FOR TODAY<\/strong> March 16, 2015<\/p>\n

Outside my window…<\/strong> dark. I wasn’t outside today but Accuweather<\/a> said there was a high of 86F today. It feels like June, not March. I miss rain.<\/p>\n

I am thinking…<\/strong> about how I’m going to make it through various things tomorrow if I’m still stuck in bed with the flu.<\/p>\n

I am thankful…<\/strong> for the opportunity to see an amazing concert on Sunday when I accompanied my father-in-law to the Claremont Symphony Orchestra<\/a> concert. The BIG piece was Shostakovich’s Symphony #5 we also were blessed to hear P\u00e4rt’s “Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten” and Sibelius’ “Karelia Suite”. I love having a symphony that amazing nearby and getting to attend that quality of concert for free.<\/p>\n

In the kitchen…<\/strong> nothing. I’ve been sick all day.<\/p>\n

I am wearing…<\/strong> green shirt and running shorts.<\/p>\n

I am praying for…<\/strong> a call for Jon, various people per my Lenten discipline, and a bunch of special intentions.<\/p>\n

I am going…<\/strong> to sleep in my own bed tonight. (Daniel had my flu over the weekend so I was sleeping in his room to take care of him at night and to keep Jon from getting sick.)<\/p>\n

I am wondering…<\/strong> how to deal with people who leave comments on one’s Facebook wall that are incredibly inflammatory and inappropriate for civil discussion. I’m fine with people disagreeing with me but seriously, attempt to be civil.<\/p>\n

I am reading…<\/strong> We’ll Always Have Parrots<\/u> by Donna Andrews. I finished Crouching Buzzard, Laughing Loon<\/u> and also got through Revenge of the Wrought Iron Flamingos<\/u> by her as well. <\/p>\n

I am hoping…<\/strong> for decent sleep tonight. I’m at the point where my sleep debt would take years to fix.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to…<\/strong> Wednesday when I get to go do projects and errands on my own.<\/p>\n

I am hearing…<\/strong> Jon snoring and also whatever he is listening to.<\/p>\n

Around the house…<\/strong> my mother-in-law deep-cleaned it today.<\/p>\n

A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “Get off my shoulders. There’s work to be done!” \u2014 104-year-old Selma marcher Amelia Robinson, when told by younger people that they stand on her shoulders.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things…<\/strong> getting caught up in a good book.<\/p>\n

A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> no big plans other than getting out and about on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
