FOR TODAY<\/strong> January 31, 2016<\/p>\n Outside my window…<\/strong> sunny. The sun came out while I was at church this morning and it’s warm enough for shirt sleeves outside. Weather Underground<\/a> says it’s in the low 50’s.<\/p>\n I am thinking…<\/strong> about the data I’m putting into spreadsheets for tax purposes. I’m trying to get them done super early in case we owe so that we have time to come up with the money.<\/p>\n I am thankful…<\/strong> for the lady in my Bible study who rang my doorbell on Thursday night and handed me $tarbux<\/a> cards that she had gotten for being a science fair judge. She’s not a coffee drinker so she passed them on to me. I appreciate that she thought of me.<\/p>\n In the kitchen…<\/strong> nothing from scratch tonight. I’ll probably heat up something frozen.<\/p>\n I am wearing…<\/strong> a blue-green shirt and jeans.<\/p>\n I am going…<\/strong> to take Daniel for a haircut in a little bit. The local barber does well with him.<\/p>\n I am wondering…<\/strong> about a lot of things right now.<\/p>\n I am reading…<\/strong> A Lesson in Hope<\/u> by Phillip Gulley. I’m hoping to pick Accidental Saints<\/u> back up before too long.<\/p>\n I am hoping…<\/strong> my week goes well and I can get done what I need to get done.<\/p>\n I am looking forward to…<\/strong> the knitting\/crocheting group that meets at my church this coming Tuesday night.<\/p>\n I am hearing…<\/strong> Daniel chattering.<\/p>\n A Daniel story for today…<\/strong> he will point to the CD player and say an approximation of “music”. There is one specific CD by Altan<\/a> that he loves and that CD needs to be the first in the rotation. (He is *TOTALLY* my kid.)<\/p>\n Around the house…<\/strong> mom is painting, Dad is puttering, Daniel is playing, and I am doing taxes.<\/p>\n A favorite quote for today…<\/strong> “You know you’re an adult when you can be right without proving the other person wrong.” — #1 on this list<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of my favorite things…<\/strong> club soda. It’s standing in for Coca-Cola<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n A few plans for the rest of the week:<\/strong> haircut for the kid, intake interview for the group managing Daniel’s meds tomorrow, mental health screening for me on Tuesday (my doctor up here doesn’t prescribe psychiatric meds so I’m having to get a psychiatrist referral through the county), follow-up doctor’s appointment for my lab work on Wednesday, Bible study on Thursday, and whatever else comes up.<\/p>\n A peek into my day…<\/strong> Someone in the Temperature Blanket Group on Facebook<\/a> was sharing about a woman whose kids took a crochet hook and a chain she had made and framed it for her. I thought it was a fabulous way of remembering her and remembering her crocheting.<\/p>\n Post Script…<\/strong><\/p>\n You have four days left to pick my Lenten discipline<\/a>. As much as it seems like I’m making a game out of this, I have honestly been stretched and have grown because of the disciplines people have assigned me so go pick one for me<\/a>! It’s also open to everyone regardless of religious tradition.<\/p>\n Hosted by The Simple Woman<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FOR TODAY January 31, 2016 Outside my window… sunny.
