Twins, I've seen those bracelets you're talking about, I think. Wonder what my "mantra" should be. Certainly NOT "I'll think about it tomorrow," LOL...
That works well for worries. Not so much for productivity.
WTG with all you've done today already -- have a safe trip!
(((Kathryn))) WTG with all you've accomplished today -- especially having solution in mind to the refugee money problem! Hope that works out well!
(((Blessed))) -- for your headache -- hope it has disappeared by now!
I'm trying to get myself back on track with the daily/routines/zones, etc. You are always so inspiring to me. WTG on all you've managed today!
Harriet, I am so glad you have this opportunity to teach the Bible study you are doing, and I know the others are being blessed by your wisdom and insights, as well as your calm presence. I see that so often here, so I am sure it is a hundred times more apparent to those "IRL." Whatever happens in the future with your church, you have served it well. (((BIG HUGS))) and prayers that things take a turn for the better soon.
BTW -- have we discussed this before -- I'm sure we have -- but what is the procedure for replacing a minister in your denomination? Is a routine in place like we have in the Methodist church, where every year a committee meets to ask for the preacher back (or not), or is it like the Baptist, where you just keep him till you get sick or him, LOL -- or he gets sick of you? Baptists have more "say" in who they get for a pastor, but it's more awkward when they are unhappy.
Harmony -- WTG! Decluttered the whole house except for one room? You go, girl!
Elizabeth -- (((HUGS))) -- cyst sounds so painful! Hope you get some relief soon.
Oh, (((Rose))) -- for your headache also. WTG on your day yesterday, too!
Goodness... all you healthy eaters. I just cannot imagine myself being able to drink one of those "green shakes." I have a friend who does that all the time -- the J uice P lus evangelist, you know -- and she's all into the tower garden things -- and she swears the chocolate fudge shake (with 51 plants???) is delicious -- but I just can't get past the idea of all the green stuff in it...
OTOH -- since Saturday I have been using a little bit more common sense with my eating. I realized I was having a real problem with low blood sugar in the evening/after super hours, and sometimes after midnight -- of course, while we were still awake -- which led to midnight snacking -- SO -- I am trying VERY HARD to THINK before I eat: Will this make me feel better or worse?
I can manage a reasonable dessert after supper... but I cannot manage multiple snacks after that! That just creates an endless cycle of eating till I fall asleep. So -- I'm trying to think before I eat.
Cathy reminds me, talking about the car --
Do any of you have a car that uses the new synthetic oil? (I say new -- new since 2008.)
The new SUV is our first with this oil and I'm a little nervous about it. We have always changed the oil religiously at 3000 miles, but we know the new SUV recommends 5000 miles, and here at 3000, it says it has 65% oil life left -- so not going to change immediately. We also know it's said to be much more expensive with the synthetic oil.
Dee, that roast sounds sooo good...
While typing this, I have spent almost a full hour on the phone with dmom... about absolutely nothing...
And then she says, in the last minute of conversation, "If I can't get a room at the assisted living place, I may just have to go ahead and have this done and let (my daunt) come help me. She said she would..."
Well... she says a lot of things. And I love her soooo sooo much... and she HAS been there for me with dmom when I was in a tight spot. But she is over-booked 90% of the time with her children and grandchildren herself.
Praying about that assisted living place...
WTG, Nancy! You've been busy!
You have ALL been busy today. I still must type those minutes. Should have done that before checking in here probably...
