What more can I say? It's July!!
It's been a busy week once again, but I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel. My luck, it probably is a train. Didn't work any OT this week. Although I like regaining my weekends, I can honestly say I'll miss the extra cash. I haven't seen my actual wage since I received my salary increase after my one year review. I've been stacking OT hours. This week I will have one or two but can't work as much as I'd like to.
Marina will be here on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I'll put her in the care and custody of two mission team members to be taken her into town and to see all the sights, something I'm not interested in doing. 90 degrees in mid-July is NOT my idea of when to visit Washington,DC. Two members graciously volunteered to do it and I accepted. One other member has a friend in the Secret Service who may be able to get tickets for the White House tour, so that would be great for her. I'm really looking forward to her visit.
The house is in good shape. Yesterday I got her room ready for her, but not without incident. I had just finished stripping down the bed and putting fresh linens on it when I decided to lower the blinds completely. I usually leave them raised about 18 inches because the cats like to sit on the windowsills and rule their kingdom. One tug on the cord and the whole thing came crashing down. I tried to put them back but I'd get one side up and the other would pop out. I became very frustrated and let them sit for an hour or so. I even emailed my dear friend asking him if he would help me on Monday when he stops by. After thinking about it, I decided to try again. That's when I saw a little piece of metal on the floor. It was part of the bracket on one end of the blind and when I put it in the right place, it held the blind in place. Of course, having a chair to stand on helped a lot. And standing in the middle of the window where I could reach to both sides. So now I'm ready for Marina.
Today I have an errand or two along with a hair appointment, so it will be a fun day.
Nothing other than that is new, but I feel I'm in a good place.
God bless you all

Yeah, it's hot here too. So, I have to abandon my plan to come visit you next week so you can take me on another tour of DC? Say it isn't so!
