No matter how much vacuuming and dusting we do, it's never done. One of the cats is shedding abominably. I keep wishing I were heartless enough to shave her bald.
This coming week: church every single day! This is the week I live for.
The just-past week: Besides work, we
a) celebrated a birthday by seeing Cinderella in the theatre. It was amazing! We also ate walleye and french fries at Culver's. Mmmmm.
b) dealt with a pair of broken glasses that were less than two months old. The frames must have been defective. But it took three trips to a nearby city and a phone call to the national headquarters before we could resolve who was paying for the replacement.
c) one day of errands with ELEVEN stops: drop off a kid; bank; courthouse; liquor store; grocery storre; Target; Best Buy; Aldi; another bank; another grocery store; and a stop at church. Almost 3 1/2 hours, but boy oh boy, it wiped me out.
d) filled out legal paperwork ... and wondered why I had to get it off the internet ... because the snail-mail forms never showed up in our mailbox. So where are those snail-mail forms with name and address and birthdate and other bits of personal information?
Last week:
A humongous mess as I took over the whole choir room at church to divide up the files I've been sorting since September. I finally arrived at the point where I couldn't thin and rearrange any more, not until I got everything out at once and reshuffled. It exhausted my mind and my body, but now I can return to working on small portions of the project in reasonably-sized doses.
What else?
Mom moved into a assisted-living/nursing home arrangement. She loves the place.
I worked on the strawberry bed before the weather turned icy again. I have no clue whatsoever how we're going to handle the garden space, plants, compost, brush, etc. Lack of time and energy means reducing the amount of work/commitments I make. And I'm not good at backing out of things I think are important.
Maggie's been continuing to work out and her weight/size are stable. I however have been eating too much chocolate.
Gary got a few new teeth and is adjusting to them.
I'm almost done with the new Mitford book. I love Mitford. Part of me wants to just start reading the series over again right away. But I'm going to stick with my reading plan and fit in a few other things first. Honestly, though, I wouldn't be surprised to find myself going back to At Home in Mitford soon.
Now, to make some bread, clean some floors, and finish Mitford ... bye-bye.

As much as I think to myself, "This is really boring, why am I writing an update like this," when I write a boring life update, I love reading other people's. I think it must remind me of chatting on the phone telling each other what life is like today. And the encouraging of each other by the telling and listening is something I cherish. So, thanks for the "phone call." :-)
ReplyDeleteYES. That's it. I couldn't explain why, but I think you've hit on it. I love reading other people's "boring" news. It's just part of their everyday life, and it's just plain pleasurable to know those little bits of life of the people I love.
