One Foot In Front Of....

A memorable sunset picture from the west end of the Upper Peninsula concludes my busy weekday.

This morning I took the city bus to Marquette for a school related appointment and, along the way, I took several pictures. I previewed them on the computer a while ago and I really like them, so I am hoping to put a few on this blog by tomorrow.

Anyway, times have been kinda tough for us lately. We are starting to run low on everything, as higher utility bills and rising inflation has destroyed our small monthly reserve.

The kids are being good about it though; digging into canned goods and making their own custom made snacks. I'm surviving on shelled peanuts and sandwiches, though every night I pull together a semblance of dinner for everyone.

I just wish I could get rid of the (now) three day headache I've been tolerating. It's par for the course that we're out of all anti-inflammatory and allergy medicines, and it will be nearly 2 weeks before I will be able to afford more. Oh well.

I think it's allergies from the melting snow and I'm sure that the mud and emerging grass is probably contributing too.

Anyway, last night I used a heating pad on my neck, and that worked out pretty good. Maybe I'll just turn in early again tonight and use it again.

It's times like this that I do dream of having a boyfriend who give massages.

Although that's not anywhere in the picture for me- a girl can dream....!!
