a few things

I just got back from almost a week with some of my family.  My parents and I met at my brother and sister-in-law's house, after spending a couple days at an indoor waterpark resort.  It was fun to spend time with family, and it was GREAT to get to hang out with my nieces who are almost 5 and 3 years old.  They are both amazingly cute and smart.  Of course, I might be a bit biased.

But now I'm home, getting ready to go back to work tomorrow and put my nose to the grindstone.  For who knows how long before I get another chance for a break.  But, thankfully, this time with my family has given me a chance to decompress a bit, relax, play with play-doh and read a lot of stories.

So, now, as to that previous post... Yeah.  There is something going on where a certain person who, when I first started the call, made a great effort to make me feel welcome and is now unhappy about some things.  And letting people know.  But I realize I cannot make everyone happy all of the time, and in a church there will always be someone who isn't pleased about something.  While it's unfortunate, it's just the way things go.  I just need to do what I can to deal with the situation.

Also, my house is cold.  When I left the homestead to drive to neighborhing state to play at aforementioned waterpark resort, it was cold outside.  So I packed only long pants, some t-shirts and a couple sweatshirts/sweaters.  When I was at my brother's house, I ended up having to borrow a pair of shorts so that I didn't roast when we went to the park to play.  The weather there was sunny and warm.  Now I'm back home and it's cold.  I should really move somewhere warmer...
