Survivor

This morning, after studying my terribly roughed up hands (probably just extremely dry from the constant dish washing in cold water), Curt likened my time here to being on the tv show "Survivor."  I'm losing weight, eating strange food, personal hygiene is compromised, I'm dealing with extreme weather conditions and uncomfortable sleeping quarters, all the while, trying to build relationships with people and get them to do what I want so that I can leave with the grand prize. And of course there are frequent "challenges" that stretch my physical and emotional limits.  I'm ready for this game to be over.

The boys love having Curt here.  It's so nice that I can relax a little and share some of the load for awhile.  Curt and the boys are working on a new puzzle now; later we will go exploring.

    This is the verse that came to mind after reading your post!! Hang in there. I know it is brutal but the prize is well worth the hard times. Praying that the remainder of time will pass quickly and the court date will be uneventful. Stay warm!!! karol
