\"Simple<\/p>\n

FOR TODAY<\/strong> August 2, 2015<\/p>\n

Outside my window…<\/strong> dark. It’s my usual late night blogging time. It was hot today though not completely unpleasant considering it was reported as being 95F. The breezes help.<\/p>\n

I am thinking…<\/strong> about the things going on this week and the trip to be with my parents this coming weekend. I’m hoping my car’s CD player starts working well or it will be a boring drive.<\/p>\n

I am thankful…<\/strong> that Todd, the newest cat addition in our house, is calm and not growling or swatting at us. Last night, he sat with me even though he was growly. When I went out for a midnight snack, he touched his nose to my fingers and let me pet him. Today, he has been licking my fingers and purring for me. I think he really just needed to know that he would be loved up and have human attention.<\/p>\n

In the kitchen…<\/strong> my mother-in-law made pizza from scratch for my sister-in-law’s birthday.<\/p>\n

I am wearing…<\/strong> jammies.<\/p>\n

I am going…<\/strong> to have to figure out a game plan for Wednesday when the power will be off from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and I have to entertain Daniel.<\/p>\n

I am wondering…<\/strong> about how to remove certain food dyes from Daniel’s diet and if it will make a difference.<\/p>\n

I am reading…<\/strong> The Alpine Zen<\/u> by Mary Daheim. I actually finished it earlier this week (I could barely put it down) so I’m re-reading it. I finished Vanishing Grace<\/u> by Phillip Yancey this week as well and *VERY HIGHLY* recommend it.<\/p>\n

I am hoping…<\/strong> that my sleep deprivation feelings cease soon.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to…<\/strong> seeing my family.<\/p>\n

I am hearing…<\/strong> the hymns I am listening to<\/a> on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Daniel story for today…<\/strong> my little monster fell asleep at 7:30 and at 10:30, he walked into my bedroom rubbing his eyes and climbed on the bed where he preceeded to fall asleep. <\/p>\n

Around the house…<\/strong> quiet. It’s wonderful.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things…<\/strong> well-done hymns.<\/p>\n

A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> PT on Tuesday morning, Daniel’s dentist appointment on Wednesday, and whatever else comes up.<\/p>\n

A peek into my day…<\/strong> Today was the “bread of life” reading in the Gospel of John so I thought I’d share one of my favorite hymns.<\/p>\n
