FOR TODAY June 24, 2013

Outside my window… cloudy. It apparently rained this morning and I’m hoping for more.

I am thinking… about Daniel’s one-on-one ABA therapy which will be starting in 15 minutes.

I am thankful… for a wonderful weekend with my parents, getting to have coffee with my friend (as well as maid-of-honor and Daniel’s godmother) Rebecca, and a wonderful time at the Promise Walk for Preeclampsia yesterday.

In the kitchen… marinating some turkey breast for my dinner tonight.

I am wearing… a blue t-shirt and black sweats.

I am creating… blog posts.

I am going… to enjoy any quiet mornings I have this week.

I am wondering… what time Daniel’s pre-op is on Wednesday — I need to call and find out.

I am reading… Between Heaven and Mirth by Fr. James Martin, S.J. I finished Maphead this past Friday and read Killer Honeymoon by G.A. McKevvett on the drive to and from San Jose.

I am hoping… I don’t have to participate too much in Daniel’s therapy today.

I am looking forward to… seeing what a couple “creative” parishioners come up with for the church picnic on Friday. Last year, they built a fully-functional fountain in our church parking lot out of a recirculating pump, PVC pipe, some Rubbermaid containers, and pool toys. They also transformed our fellowship hall into a four-star restaurant every Valentine’s Day for the last two years.

I am learning various ABA techniques.

Around the house… next question!

I am pondering… too many things. It’s why I blog — to clean out my brain.

A favorite quote for today… “I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it. ” — Garrison Keillor

One of my favorite things… Lipton Pure Leaf Raspberry Tea.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Morning Prayer tomorrow, ABA therapy every afternoon this week, Daniel’s pre-op on Wednesday, Daniel’s sedated ABR on Thursday, WIC appointment on Friday, and church picnic on Friday night.
