Correcting myself to thank TWINS for the wisdom that new church affiliation might help with obtaining new pastor.
I have also had to correct myself today re: death notice I received via daunt. Whereas she called this morning to ask if I had heard that Jane JONES had passed, it turned out to be Jane JOHNSON -- names are changed here of course, but you can imagine the similarity of the names. Combined with the confusion that she thought this was the sister of a lady known to me, who was married to JONES... this led to much misinformation. I told dmom and Dfriend about this, and had to call them to correct myself earlier tonight, after I saw obituary online. Sigh. Dmom said I should never pass on info from daunt without double checking, which sadly, is true.
I hope that daunt does not need me to go to this service. The deceased is related to us, but not closely enough that I remember ever meeting her. I did know her sister, who passed away earlier this year.
Then daunt called me back to tell me my cousin/her son's mother-in-law had passed away earlier today. I will have to go to that service, and I certainly hope it will not be Saturday -- not for myself, but because cousin's son has spent $350 on tickets to College Town game this weekend. He might not be inclined to go anyway, considering that his grandmother has passed away, but he has certainly spent a lot of money to make this trip, a long with his girlfriend's brother who also spent $350.
Anyway, my day has been very UNproductive, except I did manage to get to the bank and sign one more signature card for the church.
Ha -- I do not see myself moving my membership anytime soon. SMH...
I have lain on the couch most of the day and played on my phone.
Some days are diamonds; some days are stone.
DGS, who was sick yesterday evening, has felt fine today and went to football practice. DS called tonight, trying to locate dgs' belt.
Tomorrow, dgs is supposed to wear a red shirt and khaki pants, will attend the high school pep rally, and will get to eat the pre-game meal and dress with the varsity team for the first time. Now... as I've told y'all, wearing the uniform and going through warm ups is about the extent of dgs' participation... but DS reminded me, he will be making history. DGS will be the first 4th generation to be a member of our high school varsity team. DFIL, DH, DS, and DGS have all been members of our high school team, and a local sports writer pointed this out to DS when he first saw DGS was playing on the junior team.
That seems unlikely, but as DS pointed out, there are very few 4th generations even within our church congregation -- people move away, their children go to different schools... the likelihood of having boys who want to play football in four generations is unusual.
It probably sounds silly to most people, but ds said, "Don't you know Daddy and Granddaddy would be proud?" I just have to tell myself they will have the best seats in the house tomorrow.
Dmom was having a rough day this morning and again wanted to move to assisted living... but by tonight, she was doing laundry and seemed to be okay. She did mention IF she didn't move in with me or my brother, she would have to go to asst living, but then I got to considering... I will have to have a ramp built and a shower re-done and probably other things before I could move her in here. I hope she gets over this mood soon. She is still out walking most mornings, driving, doing her own shopping, etc.
I loved the finale of BBT, Harriet, but even more I loved the episode of Young Sheldon when Sheldon had a Nobel Prize listening party and no one came. He thought he would never find people who understood him, and then the scene shifted to all the BBT people as children -- Raj in India, one of the girls sleeping in her bedroom surrounded by beauty queen crowns and ribbons -- it just made me cry.
I don't even understand what these current winners are
doing, LOL... but that is funny that the first one blessed mentioned thought his wife had encountered a bear!
I'm just catching up on recorded programs on the DVR. This has certainly been a short week for me. I can't believe tomorrow is Friday. I'd say the whole week has been unproductive.
Back from Sleep Medicine in time for Nutrition. Will peek in after that.
