My head hurt! My mouth hurt!

The teeth are all black. I guess they are no good. 🙁
I have pain. My head hurt and my mouth hurt. I eat very strong pills. They put me to sleep so I don’t like. My husband give me frozen vegetables in bags for my head. It helps me feel better.
I start new job! It is only part time work in restaurant near my husbands brother’s home. I work on weekends at night. I keep looking for full time regular work. My husband still not find job. He is talking to a lot of people. One job is in factory not to far away. I hope he get the job. Maybe they hire me for a job there too.
My friend Shuhua move to Virginia. I am sad. 🙁
She left her car with me until she and her husband are ready to take it. We put it in my garage. Shuhua’s husband Bob is going to come to my house tonight and take the car.

I spoke with Xinqing’s friends husband, Jim. He had me come over with our insurance info and our AAA card.
Xinqing’s car went over a retaining wall and down a small hill. She went through a fence and stopped in the neighbors back yard. The retaining wall is at the edge of the driveway and Xinqing didn’t see the edge in the dark.
The damage consisted of one section of fence destroyed, (Easily replaced), the drivers side mirror and a front parking light wrecked on Xinqing’s car. The car was drivable which surprised everyone involved. Repairs should come in under $140. Xinqing is ok, but is still a bit shaken up. (Xinqing’s husband)
