(((
Cathy))) Hope you feel better soon!
Glad
Harriet seems to have recovered!
I actually am struggling with a sore throat -- not terrible, probably just sinus drainage -- but enough to be annoying, and dh's back is just KILLING him. He kept one of those thera-something patches on it yesterday and then used the heating pad some last night and this morning. He said he is probably being punished for being "prideful" of his streak re: this weekend's ballgame. (Subject of newspaper article -->)
DH's article came out in the paper and of course, he found a million things the reporter got wrong... but I told him NO ONE will read it as closely as he did, so... it's all good. He is talking to a former principal of ours on the phone right now, who called b/c he saw the article. He lives a few towns away from us now and we haven't seen him since we ran into him in Pasadena at that last championship game in 2013.
How odd --
Twins and I are both having water pressure problems. Ours is like this weird, sputtering noise. Last night dh flushed the toilet and it started doing that and he said, "It sounds like this commode is going to explode!" And it really did sound like that. But this morning we realized ALL the water outlets are doing that -- sink, washer, etc. DH said it is air in the pipes, but apparently it's a widespread problem. Two neighbors mentioned it also on FB.
What's my number?
Well, I actually do have five * No , SIX * things on my TO DO list:
[ ] s/s baths
[ ] ^ including dh's shower
[/] change sheets (need to put them in the dryer right now!)
[ ] wash one more load of clothes
[ ] type notes from yesterday's meeting
[ ] BAKE COOKIES (most important thing of the day!)
[ ] help dh put away about 10 million football programs, which he dragged out and re-organized when meeting with the reporter Sunday
I already have a few ta-da's:
[ ] bank, post office, Wmart
[ ] DPC to credit card company
So... I guess I better get busy at something here.
I posted this late last night:
Got some OMM stuff on a master list for the rest of the week -- bujo is not working for that sort of stuff -- too much flipping pages back and forth.
This led to my continual obsession with journals in general -- what to keep, what to toss.
Ruth Graham advised : Only keep the hours that shine.
But even some of her writings reveal her struggles....
Will it be helpful someday for ds, ddil, dgrands perhaps, to read my worries and then the notation "everything okay" ? I'm not talking about worries re them, exactly -- just in general. (I worried that ds would drown at swimming lessons, back in 1989, just as I worried about dgs last spring. Sigh.) Spiritual struggles and notes from Bible study that were helpful. Gratitude lists that were sometimes silly.
I think the bujo is going to work better for the notes and things, quotations, Bible verses and notes, all those kinds of things. I just like my OMM master list better for looking at the day/week ahead. Sometimes OMM list repeats cards, but that's not a bad thing, b/c I get the joy of crossing it out, which is more satisfying (for me, anyway!) than simply re-filing a card.
(Too often I'm re-filing cards that have NOT been completed!)
I think I'm still concerned about the
what to keep question, probably always will be, but I'm trying to go through and cull from old journals, thinking, "What if MY grandmother had written this 50-75 years ago and I was reading it now? Would it be good to know, or something I'd rather NOT know?"
Waving to ALL!!! I am so sorry I can't post good replies to EVERYONE!!!
