Monday afternoon- got caught in blizzard. Took two hours to get home when the drive usually takes one.

Tuesday- Get email from my brother. He says his house burned down. People I'm doing a little work for sent em an email to let me go because other people watching their house can do the job and money's tight on their end as they run a car Wash/Hotel/ RV Park business (they're trying to sell) in Whitehall, Montana.

Wednesday- The usual drop off point to pick up packages is no good. UPS won't deliver out to the current place where I live hence the in town drop off. I won't pick up packages at the Montana Shipping Depot because they charge $3 a package for any package left for pick-up at their place. Rip-off artists. Now I have to meet the UPS and FedEx or find a new place where they can drop packages off in town. I hate Eureka this week. If I had the money, I would move back down to the Flathead Vallery. Hope the rest of the week and year is better.

And also my favorite Uncle (Al in Moses Lake, Washington) went in for open heart surgery last month. He is resting at home with some fluid still in his lungs, but I hope he will continue to recover.

So it has not just been a bad week for family (I haven't even got into the latest problems my Dad is having including the MRI he is scheduled for on Friday). It has been a bad year.
