Funny Headline

     There is a headline on the front page of our town's weekly newspaper. It is a classic...."Garbage truck on its way: Eatery to open"

     Our town is in the process of switching from using garbage cans to using small dumpsters that are emptied mechanically into a special truck. We have been waiting for the truck to arrive before using the dumpsters.

     The restaurant will be a new steak house in town. Heh, heh. I'm sure an apology will appear in next week's paper!

     It has been "chinooking" today, meaning we have had warm southwest winds, which have melted much of our snow.

     On Tuesday night I had some very odd viral symptoms. I had been feeling droopy all day and by night time, the muscles on the left side of my spine felt like they had been badly sprained. It was quite painful. David told me I couldn't go to work on Wednesday morning unless I could put my shoes on by myself. I took 800 mg. of ibuprofen and managed, not only to put on the shoes, but to tie them as well. Thank you, Lord.

     Then a couple hours later, I got a call, from Jonathan's school's secretary, to let me know he'd thrown up twice. Fortunately he made it to the trash can. I am glad to see him spared the embarrassment of a near miss, plus the janitor is a nice man. I wouldn't want him to have to deal with a mess on the floor.

     So, we were home yesterday and today and will return to work and school tomorrow, glad that the effects of the virus didn't last for long.

     We don't have tv, but we can watch videos, which are very handy with a sick child. We have been borrowing some science videos made by Moody Bible Institute from church. I had hoped they would be good and I have to say that we are all enjoying them very much. They are interesting and the photography is beautiful.

     I noticed they have a short geology series. I will borrow them to watch while we still have cold weather and will start a rock collection with Jonathan. He finds volcanoes to be very interesting, so I will look for some volcanic rock to begin his collection.

     I have come to the library before my short shift begins for the night in order to type this entry. One night the other lady and I noticed that there was a young man upstairs and we hadn't seen him come in. It turned out that he was obviously on some mysterious substance that had dulled his perception, so we called the police. An officer came and escorted the young man home. Whew!

     I hope you will all have a very blessed weekend!

Sounds like just an average day at the library, Denise! Glad everyone was safe and there weren't any bigger problems, and that also, your family is feeling better.
Blessings,
Monica
