty fast. On the up side, I am staying at Grandmas home. I am looking forward to spending more time with Grandma. I a little nervous!! I dont know why as Grandma is so sweet and I love her to bits, but still I am a little nervous. I will be working at the Hilton, proctoring. Which basically means watching people take their Barr exam. It happens twice a year lasts for one week and is long hours I hear and good money.

I have also become the companion of an elderly sister in my cong. She has been a regular pioneer forever and is now 89yrs old. She is the most zealous, positive wonderful sister with a stubborn streak. Fran is very independent, has raised 6 children and has been widowed for a while now. Unfortunately Fran s memory has been going and she gets very confused. She can no longer drive for her own safety and this is very frustrating for her. I feel honored to assist this faithful sister. I know that I will be so encouraged by Fran. I am looking forward to spending more time with her and taking care of such a faithful, precious older sister. I willl include pictures and updates about Fran later.


I have been missing my friends and Family back home. Want to send my love to you all. I have some cards winging their way to you over land and sea. Check your post next week guys.

Stay strong, not much longer and we will see the end of this system and begin a new day without the influence satan. How wonderful that will be. I loved the watchtower this Sunday. Make Jehovah the most important person in your life and nothing can break us.

Keep us in your prayer as we will you x

Hey, I'll be proctoring too, but I'll be slugging it out downtown at the convention center. How did you land the good proctoring stint? I'll have 30 people and will walk for hours on concrete! :(

It is good money, once the boredom and fatigue go away. I'm happy you got in on it, if not a bit jealous of your good fortune to land at the Hilton site. :)
