Well the Lord provided us with our first solid teacher's salary paycheck, and while we're not out of the woods, we can at least see the path that leads out. We are now on a budget which we have painstakingly created. There will be some hard choices ahead, but with the Lord's help, we'll get where he wants us to be.
Ellice is doing well in her job; I'm okay in mine. My attitude is much improved and usually go through each day with a fairly light disposition. PT is still daunting, and I've had a brief bout of illness, but other than that, we're muddling through.
UK narrowly escaped defeat this past weekend; Kentucky was up 20-14 and our opponent heaved a desperation pass as time expired 60+ yards downfield. The ball bounced around and dropped right into a receivers hands. Shades of the LSU last second miracle play some years ago came to mind, but a defensive back named McAtee made a game-saving tackle on the 1-yard line. Whew! Kentucky has started 3-0 and has a bye this week, followed by my alma mater WKU the next Saturday.
Dark Alchemy by Sarah Lovett
I found this book on a bargain table at Walmart, having never heard of the author nor the title character, Dr. Sylvia Strange. This is in the middle of a series (I believe) but reading this as a stand alone isn't a big deal. Dr. Strange is an expert in investigating serial poisoners and the novel reads much like a Kathy Reichs's Bones or the CSI series. The novel was closer to an episode of Bones than a CSI, so followers of that show would most certainly enjoy a Strange novel. I find it draggy at the beginning, which sometimes happens with unfamiliar characters, but about halfway through the book, it transformed into a real page-turner. I recommend this book to those who like a good criminal melodrama. **1/2

Sounds good! Yes, that first paycheck is oh so nice, but after about 6 months, I suddenly wonder how I ever lived on my old income and I'm back to living paycheck to paycheck.......
