Buckle up--last three weeks! Glad I got some sleep!

Well, I got the garden boxes planted, my closet swapped over to lighter clothing, and I even sorted (and tossed out a lot) my shoes. The house is presentable, the deck is inviting, and I made home-made baking soda biscuits and sliced strawberries last night for dessert, after we had ribs and the season's first sweet corn.



It was a very relaxing day. It was a decently relaxing weekend. I read a lot, enjoyed sunshine and fresh air, and got my mental house in order as well. Likely, some doofus will come along today to try to rearrange my mental furniture, but I hope I have enough oomph to guard against that. 

The last three weeks of school can both drag interminably and whizz by, usually at the same time. The softball team has their first play off game on tomorrow, and it's a travel game. It's even money who wins-- if they believe they can, they just might. We'll see. I finally have a chiro appointment for my sore/stiff/creaky neck tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. There's a few other things that are supposed to happen tomorrow, too-- why the Universe decided that every single thing must happen on 5/31, I'll never know. We'll manage it. Might just be a crazy day, but when isn't it?

At any rate, I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable weekend. 

Have a wonderful day,

Keep good thoughts, please...

If you've been following along the blog this summer, then you probably already know that today, G has surgery on his foot to (we pray) correct the ongoing injury so that it will finally heal. If you are a praying person, please keep him in yours. It has been a very long summer of "hurry up and wait" and he's anxious and growly, and he wants to get back to doing. To get back to work. To stop sitting and thinking about all of it.  I'll be online in my writing conference (isn't it always the way, things have to collide like this?), but since it's day surgery, I should have an update early on. Thank God for Meg, as she is running point on the medical side of things.  I hope I have good news to share tomorrow.  C

More prayers-- there's so much to pray for--

Hey folks, things are unsettled --even more than they have been-- and your prayers, good thoughts, and positive vibes are needed and welcome. Geoff continues to heal (we hope), but that road is rocky and uncertain. He's pretty much out of commission for the foreseeable future, even though he *thinks* he can do more than he is supposed to. Crutches are a pain, but are critically necessary. Thus, he has next to no practical mobility. Tim is back in hospital in Boston, and they will be trying to ascertain the source of the fever he's running and has been for a couple of days now. I have zero idea what is up, but we pray it's not another huge hurdle. Meg is doing her best, but it ain't easy. She's headed to Boston in a few hours, and we hope she'll be able to come home in a few days. She is once again not able to get to go to work, so help is always appreciated. G and I have Holly, a friend of Meg's has the new puppy, and we're just gonna do our best.  The r

A change in plans, and I'm glad to live here...

Well, today started out a little different than what I'd originally thought it would-- but all to the better, in a lot of ways. It's a good thing for everyone that Meg et al live next door; her furnace was on the fritz again, and we got up to her letting herself in to bring Holly where it was warm while she waiting for the furnace guru to show up and figure it out.  Long story short, the furnace is fixed, and we got a chance to have an impromptu Sunday breakfast together: Finnish Pancake (a type of dutch baby custard), maple sausage, and fresh raspberries. And hot coffee. Lots. G had to go to work, so it was just us three, and it has been delightful. Yes, I didn't go to in-person church, but the last time I checked, God is everywhere, and He would likely rather I was home to help in this mini-situation. And we have livestream Mass, so that works.  What's interesting, too, is how, in Littleton, it seems that our young adults are bucking a national trend of some decades&#
