I feel like I have not been here in AGES. And, I am sorry. My accountability has been a little slack and besides, it is actually fun to post things (sometimes).

Anyway, last week I had to have an inspection at my house for heat, air, and plumbing. Now the washing machine is leaking…….Life happens. Anyone know how to turn off the water to the washing machine? The plumber will be back on Monday, hopefully before noon, so I can get to work.

I was pleasantly surprised to get a raise yesterday. I had heard people were getting a raise, based on their hire date. I thought I did not qualify. But, there was a note with my paycheck and I was excited to see I did qualify. It’s only 2% (not much as my brother reminded me) but I was still pleased. My brother also sort of squelched my excitement by telling me large companies and the government tend to give raises across the board once a year. Helps them track it more easily than doing it by anniversary. Anyone wanna buy a very realistic and annoying brother (I keep my nephews)? Oh well, Life happens. I am still excited about the raise (every little bit helps…………besides, my first thought was I can give more to the church).

I am WAY behind on my list. Not beating myself up, just being honest. Life happens. Time to get back in the swing of things.

I have realized, as far as cleaning my house is concerned, I have been a TERRIBLE friend. I am depriving all of y’all of the opportunity to experience tremendous adventure, joy, and excitement. I have been hogging all the fun and all the kudos. I invite any and all of you to participate in this experience. Please just let me know and I will be sad but willing, to turn the rags and cleaning stuff over to you.  You HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE MISSING!

OH! And the sargeant, whose paper on ethics (The Ring of Gyges) I proof read, apparently has some really good news for me. That was the week before last and I have not had the opportunity to find out what the news is. My co-worker told me that the sargeant told her this. The sargeant would not tell my co-worker what she wanted to tell me, but my co-worker thinks that the sargeant did really well on the paper (possibly aced it).

Let me know if you want to share the adventure of cleaning my house with me.

God bless all
