Sluggishly Slow

My, my, has it been so long?

I went to the doctor on Tuesday because this chest cold had gotten worse -- to the point where it hurt to breathe in at all and I was actually wheezing! 

So I've been taking medication and breathing from an inhaler four times a day, and I guess I'm feeling some better.  Sluggish, though.  I sit down at the computer at least once a day with the desultory intention of reading and commenting in journals, but I don't last very long.  I've been sleeping a lot.

Yesterday, though, was Eler Beth's field trip to Exchange City (for which, as a volunteer I had already had three hours of training!), so I couldn't miss that.  As a result I slept all day today and got up with my chest hurting again.  It was fun, though.  The fifth graders ran a whole town for the day.  I got a lot of good pictures of Eler Beth doing her job that I hope to post later.

Today was Thomas' first day at New Job.  Yesterday on his last day at Old Job, they surprised him with a card and a $100.00 Gift Certificate to Bass Pro Shop.  He was also told that if New Job doesn't work out, to come back to them.  They are a good bunch there.

But New Job went well today, and he is working tomorrow, also.  He was right about there being plenty of overtime.  So I may not have to seek employment any time soon, which pleases the kids.

Well, there are several things that I want to write about, but just don't know if I'll get to any of them any time soon.  But I wanted to put in an appearance and say hello to everyone.  Hopefully I'll be back later this evening.  Hope everyone has a good weekend!
