When it doesn't rain, it pours, 2nd try
9/28/06 - 5th Day - Before Supper. I wrote this long journal entry for today, then my computer crashed and it got lost. Now my blood pressure is up and this probably won't come across very well.
Ok, so usually September 1st is when we start healing from the summer drought in funds. This year the term "drought" has taken on a deeper meaning. Clearly, the drought ain't over. The year usually goes this way:
In September we start getting donations after a very "skinny" summer. This is usually the "good" time until the middle of December. Since we do not celebrate krismas or any of those pagan holidays, nor do we manipulate people emotionally so they will feel guilty during the time they celebrate the supposed birth of their "god", donations virtually end in the middle of December. Most worldly ministries make about 80-90% of their budget in the last two weeks of December. This ministry survives through those two weeks off of stored food.
Usually about the 2nd week of January, things pick up a little and stay fairly steady until after Spring Ranchfest. Then they die for the long "dry time" of the Summer until Sept. 1 again. I don't know why things usually happen that way, but apparently HAARP is also affecting our wallet, because this year has not gone that way at all. It started lean and got worse. Usually we get our biggest burst of funds the month before Ranchfest, for food, supplies, materials, etc. Not this year.
I suppose it is me.
So, the truck has been acting up, and I think it is the transmission. Go figure.
Don't go to a hospital unless you want to die, or unless you have no other options. I have said that a lot, and I said it again the other day. Well, today my cousin died in a hospital. She went in to have a pin taken out from a wreck she had some time ago. She came out of surgery alright, then just died. They say she "threw a clot", which is hospital speak for, "we probably killed her, but it was an accident".
I have been working with Pita, and we are still working on the root cellar. God will provide. Ranchfest starts next week.
