So wild that you need your car AC, Twins. We had snow this morning, though it has been an unusually mild winter for us overall. I'm not complaining!
Hmm... that sounds a bit dangerous and unsettling to citizens in the community, Harriet. Thank you for your kind sentiments! The church and trial thing is actually quite complex, as these things are. People didn't say they were upset that I testified; rather they labelled me immoral for holding an "I don't know" stance after the trial. Yes, I agree there wasn't enough evidence at the trial to convict him, but there seems to be a lot of smoke, and the trial revealed more, including what sounds like lies from the man himself. Plus my experiences with him (yes, plural) + the experiences of several others (none ended up in the trial) are still a factor for the few of us who are stuck in "I don't know" land, which include all the pastors (so we're in good company). Another lie: my testimony has been changed from truth to a version that is not true and which makes him look less bad. This new tamer version spread around the church within days after the trial. The truth is that he did in fact break church policy when he was in the bathroom with the girls. I'm still a little salty. LOL! But I'm trying to let it go!
I hope to get back into knitting, Nancy! I got some books of patterns for Christmas.
Ah, you still travel to the ball games at the college town, lucylee! I can't believe dgd is old enough to be in a play!
Did you get a lot of snow, CathyS? We didn't get much. It snowed for about an hour and a half, I'd guess.
My heart rarely desires to exercise, blessed! You sound so happy!
I stayed home all day today, a rare occurrence. I got a lot done! But there was a lot I didn't get done as well. So, which is it? LOL! I DID: get caught up on several things which felt good - all laundry, tidied MBR, took care of Mom's cardiology appointment, dealt with Mom's life insurance statement, finished thank you cards and a sympathy card. I also DID my a.m. routine in its entirety, prepped and taught my class, and updated 1 health app. I DID a lot of communication via texts and phone for: payroll, friends, stuff for Mom. I DIDN'T: get in a walk or any significant exercise, make progress on NY cards, make progress on payroll projects (curriculum dev + exam prep) or on prepping for payroll tomorrow - or cleaning my stovetop which is embarrassingly icky right now. Or catch up on social emails.
Tomorrow is another day!
