Ha! Perfect Day...
It is after 2:30 and I am still sitting in bed. I know y'all must think I have some sort of mental thing going on, but remember, my dmom barely got off the couch for over a year after my dad died. I DO function pretty well when outside obligations demand... but ugh... without outside obligations... I just alternately sleep and watch tv. I got somewhere between 9.5 and 10 hours sleep last night. Maybe my body is just catching up. Now if I can just get it to catch up on the normal night and day routine of the rest of the world.
I'm not D2S yet because I need to color my hair, and I have a certain shirt I only wear when doing that.
I also have a ton of papers on the kitchen table -- teacher group meeting notes that have been hole punched and are ready to go in the notebook, but which I started yesterday and did not finish before going to the ballgame.
I would like to bake some cookies.
And I have to prepare my lesson for tomorrow night, which is really a dud of a lesson, IMHO -- I don't mean to be putting my own abilities down in this case. This book is just ridiculous; no discussion questions, and some lessons have no scripture references.
I had suggested Max Lucado's Tame Your Thoughts before, and one of the ladies seemed very interested in that, but I pulled back a little (book costs $20 in paperback) because I suddenly panicked -- what if that study led me to overshare, you know, and then worry about things I might say?
OTOH... I may suggest we re-think this current book we're studying. I am getting nothing out of it.
Nancy -- that's good that you met new neighbors!
RE: OG's stone!
No -- he was in a full-size casket, and there were no errors on his stone. Headstone was fine; six feet away, foot stone was fine.
The only thing is, the "new person's" stone may be facing the other way. This cemetery is really weird. You know how normally, all headstones are lined up facing east? Well, here, according to how the "front" of the stones are printed, some are facing east and some facing west. There seems to be no logic to how they are printed. So that's kinda confusing. But the fact remains... his foot stone is almost touching his dad's headstone and there is nothing between the foot stone and this other person.
I guess I could ask my Dfriend, who was OG's friend, if he has talked to the daughter and knows anything about this. Things were kinda awkward there, however. The daughter was a little estranged from her dad at one point, plus sometimes I think it is painful for my friend to talk about him. And if he has not heard this, it will probably upset him. If my friend's wife were still alive, there would be no problem.
Sigh. I'm probably obsessing about this to avoid facing my "real" life.
I'm going to get on with my "perfect" day.
Get my morning routine done. It's only 3:00 pm.
dang!
