Day 11

Today I was having trouble going to sleep after Tom left. After one too many crazy dreams I got up at 8:45.

I decided to pay the bills due this week. I am very happy to announce that we paid off one of our medical bills today! Two more to go. We hope to have all of them paid off by the time we come home with money left over.
I took the bills to the post office. I was going to go on a walk but it was too cold to walk into the strong wind without a hoodie so I went home to find mine. I couldn't find it so I decided to wait until it was a little warmer.

I read Matthew 6-10 today. It was very convicting. I am not perfect and I know that I will never be. I am very thankful that Jesus loved me so much that He came and died to pay the penalty for my sins.

After reading my Bible I started on the mountain of dishes leftover from dinner last night. I have given up on my dishwasher. It doesn't clean my dishes. I found my self scrubbing all my dishes with soap before putting them in the dishwasher. There is no point in doing that and  then wasting money on "washing" them again. So I am now washing the dishes by hand and putting them in the dishwasher to dry. I watched/listened to Mamma Mia! while I did the dishes. Yes, I even danced around the apartment a little.

Last night was a disappointment to Tom. He talked up my cooking all last  week and I guess quite a few guys sounded interested in paying me too cook for them. I worked really hard yesterday to make a complete dinner for 6 men plus us too. I just barely finished it on time. I then got a call from Tom saying that they were going to be working an extra 1/2 hour. I was able to get everything portioned out and in a laundry basket with some towels and to the job site with the extra time. As I pulled up everyone was leaving. I was kinda confused because I thought I was supposed to be bringing them food. Tom came over and told me that they had to go to the ATM. I left the food with Tom and went home. I was pretty sure that he was going to be home soon. After waiting for an hour I texted him to see if he was on his way. It only takes about 5 minutes to get home from the job site so I was kinda wondering what was going on. he came home soon after that with the basket full of food still. I asked him what was wrong and he said that no one came back. I didn't care that much but he looked like he was upset about it. When I asked him he said he was just upset about having waited so long. I got a text around lunch time from him saying asking me to bring 3 dinners tonight. Hopefully it works out better tonight. I hope so because we spent a lot on the food.
