Blogger problems this morning. An error message about technical problems appeared and my request could not be processed. Blog-icians had been notified!

I think this blogging deal is habit forming! I am in the mood and have no medium. What to do, what to do? I guess I will do my daily blog and save it in word for publishing, hopefully later in the morning!

I found myself really dreading my day yesterday. I am running right on the heels of others workers in the office. While my week is usually pretty steady, the other workers have “must days” when much of their weekly work comes in and “must” be processed for billing and for payroll. I know what it is like to work in a pressure cooker so I try to keep a little cushion between myself and their out box. Still, it is as though I am a vulture surveying the terrain for newly processed data!

Surprise, surprise, surprise! When I arrived at work, no one was at the office. I immediately began downloading reports from the internet and answering the phone. Less than an hour into the day, the owner walked in and wanted to talk. He asked me if I would take the lead and supervise some repairs in the fleet shop. I actually jumped at the opportunity for a little variety. Things went well and by lunch one trailer was ready to go with the exception of a handful of fasteners that had to be requisitioned from town. We then moved on to the second project that had been damaged when a driver was trying to hook up to it. There was major cosmetic damage with minimal structural damage. This repair was going well but very time consuming. I prefer to move very slowly on cosmetic issues but we received a call saying both trailers we were working on had been dispatched on loads during the night! Needless to say, eight hours on the job came and went with more work still in front of us. Finally after thirteen hours I wearily walked into the house! No calls during the night so we must have covered all the bases!

I made contact early Tuesday morning with Jeanetta. She said things were going well with Ashlyn Kate. She did report that Ashlyn Kate had a problem with the brain shunt, which had stopped functioning and had to have surgery to remove and replace the shunt. I am not fully aware of the procedure but I do understand it involves surgery to her head and also to her stomach. The procedures went well and hopefully she will be discharged from the hospital today. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

FATHER thank YOU for a productive day yesterday. I ask YOUR blessings on today and my work. FATHER thank YOU for the variety in my days. FATHER, I continue to lift up Ashlyn Kate, Hag, B., Lillie, Carol, Michelle, Aimee, Jennifer, Tj, Anna, Jess and those still recovering from their injuries from the accident. I ask for YOUR miracle of healing! I pray for comfort for those suffering from loss. I pray for those of us experiencing growth spurts spiritually. Cultivate us, use us. Keep us centered, keep us focused. I pray for our spiritual family and for our leaders. Send YOUR angels. Surround us, engulf us, fill us with YOU! A wonderful savior is Jesus my LORD!
