I'm sick and tired.....

of being sick and tired!  Caught whatever is going around school like I do every fall.  My throat is sore, head is killing me, congested, and coughing keeps me up most the night.  Had to ump 3 games last night and between the dust and cold I don't think this is going away any time soon.  So yeah, I'm still sick and very tired.

So Grateful...

That Misty and Dan's house was not burned and they could remain in their home and not be evacuated.   The fire came close and the house smelled like a camp fire but at least their fence did not melt from the intense heat like their friend's did!  Yeah, we're grateful!

Finished Mockingjay...

A bit let down. Guess I expected a better future for all and I was pulling for Gale. Maybe it's because the series is over that I feel let down too. Good reads, though
