FOR TODAY February 15, 2016
Outside my window… dusk. According to Weather Underground, it was 77F today. I’m sure people on the east coast will throw things at me for saying this but… I miss rain and cold. It’s freaking February!
I am thinking… about my trip to southern California this coming weekend and various logistics associated with it.
I am thankful… for my dad working on mechanical engineering projects with Daniel (translation: playing Legos) while I slept this morning.
In the kitchen… tofu dogs and tater tots for me tonight. #lent #copticfast
I am wearing… burgundy Old Navy shirt and black capris.
I am going… to try and get some serious park time with the kid this week while he’s off of school for Winter Recess. I think it might rain on Wednesday or Thursday so that may not work.
I am wondering… if the kid will sleep through the night tonight. He was up at 6 or 6:30 this morning.
I am reading… Accidental Saints by Nadia Bolz-Weber. My Lenten reading is Calmness by His Holiness Pope Shenouda III.
I am hoping… for decent sleep tonight.
I am looking forward to… seeing my brother this weekend.
I am hearing… Daniel being whiny. It’s kind of amazing how a largely non-verbal kid can whine!
A Daniel story for today… we ran into my priest at the grocery store today and Daniel charmed the pants off of her.
Around the house… the buzzer just went off for laundry and my dad was doing some stuff in the garage.
A favorite quote for today… “The Son of God did not want to be seen and found in heaven. Therefore he descended from heaven into this humility and came to us in our flesh, laid himself into the womb of his mother and into the manger and went on to the cross. This was the ladder that he placed on earth so that we might ascend to God on it. This is the way you must take.” — Martin Luther
One of my favorite things… getting my taxes done early.
A few plans for the rest of the week: intake appointment for mental health services tomorrow morning, meeting with a therapist on Wednesday morning, psychiatrist appointment for the kid on Thursday, and flying down to southern California to pick up my stuff from my in-laws on Saturday.
