| Time for an update-
Brian is now in Guinea, West Africa with the Peace Corps. He's in the 3-month training phase where they each live with a host family and study the language and what they need to know to do their job later. After that they'll be assigned a post and work there for 2 years. So unless I raise the $5,000 for Tom and me to go see him, he'll be gone for that long. Communication is bad, and he probably has no electricity or even plumbing, so I just have to be patient. Hopefully he's happy with what he's chosen to do...
Terrie's finishing up her internship at Johnson Controls by Detroit, and will be starting her junior year of college in Sept. She's very happy with where she is and what she's doing, plus she's good about emailing and calling, so she makes up for Brian.
The dog's driving me nuts- he's getting deaf and neurotic, and we need to decide at which point he's past help. That's such a difficult decision. If he was in physical pain, it would be easier, but how do you measure mental pain? And in a dog?
Seems like life is always complicated, never easy and settled. But then I suppose it'd be boring.
Oh, yeah, I'm also finally dieting, so now even more peole know about it, which hopefully will keep me trying harder and longer. 2 lbs the first week, even with cheating, so I'm just keeping on- wish me luck! or strenth and will power. |
