It has been so cold. It was -3 this morning. Autumn was cold last night. She was in the cistern stall. The door to that stall allows the wind to blow throw onto her. Dad saw that she was cold and we blanketed her last night. She was fine as soon as he brought her in and fed her. By the time I got there she was warm. Mocha was cold tonight. He laid down out in the field and got snow and ice on him. He seemed colicky and cold. So I double blanketed him. Julie noticed him being all snowy and icy and pointed it out to Dad. I gave him 8 ccs of Banamine. He was feeling better within a short time of the shot. Then he ate a little hay and drank some water.

I went to the I Antioch Baptist church last night. There was one other white person there. He was an usher named Kenny. The worship was active lots of clapping, swaying, say it, loud singing. The people were very friendly towards me.

Sean is unsure of what his jobs will be with the military. He was suppose to activate to do 170 day activation (originally 139 days) that would have him operating as a crew chief. He would travel with the airplane, not to the desert and be gone about 50% of the time. Then on Friday they revealed that the colonel had changed the alloted number of people from maintenance from 2 to 1 and had given the other slot to another department to fill. So, he and another guy were in competition for the spot. The possible solution they have come up with is to have one guy do an assignment in Florida at Duke field for the first part of the 170 days and then do the last half of the 170 day flight crew job after the Florida thing finishes up. Florida would entail 1 month stay there feb-end of march and then home until the end of april and then florida from may-july. So Sean volunteered to take that because he felt bad for the other guy since the other guy is married. However he feels upset with the change and fear that everything will fall through right now when he needs the work. Also all that time away from home bothers him. The flight crew job seemed like it would be less time away at a time. Honestly though they can keep him away as long as they want at either position. He was unselfish about the whole thing. Everything is uncertain right now as to what his assignment will be . He has a interview with the cable company tomorrow. I really pray that he will get a good paying, enjoyable, challenging, stable, close to home, with good coworkers, safe job.

That's all for now. No school today & it's cancelled for tomorrow due to the wind chills.
