A lazy wonderful morning of reading and chatting on the phone with several people from the program. Just off the phone with a delightful young gay man that just makes my heart sing. We’re making plans for a double date to the movies. He’s very new to sobriety and is trying to make connections and do things that are out of his ken… Life is good.
I have to pick up my daughter-in-law in a few hours and should be getting myself cleaned up and dressed. It’s been a good morning for gratitude and service. One hot line call, one call from the grandma of little Jaylee who is feeling much better…but her platelet count is not coming up like it should, so there is lots of tension and worry in the family. Everyone taking small steps and doing what’s right in front of them- that’s the situation right now. All we can do, is all we can do…and praying and staying positive will work more miracles than all the fear and worry in the world.
It’s warming up nicely out there today, supposed to be in the high 80s. The tomatoes will like that. If the skies don’t show us some water soon, we’ll be forced to haul water up from the pond to water the gardens.
I have to stop by the water company on my way to the airport and drop off a check for the Good Faith money…whatever that is. lol They want a hundred dollars. Sigh… I think it gets applied to the water bill eventually, so…. It’s not like a total giveaway. Just…well. Never mind. 🙂
Kittens have been outside playing and are all in now, katnapping here, there and everywhere. Fred the dog is still here. Husband called the pound, but the neighbor told him that they only keep the dogs for 3 days before they put them down. That made him stop…he had left a message with his phone number on it. Nothing else. So they won’t just be making a surprise visit out here. My dogs are all shotted up and all, but none of them have their tags on. I need to have them all inside if we do wind up calling the pound, which I’m beginning to suspect is NOT going to happen. He’s playing with the other dogs, getting a little better about the cats, and can’t understand why he can’t come in the house with everyone else. Sigh….I’m SURE it’s just a matter of time….(We are BOTH such pushovers….)
I’m off to get some cukes from the garden for my breakfast/lunch. The morning has whipped by and I’m shocked that it’s almost 1 o’clock already. Oh, well…time does fly when you’re having fun…. (and I did already clean out the fridge, take the garbage out for the truck to pick up, cleaned all the errant containers that went into the garbage, cleaned and filled all the critter dishes, and stripped my bed. Had hoped to get to the laundromat this morning…but as you’ve guessed-that didn’t happen. lol
Oh, well…tomorrow IS another day.
Namaste.
