Blogging has been a bit slow these days. My life has been in a rut for a very long time which is my preferred state of existance but every now and again there are things that delight the heart and perk up the spirits.

Virgil and Pussinboots quest for their son and the happy conclusion and the begining of their new life together.

Andave Ya growing weekly as a sophmore at Patrick Henry and yet STILL delighted when I call her or vice versa.

My own son Daniel about to embark on his new career path as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U. S. Army and entering into marriage with his life partner Heather.

Getting out of Ohio for the first time in years in October to go to said wedding in Portland Oregon. I don't DARE do this but best friend Steve already told me about a book store there he swears I'll adore. I'm pretty hard to impress unless they have rows and rows of books from the thirties let alone Dime Detective pulps. Cheap Shadows are a thing of the past and they were pricey even back 30 years ago in my prime collecting period. Besides money will be very tight but God provides.

And speaking of collecting picked up three more Avengers bringing it down to 93 to go out of 503.

Have a new boss now-Tami replacing Josh as Dispatch supervisor. Josh will be concentrating on other areas of the Call Center. I have been very careful never to burn bridges with her. The only real change for me will be that I can win an argument with Josh every now and then. Never with Tami. But I have learned to coexist with her. This should go well.

A third dispatcher was finally approved for second shift. Calltaker Travis is onboard now. The immediate impact for me was I actually had a weekend off for the first time this year. Both days. I had a Saturday off about a month ago and spent the day in a fog waiting for Sunday-lol.

The idiot nephew totally went off the deep end earlier this year and I'm pretty much done with him. He practiced a scorched earth mentality on his family and went way way over the line. His offenses are foul enough to where for once I have no desire to even hint at them. Such a wasted life. My sister deserved better.

Speaking of which--almost lost her about a week ago and still not quite out the woods yet. Blood clots on the lungs AFTER a bout with ecoli. Was actually concerned for a change. The good do seem to die young. There is a reason for that. God desires their company and gives the wicked MUCH time to repent as a testimony to His mercy and longsuffering.

Which seques nicely into MY Longsuffering spouse. Doing very well at her work and they seem to like her there. Her doctor maintains four offices in the area and he rotates his rounds ti where Ruth does her work at whichever office is on the schedule that day. She is coming alive in her own right.

Reading Matthew Henry but it is very slow going this time. I desire to read his commentary on the Bible when I am in a mood to PAY attention to what he says not just read to read. Hopefully I might be a better person for it.

Now let's see--how to work a Logos reference in here. L is for the length of time between contact. O is for the occasional recognition I receive. G is for when will she Get on a phone and call. O is for the first words she'll probably here as I faint. S is for the superb moderator and encourager she is.

If that doesn't get a reply it's back to Snap Jaws stories.
