\"Simple<\/p>\n

FOR TODAY<\/strong> March 13, 2016<\/p>\n

Outside my window…<\/strong> rainy. It’s absolutely spectacular to have a rainy weekend here.<\/p>\n

I am thinking…<\/strong> about some of the things that are happening this week. It’s not going to be as abnormal as last week but it will be relatively busy.<\/p>\n

I am thankful…<\/strong> for the Dimetapp<\/a> which finally helped get the kiddo to sleep at 1 a.m. after he woke up coughing. *shakes fist at all the pollen in the air*<\/p>\n

In the kitchen…<\/strong> I think Dad is making steak tonight.<\/p>\n

I am wearing…<\/strong> burgundy top from Old Navy<\/a> and black sweats from Target<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am going…<\/strong> to try and get caught up on my temperature afghan this week or at least get caught up with recording the temperatures. (My illness threw me off a bit.)<\/p>\n

I am wondering…<\/strong> the structure of the readings in the Coptic lectionary. (Laura<\/a> will have an email in her box tonight. :))<\/p>\n

I am reading…<\/strong> Calmness<\/u> by His Holiness Pope Shenouda III. I still have Accidental Saints<\/u> by Nadia Bolz-Weber<\/a> on my NOOK and got a little bit of that read this past week. <\/p>\n

I am hoping…<\/strong> to get some walks in this week now that the bronchitis is (almost) gone and the rain should be going away. Now if only the bursitis would take a hike!<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to…<\/strong> the games night on Saturday. Bob is making red beans and rice and someone else is bringing corn bread.<\/p>\n

I am hearing…<\/strong> Coptic liturgical music (I’m keeping their Lenten fast so I’m checking out their music) and my dad drilling various things into walls. <\/p>\n

A Daniel story for today…<\/strong> when I took the precious sweetling to Target on Friday to get his happy meds refilled, I was telling him “first shopping, then toys.” (First\/then<\/a> statements are an ABA<\/a> thing.) Daniel’s response: “OK. Buh-bye.” I seriously need to record myself saying it the way he does because it was ADORABLE.<\/p>\n

Around the house…<\/strong> Dad is attaching towel rods now that the painting of various bathrooms is done.<\/p>\n

A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> I found this on Facebook and thought it was appropriate.<\/p>\n

\"Political<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things…<\/strong> a fire in the fireplace on a rainy night.<\/p>\n

A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> catching up on things tomorrow morning, psych appointment for the kid on Tuesday, knitting\/crocheting group on Tuesday night, morning prayer\/Bible study\/choir on Thursday, psych appointment for me on Friday, and games night on Saturday.<\/p>\n

A peek into my day…<\/strong> I love this cover of “The Sounds of Silence” by the artist Disturbed. I’m a huge Simon & Garfunkel fan so I appreciate how he was faithful to the original song while giving it kind of a metal spin.<\/p>\n
