1) sleep in
2) eat a late breakfast/lunch
3) work out (because I promised myself I couldn’t do #5 until I did)
4) surf the web / blog / facebook
5) play skyrim
6) cook an awesome dinner
7) chill, preferably in front of the tv (tonight it will be the ISU bball game)
8) SLEEEEEEEEEEEEP (because Sunday mornings come early)
Did you notice what isn’t on there?
Yeah, writing sermons.
Because days off should be days off!
It was a lovely day.
We slept in.
The Hawkeyes won.
Friends came over and we binge watched some television (Newsroom is FANTASTIC, btw).
I figured out how to do a double crochet front post and a double crochet back post for an afghan I started.
My husband made apple pie.
The snow fell and it was so lovely.
And then tonight, as I’m setting my clothes out for the morning, I find it:
A nice little pile of poop.
A present left by Tiki or Turbo.
It rarely happens. I could guess at the reasons, but whatever, I’m not a cat.
*sigh*
Tomorrow, I’m preaching on thankfulness and gratitude, so I’m led to say these things:
I’m grateful for the invention of paper towels and carpet cleaner.
I’m grateful messes can be cleaned up.
I’m grateful for the companionship of those two little furballs.
I’m grateful for imperfections that ground us and humble us and help us to not take life so seriously.
I’m grateful for the grace that I have received when I have messed up.
I’m grateful for people who have helped me to clean up my own mistakes and fumbles.
Not much time to write today. I spent most of my day planting about 175 bulbs in my flower beds.
Daffodils and Muscari and Crocus, oh my.
It is strange to have done all that work and not be able to see any sign that it was done… at least not until we go through the cold and snow of winter.
I’ll be sure to post pictures in the spring.
