The girls high school soccer team made some meals for us on Monday including two desserts. Yeah. I put one in the freezer and we devoured the other. They were yummy. Thank you for the meal fundraiser.
Bruce has had fever and chills for a couple of days, took him to the Dr. Thursday. Bruce has a bladder infection and an abscess. Just happy it isn't a bed sore, he is on antibiotics so should be feeling better by the end of the day. Now we get to drain the abscess... I'm learning all kinds of new things.
Started two new quilt tops. Love the bright colors.
My furnace is happy, it whistles. Will have to call the contractors today to have them listen to it. It is annoying. Then we can all whistle.
Andrew called, he might get to come home on Saturday. His phone works, the unplanned swim in the toilet wasn't that bad. He has had a couple of missionary moments, he is growing up. Just needed to get away from mommy telling him what to do all the time. There are three engine crews there. Mostly they count the semis hauling logs to make a barrier. One day he did get out of the engine and sharpened some tools. He finished the three books he took so is reading his BOM.
I mopped the floor and cleaned a bathroom. Today I will vacuum. Life is hard. Ha ha
Rosala brought a yummy pork and tater dish and the dessert, I mean salad was an orange custard jello with mandarin oranges. Thank you it was very good. Sonnet has been coming over to walk the dog. Rosala also sent over some Halloween fabric to make a fun curtain for under the sink. It will be a great seasonal change. I just like holding it and looking at the bright happy color.
Bruce has been on antibiotics for two days and still he has fever and chills. We squeezed the abscess this morning and it drained. That was unnerving. They make a cool spray saline spray.
Friday the contractors fixed the whistling furnace. They put insulation around an electrical outlet. Glad it was that easy to fix.
Andrew called and hopes to come home on Monday. They saw a black bear. He said he didn't know how fast they could run. He has been counting semis from the engine. He is dying of boredom. The semis are hauling trees out making a barrier. They count up to fifty loads a day.
Bruce isn't doing well so the priesthood is coming over to give him a blessing. In Sunday school we were discussing how to endure trials. And one sister said our trials were like a moment in time. Ahem. I had to bite my tongue. This trial has lasted longer than a moment and I am not a happy camper.
Andrew called, crying, he has to stay five more days. This is the last fire of the season and they want to get their moneys worth. The engine captain gets $500 a day. Andrew sounded tired and frustrated. He feels he is wasting his time by doing nothing. He says only 16 semis are left to do the clearing. He said he filled in potholes in the road. He had to get out of the cab because he blew up at the engine captain. I asked him questions to try and work through his feelings. He says he loves us and to pray for him. His dad told him to get a good night sleep.
I hate this. I will go start a load of laundry.
