Snapshot of the family.
The freezer died. Lost some meat and cheese and the basement was FUNKY for a while there. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things and I got a funny Facebook post out of it.
Basement Artist is in a pretty good routine. Works in a restaurant, socializes with friends, active in church, helps out around the house, learning French and piano, working on writing and drawing, planning a I-AM-SO-NOT-READY-FOR-THIS-wedding.
Social Hurricane has started a new job, working third shift at a local assisted living community's medical center as a CNA. Some big adjustments working at night and sleeping during the day, but she thinks she's going to like it. Active with friends and tends to be the one who livens up the household.
Graphics Magician is settling into eighth grade, excellent grades so far, planning to triumph over this year. (Seventh grade was a little rough.) Plays video games, hangs with neighborhood friends, active in church (and spends a lot of time playing basketball there), does chores around the house, getting back into the school year sports activities.
Adored Wife is still dealing with chronic pain, active in church, VERY active in community theater (where, among other things, she serves as volunteer facilities manager), investigating taking some classes at the local community college. She's successfully losing weight and is very happy about that.
Oscar the cat pesters us when he wants attention or food and otherwise mostly sleeps. Cardboard boxes are a favorite.
Yours truly is weaning off of caffeine and trying to shed a few pounds (less successfully than AW) and looking forward to auditioning for a play coming up. It won't be until February but they're holding tryouts early and they need a lot of guys; I've got a pretty good shot at getting in. Otherwise, also working on writing projects, spending a lot of time in prayer seeking wisdom and guidance, and trying to behave myself.
Hope all's well out there, friends, and God bless.
