FOR TODAY<\/strong> January 7, 2013<\/p>\n Outside my window…<\/strong> dark. It’s almost 2 a.m.<\/p>\n I am thinking…<\/strong> that the antibiotics might be working — I’m not in half as much pain as I’ve been in this week. (Stupid cat bite infection!)<\/p>\n I am thankful…<\/strong> for my awesome LCMS PA who saw me on Friday and gave me antibiotics. Apparently, all the stuff I was dealing with in December was in my chart or the providers talk amongst themselves because she knew all about Daniel’s illness last month. It was nice that she asked.<\/p>\n In the kitchen…<\/strong> dishes to do.<\/p>\n I am wearing…<\/strong> blue shirt and black sweat capris.<\/p>\n I am creating…<\/strong> squares for an afghan when my hand isn’t throbbing.<\/p>\n I am going…<\/strong> to hope I can get to sleep tonight.<\/p>\n I am wondering…<\/strong> about the true use of the word “engage” in theological practice and discussion.<\/p>\n I am reading…<\/strong> A Year of Biblical Womanhood<\/u> by Rachel Held Evans — re-reading it after my long drive back from southern California. I tried reading Montana<\/u> by Debbie Macomber and threw it in the back seat after 30 pages because it was crap. I lived in Montana for 4 1\/2 years and I can’t say that I knew of any militias while I lived here, especially in Sweetgrass proper or the Sweet Grass Hills. I used to *work* in Sweetgrass — there’s nothing up there except a bunch of import brokerages, ICE, and Border Patrol. It would be the stupidest place to have a militia with that much government around.<\/p>\n I am hoping…<\/strong> that my citrus-colored tabby decides to come and hang out with me after I get this done.<\/p>\n I am looking forward to…<\/strong> NCIS<\/a> and NCIS: Los Angeles<\/a> on Tuesday as well as Ladies’ Night Out on Wednesday.<\/p>\n I am learning<\/strong> patience and self-care. (I’m craptastic at both.)<\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> toys and Christmas stuff.<\/p>\n I am pondering…<\/strong> way too many things which is why I’m up blogging.<\/p>\n A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> ??Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.?? One of my favorite things…<\/strong> a half steak\/half chicken burrito bowl from Chipotle<\/a><\/p>\n A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> home with Daniel today (tomorrow), Morning Prayer on Tuesday, Ladies’ Night Out on Wednesday, and copy-editing the rest of the week while the bear child is at school or sleeping.<\/p>\n Hosted by The Simple Woman’s Daybook<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR TODAY January 7, 2013 Outside my window… dark.
