We're still on a nonstop ride. Hopefully, things will start to settle down.
Friday- Ellice went to do a recording at church, so I was on my own. I did some homework and once that was finished, I went to an EKU volleyball game. They play completely different than we do. Of course, the level of play is obviously much higher, but aside from that, the scoring changes too. It was fun (Eastern lost) and informative. Maybe I can take something away from the experience to our V-ball team.
Saturday- Ellice was worn out from days of recording. She went somewhere or other in the morning, either a coffee, a meeting, or more recording, I can't remember. These last two weeks have been a blur, so pardon me. But on the way home, she called and said that she got two tickets to the UK football game against Mississippi State. So, naturally we went. We were cold and tired but had fun anyway. UK played the worst they have all season and got slammed 31-14. I think they were beat up from playing #1 LSU and #10 Florida the previous two weeks. After the game, we went to a Halloween party. It was fun too, but we are wearing ourselves out doing stuff. I had a moderate reaction to the cat, which is a vast improvement. Yea for medicine.
Sunday- Nursery at church (a little practice you know). Evan came over for lunch.
Monday- First day on the job. The schedule is hectic, my roll is confused and I'm learning the personalities of the teachers, administration and students. The job has good hours and I'm in control of my breaks.
Tuesday- More getting use to the job. Shop for clothes, gas, then groceries. We didn't get settled in till late. The two of us are getting exhausted. I recommend we get most of this stuff done on the weekends.
Wednesday- We had Brittany and David over for dinner; due to Halloween, they didn't have the church dinner. My class was cancelled too. Good times, good times. I've been steadily catching up on homework, fitting it in where I can, and I'm closing in on finishing my assignments for the semester, but it is time-consuming.
The UK basketball team opened its season and the Billy Gillispie era last night in an exhibition match against Pikeville College. It's a tune up, and I tell you what, they might not win every game, but it will be fun basketball. Instead of playing passively on defense, these guys are in your face the whole game, and I like it. Good things to come. UK wins, 99-64. Jodie Meeks hit 7 3's and got a career high 34 points. It's just Pikeville, but it does look promising.
No reviews again. I need to get reading.

Reading takes time, which it sounds like is in short supply in KY. Balancing 2 jobs is always tough, especially when you were used to one of you being home for support. Once you get used to things, you'll be fine.
Sounds like the job is good and that's what I was worried/wondering about for you...thanks for the update.
Records: I'm guessing some kind of reading/running record. Paperwork - a teacher's favorite - but if you don't know their reading level, how can you teach them to read?
Don't you and Ellice now work at schools right next to each other? It would be cool if you could take breaks together or maybe even have lunch together outside when it warms up again.
I just reread the blog...not recording as in 'running records' but recording as in 'sound.' What for? Or do I have to wait for her blog to find out?
I blog, so that shoudl help. Unfortuantly, I am at the Elem. level and he is middle, there is really no common ground. I go in hour and half earler than he and get out that much earlier.
Church choir recorded a Christmas CD. Ellice has a solo.
