FOR TODAY December 13, 2015
Outside my window… dark. It was in the mid-50’s with rain today. I found it positively delightful. Next weekend is supposed to be rainy as well. El Niño is more than welcome in my humble opinion.
I am thinking… about what I need to get accomplished this week.
I am thankful… for the chance to sleep in until 9 a.m. yesterday. I sorely needed it.
In the kitchen… Dad made steak, potatoes, and salad tonight. He also got Cherry Garcia for dessert. Yum!
I am wearing… my VBS shirt from this year and black capri sweats.
I am going… to be working on Daniel’s SSI overpayment appeal this week.
I am wondering… if we’ll have the kitchen back to normal this week. *crosses fingers*
I am reading… some Jessica Beck murder mysteries and Accidental Saints by Nadia Bolz-Weber.
I am hoping… the counters arrive this week so the sink and stove can be installed and I can cook again.
I am looking forward to… seeing family at Christmas.
I am hearing… The Bells of Dublin by the Chieftains. It’s my favorite Christmas album and what we used to put on while decorating the tree.
A Daniel story for today… Mr. Boy curls up on the heating vents in the morning so I curled up with him on the one in the living room this morning and wrapped a blanket around us to keep the heat in. He is a wonderful cuddlebug.
Around the house… people sleeping. I think I’m the only one awake.
A favorite quote for today… “How can God stoop lower than to come and dwell with a poor humble soul? Which is more than if he had said, such a one should dwell with him; for a beggar to live at court is not so much as the king to dwell with him in his cottage.” — William Gurnall
One of my favorite things… Coca-Cola. I know how bad it is for me but it’s irresistible at times.
A few plans for the rest of the week: organize my Christmas card list, work on Daniel’s appeal, knitting group on Tuesday, Daniel’s 30-Day IEP meeting on Wednesday, Bible study on Thursday morning, choir on Thursday night, and whatever else comes up.
A peek into my day… Our anthem from this morning:
Post Script…
My friend Carrie also blogged about gluten-free life for 31 Days of Writing and she compiled all her recipes into a new cookbook. She offered me a copy and after reading it, I am excited about cooking!
I should warn people that it isn’t grain-free in the event that people are following the advice of renowned quack William Davis of Wheat Belly. (I’m not linking to his blog because I don’t want to give him any more hits than necessary.)
Anyway, go check it out!
