Wow...long time

I just realized that the last time I posted something was well over 2 weeks ago.  I apologize.  Though not much has really happened in that space of time.  My Mom and Dad abandonded me again (this is the 2nd time this month that they've left and I've had to work so I couldn't join them) to go up North to Cable, WI (almost a stone's throw away from Lake Superior)...so I've been amusing myself at home with the cat.
I went out to do chores this evening and the water spiggot decided to punish me for something I'd done, or maybe hadn't done...I don't know.  But the darn thing wouldn't turn on...so I used the other spiggot to carry 2, 5 gallon buckets of water out to our horse, because he drinks about 8 gallons a day and it's HOT out today...so he's probably going to drink more....

Well, then I went back to try it again and the stupid thing turned on...so thankfully I didn't have to carry water over to the sheep.  And the chickens are all still alive, as is the one stupid rooster.  I went out to get eggs yesterday morning and that ungrateful fowl waited until my back was turned and flew at me with his spurs...would have served him right if I'd have left him out for that raccoon Friday night (or was it Thursday, I don't remember)....

Anyway, since visiting Ica I have done some serious thinking and maybe it is just that I am getting comfortable again in my home environment, but the trip definitely helped to put some things into perspective for me, which was a very good thing.  I think I'll consider it for a while, but I think I've decided that at this time I wouldn't be able to in right and good concience move down there without a job ahead of time...etc.
Anyway, partly as a result of that, I was on Facebook today and was reading through people's status' and Pam had put down that she put in an application to a resort hotel on Mackinac Island...

So I looked at it and put in an application as well.  How amazingly cool would that be?  Spending the summer with Pam on Mackinac Island?  I think it would be swell :) Well, we'll see what happens.  I still have to hear back from them.....so nothing is set in stone, but I really want to get back into camping/hotel type work and this would enable me to expand my resume and gain further experience...AND I'd be on an island that prohibits cars and the only modes of transportation are bicycle and HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGES! How cool is that?  Maybe it is what I need to get my head on/directional bearings from God as to what direction I should pursue.  Though it might make it a little more difficult to make it to Ohio in July (I might have to fly)...we'll see!
Well, my right hand is very sore from being on the computer so much (what with work and all) so I'm going to stop taxing it and go and fold my PILE of clean clothes that is waiting in the hamper at the foot of my bed.
