What. A. Week.

This week has been full of ups and downs-- too many to even recount here.

David and I filed a claim against his previous employer because he has yet to pay us the two paychecks that are now 3 and 5 weeks late. Hopefully with the government's help we will see that money eventually. And we'd love to see him pay some penalties for his bad behavior, but that'd just be icing on the cake.

It is stressful to have the holidays upon us when we are not in a position to give to others-- at least monetarily. We are giving what we can. It feels good to give, even if it isn't much.

I've been mildly ill this week, no thanks to allergies. They are just getting worse, so I will probably have to see the doctor on Monday before we head out of town. Hopefully the doctor will give me some antibiotics or something that will help get rid of whatever I've got.

Merry Christmas to you all :)
