Recovery at Long Last

For the last 2 weeks I have been stuck in recovery mode. The ice storm that hit kentucky and basically destroyed the power grid in many areas, has kept me plenty busy. I've been working rescue shelter survelliance and running about as businesses regain power and reopening to make sure they throw out their spoiled foods. In my free time, I took phone calls from people about what to do with their food in their own fridges and recieved daily emails on the Samonella recalls from Peanut Corp of America products. At long last though, I see the end of the tunnel that is the storm recovery. Most shelters in my area are closed and people have returned home. Power is back in most areas and the phone calls have stopped... well, just certain ones have.
For now I am recieving more calls about other problems, dog bites, mold, septic overflowing and so on and so forth... yay me... and my coworker is out with pnuemonia...I am so lucky...

Anyway, who wants to hear about my work? Not me, my personal life is much more interesting. Joe Vancil came out this past weekend and we went to a gun show, it was nice but I didn't bring my FOID, so I didn't come home with anything new. Linzy loved it, all the little old ladies who tagged along with the old men, talked to her and she giggled and mumbled back. Linzy is getting big again, she lost a little weight a little while ago from getting a bug and then some ear and eye infections. She's gained the weight back now and then some (actually has a tubby belly). That coupled with her recent growth spurt has her finally moving out of the 9 mo clothes and more into the 12 mon clothes (she's 15mo now). Linzy is learning well, she knows that when she is sent to time out, she goes over to a rug by the door and sits down, though I think she gets in trouble on purpose sometimes as if it were a game. Though when she comes back from time-out she will listen, so I guess it still works. She's getting taller too, she can reach the counter on her tippy toes and she can almost get her leg over the rail of the crib. By summer she will probably be out of the crib and into a toddler bed.

Ariel is keeping busy in school, for some reason, she thought physics was going to be easier than chemistry. Altogether, her subjects are keeping her plenty busy. Between school and Linzy, her days are completely full. She even arranges so that when Linzy's dad takes her for the night, she will work on papers or study for an upcoming exam. So, I find myself going over there after work just to spend time with them.

Well in a nutshell, that's what has been happening with me lately. In winter, not too many interesting things happen.
