I did this last night and then WordPress ate it… twice! We’ll try again now.<\/p>\n

\"Simple<\/p>\n

FOR TODAY<\/strong> May 5, 2015<\/p>\n

Outside my window…<\/strong> gray. It’s making it really hard to get up and start my day.<\/p>\n

I am thinking…<\/strong> about going back to sleep… and fighting that thought.<\/p>\n

I am thankful…<\/strong> for Jon getting Daniel off to school this morning after I turned my alarm off in my sleep.<\/p>\n

In the kitchen…<\/strong> just microwaved some beef stroganoff from Trader Joe’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am wearing…<\/strong> black v-neck shirt and jeans.<\/p>\n

I am praying for…<\/strong> a call for Jon, relief from the wrist\/hand pain, discernment in where to go for a few friends in their marriages, and for the usual special intentions.<\/p>\n

I am going…<\/strong> to Target<\/a> and Trader Joe’s<\/a> later with my mother-in-law.<\/p>\n

I am wondering…<\/strong> how best to deal with a troll<\/a> situation.<\/p>\n

I am reading…<\/strong> The Nightingale Before Christmas<\/u> by Donna Andrews. I finished Some Like It Hawk!<\/u> and The Good, the Bad, and the Emus<\/u> by her this last week as well as reading Glazed Murder<\/u> by Jessica Beck, whose books might become a new series for me to read obsessively.<\/p>\n

I am hoping…<\/strong> the new router arrives soon so I can actually do things like check my email without having to be in a specific part of the house. (The main router is being catty and a new one is on the way.)<\/p>\n

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

I am hearing…<\/strong> Daniel’s LeapPad.<\/p>\n

Crocheting…<\/strong> Daniel’s big boy blankie and the amigurumi baby shower present for the friend.<\/p>\n

Around the house…<\/strong> I have the washer going and I’m pretty sure there are other robots or machines working.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things…<\/strong> murder mysteries — both reading and writing them.<\/p>\n

A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> errands today, Bible study and doctor’s appointment on Wednesday, Daniel’s peds opthalmology appointment on Thursday, cleaning our crap out of the storage unit at some point, and whatever else comes up.<\/p>\n

A peek into my day…<\/strong> This is in honor of Star Wars Day yesterday. I also didn’t know that Icelandic Lutherans were a cult. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
