FOR TODAY March 9, 2015
Outside my window… dark. As usual, I’m blogging after midnight. My excuse this time: working on taxes.
I am thinking… about what tomorrow has in store for me.
I am thankful… for the Turbo Tax Home/Business and how it saves me at least $100 every year from not having to pay someone to do my taxes and being able to get my refund immediately (or at least know what I have to render unto Caesar).
In the kitchen… chicken over quinoa tonight.
I am wearing… light grey v-neck shirt and black capri sweats.
I am praying for… a call for Jon, various people per one of my Lenten disciplines, and for a bunch of special intentions.
I am going… to Target in the next few days. It’s probably good I get all the 5% pharmacy reward cards from them for refilling my legion of prescriptions because I give them a healthy chunk of change every week.
I am wondering… how long it will be until Daniel sleeps through the whole night in his own bed without one of us bunking with him.
I am reading… Crouching Buzzard, Laughing Loon by Donna Andrews. I read and finished The Penguin Who Knew Too Much this past weekend.
I am hoping… to be able to sleep soon. I just made myself some peanut butter and bananas and I’m hoping it makes my hunger pangs go away.
I am looking forward to… seeing what people bring for midweek Lenten soup supper on Wednesday night.
I am hearing… Daniel snoring softly.
Around the house… silence as everyone is asleep other than me.
A favorite quote for today… “Christ, who came on earth to teach the ways of sanctity and prayer, could have surrounded himself with ascetics who starved themselves to death and terrified the people with strange antics. But his apostles were workers, fishers, publicans who made themselves conspicuous only by their disregard for most of the intricate network of devotions, ceremonial practices and moral gymnastics of the professionally holy. The surest asceticism is the bitter insecurity and labor of the poor. ” — Thomas Merton
One of my favorite things… peanut butter and bananas.
A few plans for the rest of the week: taking my father-in-law to chemo tomorrow (today?), church stuff on Wednesday, a meeting with the school psych at Daniel’s school on Wednesday morning, and whatever else comes up.
