Approaching Sub-Normal

Within some wide stretch of the imagination, things are slowly progressing back to sub-normal. We're back at home and we've got power, those are the pluses, big ones. Actually, the brides in Lubbock today working. She really wanted to stay here but somebody has to make money to pay for all the repairs and the deductible we'll have. Insurance guy came by yesterday for a "with power" check up. He'd come before and did most of his work but until the power comes back you can't finish. Hopefully, it'll be an adequate number.

Remember I said sub-normal. The pool is a big green mosquito pit. Not sure what that's going to cost. My upstairs AC is down and out. Insurance guy says they won't cover it. AC guy going to call back today. Sleeping in my own bed though under a fan and nights are fairly cool. I've still got the remnants of a bruise the size of Texas on my rear end from where I fell going into the garage on Ikenite. Dr says is a serious muscle bruise that'll take months to heal completely. My foot is still sore from stepping on that nail in the cleanup. First thing back on Sat we dumped the frig/freezer. It had been too much off and on for the past two weeks to really feel good about all that food. Hopefully the smell will soon pass.

Got company coming today from Spain. Young lady named Irina that translated for me several times in Romania and her husband are coming to visit the beach in Texas. Good luck with that. Gotta get a room cleaned out for them to stay in. They have no idea what they are in for. Sounds like fun. Sorry to be depressing. It's all a bit overwhelming at times. But the Lord is good. Perseverance pays dividends in the long run. That's what we're in now, a long run.

got company now, gotta go.
