1. I was diagnosed with Shingles this morning. I honestly was surprised by this but it makes sense. I was almost thankful for an extra week out of work, I am highly contagious until I finish the medication Wednesday at lunch, until I started the medicine. My current side effects include being  hyper including feeling like I can jump out of my skin, and nauseous to the point I just want to put my head between my legs. My prayer is that the shingle pain and itching does not increase and the side effects decrease.

2. Our septic system is not working properly. This has been an ongoing problem since I bought the house in 1992.  We are again trying to fix the problem as our yard is becoming a wet mess. Today we had to move the trampoline out of the septic field which also involved making several paths of mud in the yard. We hope to have it fixed completely within the next week.

3. Matt and I decided to finish putting up Christmas lights outside this afternoon after moving the trampoline. The light looked awesome until it blew out the outlet outside. Matt had to go to Lowes and replace the entire outlet which meant our bedroom was dark for a couple of hours.

4.  Both of our email accounts have been hacked. Matt is spending his evening on the phone with the internet company to try and get this straighten out. This will be the third time this week that we have been on the phone with this company for a variety of issues.

5. Zach is having a rough time without sleeping. He was so tired last night that he ended getting several spankings prior to bed. Tonight, I put him to bed an hour early tonight but he is so tired that he is keeping himself awake. The medicine I am on, makes me less than patient so let’s hope the extra sleep helps.
