Silly Frustrations.

 Silly Frustrations.

 

Tried once again to renew my tags online. Messed it up again somehow. Think it can just wait until September gets here. May just go to United then to get the renewal. Silly, old, non-tech woman!

 

One great thing happened today: the Leos family got their central air fixed! Shona said that she has cool air! SO happy for them. They can get all the AC units out of the windows and the fans out of the floors now. It’s pretty hard to live without cool air in this weather. Can’t imagine spending all day working in the heat and having to come home to a hot house!

 

Have been thinking about spending about 30 minutes to an hour each morning taking everything out of the workshop until it can be thoroughly cleaned. The concrete has cracked in so many places that the floor is anything but smooth. Guess that is why folks who have concrete slabs for foundations have to run water around them to keep them from cracking. Not that it really matters with the workshop. Storing the toolboxes and other things in there is not a big deal really. Just would like to have things reorganized. This may or may not get done before the end of September, but it is a task worth planning.

 

Organizing our lives takes a certain amount of faith, all things considered. We think we have another day to finish things that we start, don’t we? Each day it seems that one of my thoughts is being thankful for another day—even if nothing special is planned or accomplished. Not everyone gets another day. And the blessings we have in our lives are not always guaranteed either. Clean water that tastes decent is something that still makes me thankful. Remembering how the water smelled out in Petrolia used to make me wonder how the parents could drink their coffee. And then, there were some times out there when they just flat did not have water. The lake dried up and the wells would not fill up the water tower. Plenty of other towns have had that problem even lately. So, do we think we should be thankful? My suggestion is to praise God for all the good things, water included.

 

Still have some rain water left to pour onto the deck to dribble down between the boards so the hens have a cool place. Went out a few minutes ago and splashed three or four buckets of water over the boards. They stood around the edges and then went right back under there! They are no one’s dummies!

 

Really don’t feel like talking or writing today. The dogs keep getting me up around three each morning. Not sure why, but it definitely messes with my sleep patterns—or wakefulness later. Going to get gripey in my old age—or maybe just grumpy. It’s probably a good thing that the old woman mostly stays at home. The dogs are accustomed to being told to move, and the hens have figured out how to walk around the sneakers without being stepped on!

 

Let us remember to be thankful for good health, good friends, and all the many blessings we have been given. God is so very good to us.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
