Life before 2008 13 Jan 2006 09:05 am
okay, so I’m a whinner….
and need to get over myself some days. This much is true.
Mt. Laundry still resides in the dining room but we got through yesterday fine, when it was all said and done. Today’s to-do list is crazy-long but there’s cash in my pocket and the sun waited for me. It should be a good one.
This morning I was reminded what a great blessing the UPS job is for David. He works with several music ministers and pastors, “salt of the earth” guys in his words. They have fantastic morale, excellent safety and performance records, and otherwise have a great time together. Since they are from different denominations their conversation often sounds like the jokes that starts out, “there was a priest, a pastor, and a rabbi…” . One of the guys is a farmer and brings in fresh pork products; this morning it was a pork loin roast with the trimmings as a celebration for hitting a performance record. David comes home charged for his day, encouraged and strengthened.
We almost had a date night tonight. One thing that year 7 taught us was to not get so absorbed in our own work that we dont’ take time out and a change of scenery to communicate. Date night isn’t happening tonight but it will before the month is out and that’s a GOOD thing! Down to our very pores we can feel the longing for a bit of uninterupted time and the happy vibes of “dinner and a bookstore”.
Somewhere there’s a rumor that we’re getting real snow tonight and that the mountains are getting 4 inches or more. It’s been very warm all week so I don’t see how in the world the white stuff is gonna stick…I’ll beleive it when I see it!
