What a night!!! I'm sitting here feeling like we dodged a bullet, but I know it was God's hand protecting us from the severe weather. In spite of my best intention, I dozed off on the love seat -- only to be jolted awake by a bang (thunder) that shook the house. Finally got up a little after 4 and went to bed, then Troy and Lois phoned a little after daybreak to check on us.
Man, these olden hips aren't made for making like a pretzel. After a long hot shower and liberal applications of Voltaran, I'm ready to face this beautiful new day. (All sunshiny and cute, like it didn't just try and kill us a few hours ago, lol.)
Still nursing my third cup of coffee, I'm feeling ...
Determined --
To clean up and clean out my computer. For a lady of leisure (ha!) I've an embarrassing amount of e-mails and forgotten documents needing addressed. A Will that needs amended, sooner rather than later.
Cautiously optimistic --
That Tom will agree to sit down and help me decide what $ projects need started ... or simply shelved. So funny -- when I broached the subject over lunch yesterday, he looked like I'd begun speaking in pig Latin: "What projects?" (Then, "Oh, yeah.")
Disappointed --
That what I thought would be someone's perfect Christmas gift didn't arrive until the day after. In spite of ordering the first of day of December -- and paying for expedited shipping, no less. Lesson learned about ordering via FB and not looking to see where it was coming from. (China) Oh well, she's a birthday coming up later this year.
Loving --
My new Max Lucado 365-Day Devotional.
Do you know Max? I love his relaxed approach to imparting lessons -- no guilt. Or feeling I need to sit up a little straighter. If you've a few minutes, here's a sample.
Pondering --
Spending out-of-pocket for the Galleri blood test. Because it hasn't yet been approved by the FDA, most insurance companies don't cover the cost. Then again, I ask myself what's the cost of peace of mind? I'm curious -- grateful, too -- to know if anyone knows someone who's done this. Is this something you'd consider?
Whoa, I can't believe it's already going on Noon ... the girls are giving me the side eye, and my tummy's curiously empty. That must change!
I hope y'all enjoy a blessed day ... chat soon!
Hugs, Myra
