We finally got to speak to someone at unemployment yesterday. She wasn’t the most pleasant person. She wouldn’t explain things to Troyce when he asked questions. She said that the person who told him 2-4 weeks lied and it takes 6-8. We have started week 5 so hopefully it won’t be much longer. We are trying to hold on with everything we have. This has taken so much strength and faith. We are still waiting to hear from Freightliner about the hiring freeze. In the mean time, we have taken to hiking and biking. We have to find some outlet. I have also been working out now that I am almost 5 weeks post op. I have another follow up on Thursday. Hopefully that will go well!
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
