SHEs Organized

She likes me to play with her hair

That just triggered a lovely memory! My sister used to do that for me. I seem to recall she would read a book while doing it and it was a way to keep little-me quiet so she could read (I was 12 years younger so a pest.)

Dinner is over. I said I'd do the cleanup since dh cooked. He offered so I could keep working but I'm at an impasse so getting up from the couch is probably a good idea.

Another memory here: my older cousin lived some with my maternal grandparents and can tell me things I don’t remember or never knew. She told me once that they used to argue like the dickens, but every night he would sit down and she would put her head in his lap and he would stroke her hair. I mentioned that to dmom the other day and she remembered that, I think.

First draft of the sermon is finished.

Cleaning up the kitchen was a good move. Aside from getting the kitchen cleaned up, I had enough swirling in my head when I sat down with my cup of tea after that I wrote up the missing 1/3 of the sermon on the back of envelopes waiting to be opened on the dining table (I wanted to work in the dark by candlelight and indirect light from the kitchen until the thoughts were captured.) '

Then I grabbed my computer and finished the work in the dining room instead of my desk because dh was watching a movie in the living room.

I consulted with the RA board and we'll do a dessert night next Wednesday. So that's all set and someone has been assigned the task of informing the group home.

It is almost 10pm and DH is still not home. I started wondering if he was still in court or if he was wrecked on the side of the road somewhere. So I started calling phone numbers at the courthouse and the first dozen or so went unanswered. Then I started calling Judge phone numbers and hit the right number. A lady assured me that DH is fine. The jurors have been in deliberation for hours. I asked if DH had been given something to eat (diabetic) and he has. So I guess there is no need for me to worry. DH will get here when he gets here.

good job Kathryn.
I'm glad it all came together - it sounds inspired!.

Harriet - It sounds like dss was glad have more stability in his life, and a happier father was part of that..
Agreeing - sometimes taking things somewhere else helps the job along, so long as they aren't just abandoned there and become a new clutter drift ozzing and collecting friends as it waits.
I know I've seen videos of Noni putting all the things from a drawer into a sorting box, then seeing what goes back in the drawer and what takes a walk away - to bin, donate, or a better home within the home.
Food resisted headings are GF, DF. SF etc (gluten, dairy, sugar and the rest. No its not a given though it remains the aim.)

I went and looked at the fishtank that progressed to pot plant holder. I sorted some water bulb things - that need a wash or disappearing and have a dusty arrangement of them in a pot now. The win was removing a dead pot, and taking it outside to see if it will agree to nourish a poor piece of broken zygocactus. Its been soaking in a repurposed dog bowl to get the potting mix back to thinking about nurturing again.

Dishes are washed.

We did get a shower this morning, but the sun came out and sheets are on the line.
I called into flyers chat to get focused.

Going to take a break now. away away from the computer.I've taken a breakfree time from a certain game website. There is a checklist for that too.
