It's another windy day here on the Great Plains. And cold! Just stepping out the door might give me an earache! (I don't like wind, especially cold wind, blowing in my ears. OUCH!) We even saw some tiny little spits of snow this morning!
I found a Boxer wandering around outside this morning. He was about half the size of my boxer and really sweet. He had a collar, but no tags. I called the dog catcher to come pick him up and, hopefully, get him back to his owners. Poor thing, he was so cold and looked half starved! Reggie, our local dog catcher, thought that with all the wind we've been having some fences have come down and maybe that's how he got out. He jumped right into the police truck, warm at last!
The sun has finally come out, though it isn't doing anything about the temperature. The wind just takes that warmth and sweeps it away. I really am not ready for winter.
The fall semester is almost over! I've got 8 exams left to study for, 4 papers and just a bit of homework left to do. Next semester is going to be interesting. I'll be taking: Technology in Society, Intro to Leadership Behavior, Currant Political Issues, and Industrial Management. So, I hope I've learned enough this semester to help me through my next round of classes.
Mike and I have noticed two places where the plaster on our walls is bulging out. Dad tells me it's water damage, so we've got to do some damage control. One of Mike's coworkers has recommended that we take down the plaster walls, insulate and put up drywall. This sounds like a really bad idea to me, but Mike is thinking he wants to try it. I've done a little bit of research online about doing this, and from all I've read it sounds like a very big mess. I'll keep everyone posted.
Things I'll be doing today: Studying for exams, trying to stay warm and getting ready for the weekend.
