The NIGH****CHMAN - Sunday 8/23
My son got 2 dogs yesterday. I think it was out of pity. The lady wanted $15 each for them (to pay for the shots she had gotten for them). They are boxer/labs mixed. She had 7 pups and was going to bring them to the ASPCA on Monday. She kept the 7 of them in a pen 6'x6'. Brad and Oleta felt bad. They ended up getting the two and not paying anything for them. So they are happy. And the grandkids are happy.
Not much else going on right now. Will be back later tonight.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Has been a good weekend here. Did a little shopping yesterday, and much deep breathing after wards Let's just say I "hate" shopping, DD "just" had to stop at one store... Now she understands, "tax free" weekend is just not a good time for mom to go shopping!!
Did some cleaning today, have 4 huge bags of stuff to go to my BFF's daughter for her girls, I'll work some more next weekend on getting rid of my too big clothes. There's already 2 bags to hit Goodwill, I work 7 am to 5 pm, and have no way of getting them to the OH conference coming up. (Just know someone is going to mention this)
We went to see "The Time Travelers Wife", this afternoon, pretty good chick flick.... they had technical difficulties on getting the movie started, so we have passes for a free movie.... gotta like that!
Just pulled the last load of laundry out of the dryer, hitting the pillows next. DD has already been warned, if she misses the bus in the morning, she's in deep doo doo!
Prayers for all of the spoken and unspoken requests. Special prayers for those hurting tonight for what ever reason.
Blessings to all,
Avis
Thanks for keeping me and Mack on the prayer list.
He's been unemployed since December, and still no job. He doesn't qualify for unemployment and things are starting to get really rough. He really needs work.
I've been unemployed since April. Thank God, honestly, for unemployment or i'd be homeless. I've applied for federal funding to go to school to train maybe as an LVN. That would take a year, then i could go to work and be earning Something, and maybe continue my education as an LVN. There are very few journalism jobs out there and even with 15 years in the biz it's nearly impossible to find work, so having to look at other careers.
I am making a point to get out 5 to 6 days a week and work out - usually an hour, sometimes an hour and a half to two hours. Just doing something physical helps stave off depression, and makes me feel good. But i have a problem with my rotator cuff, they're calling it tendonitis in my shoulder and i'm in physical therapy for that now, so i can't do any weight training with my upper body - can only work back (If it doesn't involve my arms) and my lower body, plus cardio.
The weight is slow to come off, not losing much right now, but still plugging away.
Anyways... i don't know if the fundng will come through for school, and even if i get approved, it's too late for most fall classes. So i really need work - i'm applying for all kinds of things, but just not hearing anything back at all.
Thanks for ya'lls continued prayers.
