Life is a Battle Field

I do not use the desk in my bedroom. I do allow El Jay to use my lap top there. I wasn't really paying attention to the mess he was creating. He plays the game Mine Craft, but he also sets up his Legos and army men..... this is three days of El Jay's play.

For so long life has felt like a battle field. Unkind. Scary. Uncertain from day to day. It is kind of nice to go to work five days a week..... I am still worried about how I will pay bills, but with each paycheck some of that fear is lifted. By mid-November, I think, I will be able to start saving towards a newer car and moving into my own place. Oh, well, maybe not, by then I will be buying for Christmas. I think I'll buy many of my Christmas gifts at Alamosa Books this year.

Shoes Needed. Please Donate.

 

I am an Intern at Joy Junction this Fall--totally on a volunteer basis. I am limited in what I can share here, but they have many needs. One thing they can always use is shoes. I saw these tennis shoes hanging from the electrical wire. I am not sure this works for JJ's needs, but I liked the humor.

Fall Semester

Not excited about school. However, if all goes as planned I will graduate in May. YAY!

This semester I have a math class. Creative Concepts. And an Internship with Joy Junction.

Plus, by mid-October I'll be working 33 hours a week... and there is always my boys.

I love my job.

I'm burned out on school.

I've already been sick, but had to push myself to keep going. There is no choice.

On the other hand.... my little car isn't feeling well. I need a healthy car to do all this stuff.

A few fotos I've shot lately.
