The month of december is upon us. Twenty four days are left of this year. I can't believe a whole year has passed. It sure doesn't feel like it. K has been gone a year and I still wait for him to walk back through the door.

This winter I already have chilblains on my toes. They are so painful. I have been doing everything that I did last winter to prevent them; I don't know what has went wrong.

I still haven't brought out my christmas decorations. I have set out some of the snow men from my collection. I need to decorate my classroom at work but I don't have the desire or the energy. It is tempting to buy new christmas things instead of dragging all my boxes out and sorting through them. I still might purchase a few items for the classroom before christmas and just box them up in january and then add them to my stack of boxes.

This week someone siphoned gas from my gas tank. I found out that I am not the only one that has had gas stolen. I bought a gas cap that locks but the sales man told me that it can be pried off with a screw driver. Right now it is all I can think to do; I can't be buying gas for someone else to use. Also it bothers me to know that someone is in my yard after dark; close to my house, to my front door, with stealing on their mind.

In the, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
Psalms 71:1-2
