Happy Sunday, y'all.
Sitting at my dining table, I'm trying to decide how to proceed today, and for the week. Healing has taken longer than expected, because, well, it's well known I wait too long to visit doctors. I like them, I just don't have time. God provided time, in a few extra days off. Rest, He tells me.
My colleague, who's a rock star in her own right (She has a hell of a story I need to tell you sometime. You know the products her family made available to America), was able to cover for me, during this most busy time of year. She's a doll, keeps me fat and sassy with Red Velvet Bourbon Cake, Caesar turkey rolls, and just this week, corn pudding, my first corn pudding. The carbs hit the spot(s). She's a sassy Southern Belle. She's a good person, huge heart, and she's a dear friend.
I don't want to go to town, it's simple. I need to wash clothes, pick up essentials, run to the UPS Store. And I don't want to go to town. A gentleman was denied entry to Smith's, our Kroger, on Friday. Today, I don't have it in me to explain I'm ADA and HIPAA covered. I don't want handsome LEO's called to toss the little lady off premises. I might not be able to control myself next time. Those hands. He needs to go with me to target practice, right?
It's taken me a couple days to get my emotions settled, to not weep. I'm not weeping only for me, but my dear friend who lost her life in a tragic accident, in Texas. I weep for one of the most precious, talented families you would ever meet. And as she was known to tell her adult kids, she would tell me to pick up my shield of faith and do what I need to do. Though I'd not seen her in years, I miss her terribly. I miss the joy she brought to all, most especially her family.
My friend in Idaho has offered his washer and dryer. If he and his lady are out running around, I just might take him up on his generous offer. I just don't want to sit around while they could be doing other things.
So, here I sit, procrastinating.
Maggie wants me productive, she's been patient, she needs a long walk.
The sky is an incredible blue, the breeze still pleasant. If I'm going to get out, I need to do it before temperatures rise.
I love y'all, I'm praying for everyone.
xoxo
