Well the gov\u2019t finally got its act together and opened itself back up. My wife was quite happy about this as she got to come back to work and we will now get her back pay, though we are unsure exactly when it is going to hit our bank account. It is either by around the 19th of Nov or the 27th of Nov which is her next pay day anyway, so they are making her wait 2 weeks to get paid after no paying her for 43 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other good news is that we got our Jeep back which was having issues though it is barely 3 months since we bought it. But the dealer went above and beyond to make sure the issue was corrected once they identified it and they gave us some bonuses on top of that for the inconvenience so they get a couple of points for that as well. It runs great now so they have done right by us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At some point in the near future I am going to have to get to making time to start painting which I still have yet to be able to do. Our lives are just so busy right now with all the things we have going on but at some point I am going to get that to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing, our son might be moving back home, we helped him get a job where we work which will be a much higher earning position for him than what he is doing now though he has something good going on being and EMT, this new job will help open up some extra doors for him as time goes by and will help him save money which he needs to do. For us it fills up 800+ square feet that we aren\u2019t using. And it will be nice to have him back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well that is going to be it for now, I am hoping next time I do this I will have some art to post as well.
Later,
