Dad, the kids, and I went to the state fair this evening. They’d gone earlier in the day but I did not go with and stayed here with Zorro and continued to rest. The excitement of the past few weeks has had me running on adrenaline which had had me feeling wired and unable to nap or sleep well in the night. Each of the kids chose one ride and then I rode something with the leftover tickets. It was the kids mini-roller coaster and was fun.

The kids contributed their dollars. All of a sudden things got tight really quick over the summer. Between medical bills, tuition payments, Zorro’s surgery, another driver, new tires, increased taxes, and then the wedding, we made it all the way down to having almost no money. I have enough to pay my (hopefully) final tuition bill for the fall and then that’ll be gone and will have to be replenished with additional pay checks.

I’ve always figured I would only work part time but I don’t see a reason why I couldn’t work at least closer to full-time. Between the two jobs it shouldn’t be a problem at all. The pastor at our church is still out from his stroke and there’s been talk about trying to find a more permanent solution to cover his continued absence. He is healing but is still unable to work. So that might be something. However it works out the Lord will provide.
