The Cat came back....

it seems to have posted so I will try again. Of course I can't remember all the garbage, oops, I mean interesting information, I put in the ones that disappeared. We still have 3 young ex-Hutterites sleeping here. They came back to visit and were denied permission to stay at the colony. The really sad part is the preacher that denied permission is one of the fathers. They've snuck on in the past and stayed at Sam's, but the preacher said he would be searching the houses for them so they didn't want to get anyone in trouble. Hence..... 3 young men. I can't remember if some of the things I said were sucessfully posted or not, so I may be repeating myself. Patty and I got up the nerve to speak to the boss, Elizabeth, about Mallorie. She is forgetting so many everyday things that we are worried about her. Some days she is fine and other days she comes to us with questions that are really basic. Anyway, Elizabeth said that she had noticed that the quality of work had dropped. She was putting it down to Mallorie breaking her arm and the related stress, but now we are not sure. Elizabeth was going to contact some HR specialists on how to broach the subject with Mallorie. SOmetimes I am really grateful that I am not the boss. We've had a couple of cooler days and nights here, but the weather is still holding. We still really need some rain. We have had very little since the spring. I need to organize my office here at home. I started, and as a result I now have 3 piles of papers on the floor. The trick is to now sort them out. Rrain got me to sign up for a writing challenge this month. I think she said the goal is to write 50000 words during November. I am having enough trouble just coming up with the idea! I asked if I could write 100 - 500 word stories (more my style) She says that is not really the idea. Oh well. It is already time to get ready for work and I haven't even finished my tea yet. Time sure goes by when you are having fun. Must be why the work day seems so long. Today I will be grateful for technology because it keeps us in touch.
