OK… some ways to pray for us right now.
[+] Jobs for Jon and I.? We need the income desperately.
[+] Internet for 24 hours so I can do Blogathon in July.? We don’t have wi-fi at the Snuggery and I need to find a place where I can have Internet consistently from 6 a.m. on the 31st to 6 a.m. on the 1st for Blogathon.
[+] For relief from the severe gastritis and spastic colon that all the stress is causing.
[+] For my father-in-law as he’s dealing with his health challenges.
Prayers for a job for me would be muchly appreciated…
As we have no Internet or TV at the Snuggery, I have been taking full advantage of the LA County Library System and catching up on my “to-read” list. So far, I’ve discovered:
[+] The Miss Julia books by Ann B. Ross
[+] Leslie Meier’s books about Lucy Stone and solving crimes in a small town in Maine (light and fluffy)
[+] Louise Penny’s mysteries about Canada (very spooky in tone)
[+] the latest Joanne Fluke books, the latest Joanna Carl books, and the latest in some other series I read
It has been a good thing and it’s keeping me relatively sane.? My only problem: I read really quickly and I’m having to find new series to keep myself occupied.
It’s also a cheap form of entertainment — I’ve saved hundreds of dollars in book purchases as well as storage space that I don’t have at the moment.
Any suggestions for new reads?
Yes, there’s a new look for ::Meditatio::.? I had been pondering a theme change and I liked this one the minute I saw it.? It’s not doing well with the paragraphing but I can go into the code and fix that another time.
I realize that I need to be posting more.?? I probably should have made it a Lenten discipline or something, not that I kept up with mine at all.? This is so not me because Lent is my favorite time of year.? At least I made it to Ash Wednesday this year and I’ll make it to Easter, which is better than last year where I was sick on Ash Wednesday and recovering from a c-section on Easter.
I’ve been in California for almost a month now and I have a job interview on Tuesday for an admin assistant position that I applied for through an employment/temp agency.? I’m hoping something comes of it because I’m having worries about finances and such.? (Yes, I know.? Matthew 6:25-34.)
I did my taxes earlier last month and my Montana tax refund thankfully paid for my federal penalty.? (Rendering unto Caesar is such a pain!)? I still need to look and see if they want us to do estimated taxes this year and how much they are.? I’m not too terrified because it’s not like we have a whole lot of self-employment income to deal with.
On the plus side of things, I got to visit with Jon’s Aunt Janice (who reads this, so HI JANICE!!!!) for the first time in 3 years.? She was out for business purposes but she came and hung out with us and got to see Daniel.? It was great to see her and her husband Jim for a more pleasant occasion (the last one being her father’s funeral).
