The Journey of Life

Will Christina get that job at Taco Bell?
Will Megan ever make it home?
Will Randy's toe fall off?
Will the bathroom at Kara and Joel's ever be finished?
Will we ever hear from Jason and Leanne again?
Will Melanie ever hear from Megan?
My, my, my life is so eventful lately.

Christina just has to turn in her application to get the 3rd shift job at Taco Bell cause someone just quit. Just do it Chris! Just think, endless supply of tacos. Yum.

Megan misscheduled her flight times to and from Denver so had to scramble and reschedule. Now she won't have any time to spend with Melanie. Hopefully, she'll make it home without any more mishaps. Burned by a very difficult life lesson in LA. I'll let her update everyone with her own blog if she ever gets home.

Randy dropped a brick on his big toe. It swelled up and turned all red. He had to take vicodin to sleep at night and to wear his boots during the day. Would he go to the doctor? No-"they can't do anything for a broken toe".
He shoved a needle under the toenail to relieve the pressure from the swelling and it felt better for a day and a half. Then it swelled up again and the nail was looking black underneath. Downright yucky. The pain returned with the swelling so he gave in and went to the doctor. They gave him a big(he says 2 liters of fluid) shot in the butt and put him on antibiotics. Then took xrays to make sure the infection hadn't spread to the cartilage. Finally, it does not hurt so much(just don't touch it or breathe on it). The swelling has gone down. But the nail looks about 3 layers thick with the bottom 2 layers black. Really gross. He'll definately lose the nail. Thankfully, he'll keep the toe.

Sorry to hear about all the troubles with the bath/dining rooms. Just think Kara, you are getting two rooms done when you thought you were only getting one. I'm sure it hurts more that Randy's toe.

Jason and Leanne left a message on Randy's phone saying they arrived in the state of Washington alive and well. He sounded very upbeat. We wish them the best of everything and hope to see them again around Christmas time. (With lots of pictures and stories to tell)

Melanie, can't wait to see pictures from the 14er hike. Hint hint. We'll be seeing you soon.

I must go lay some bricks in the sand in as pleasing a manner I can.
The "design" so far is looking very patriotic. When enough bricks are laid I will send a picture. Ya git what ya git and ya don't throw a fit.

You have the whole rest of your life to use what you've learned so far.
I'm not done learning, are you?
