I've got a sick dog. He keeps whining to be let out, and when he's out, he's having stomach distress. I'm tempted to put him out in the yard for the evening, so he can go as he pleases and not have to wait on me. Poor puppy ( Read more... )

The kids like their new school. They both came home with four new friends on the first day. Yesterday, Dori joined a lunchtime bible study group. There's a lot of kids in it, and she likes it. She says the math class she's in is easier than the one she left in Montana, so that's awesome ( Read more... )

Turns out Wyoming isn't always dark, just at night. It is always windy, though. We actually lost a box on the highway off the back of the truck, thanks to the wind. I think it was kitchen stuff. I have no idea because by the time I got over, it was long gone. I'd been checking the tarp incessantly, but somehow that box worked loose in the wind. So ( Read more... )

Wyoming is very dark. (Okay, probably because it's night, but still.) It also has some fascinating river names. So far, I've seen the Powder River (just add water?) and the Crazy Woman River, and Mark swears he saw the Middle Finger River. I also saw an exit from the freeway called, "TTT street".

We pick up the moving truck in half an hour. Then I come home to finish last minute packing, and he has to go pick up a tow dolly in Florence, which will take about an hour. We have some guys coming to help us pack the truck around noon.

I'm off to have breakfast and start my last full day in Montana.

We are buried under boxes. Send help asap.

You know those simulator rides they have at fairs and amusement parks (like Star Tours at Disney)? Yeah. That's kind of my how week's been ( Read more... )

I'm waiting for my math teacher to get back to me before I finish my math final. My other final is done and posted. As soon as the math's done, I'm free of school until after new year's. We're in quiet upheaval around here. Mark's been off a week, and odds are, he's going to be off until new year's, as well. Luckily, I've got school money coming in ( Read more... )

Before the election, my landlady told Mark and I, "In these troubling times, you're going to start to see families pulling together, circling the wagons." I remember at the time that it made me sad on more than one level, but the big one was the fact that my parents and I weren't speaking, and how weird it is to feel so apart from people who have ( Read more... )
