It was a day of frustration and learning for me today. The first part of the morning at the office went smoothly but then I hit a wall that kept me occupied for about 4 hours. I actually reached a point where I just had to leave the office and come home for dinner. By the time I had eaten and spent some time thinking about the problem I was eager to get back to the office and give it another try.
Third time was not charm but I got some help from Utah and things started to fall in to place. I learned somewhat how the programs worked together and that allowed me to finally solve the problem but only after a lot of help. Along the way I remembered that I needed to trust the Lord more and that I still have a lot to learn about being the financial secretary.
By the time we came home I was feeling pretty good. And then Mary heard something dripping. It seemed to be coming from the air-conditioning unit so our first thought was it had frozen while we were away, But that did not make sense because we had it set at 80 degrees. So I contacted the office and they sent over a serviceman who found that it was nothing in our apartment. The water heater in the apartment above us had started leaking and since the tenants were gone for a few weeks.
He stopped the leak and then set up a fan and a dehumidifier to try and dry up the wet carpet and pad in our two hall ways. He promised tomorrow they would come and get everything cleanup and dried out.

One hall is being dehumidified and the other is being dehydrated…Mary is not letting any of this bother her while playing a game on her iPad. I continue to feed the turtles and today this large one decided to come and get his food instead of waiting for me to throw it to him. I gathered about 30 turtles of all sizes for the feeding. Not like feeding animals in South Africa but a lot safer.
