It's obvious I'm not supposed to repair my own vehicles. Broke a lug stud off the truck the other day. Now I stripped one of the bolts that holds the brake caliper on the Forester.
Hey, MDOT, that new salt stuff you use in winter is much worse on cars than the story you're selling us. Wheels shouldn't be welded to the rotors in just one season!
Now I am completely without a car and have had to cancel some appointments for next week and will have to rely on Hubby to tote me around for the rest.
Today I won't mind being home, it's cloudy and gray and we're supposed to get rain. Hubby is out tilling the garden plot, but it's too early to plant. Later he has volunteered to help kids plant some trees. I'm not sure where this is to take place, but I'll bet he comes home wet and cold.
Somehow I need to get to the store again or send Hubby, I was planning on making chicken enchiladas, but 'someone' ate the last of the cheese last night for a snack.
Today will be spent finishing projects I had on my list for yesterday. I did complete a fair amount, but like someone said yesterday, it looked like more of a list for two days and it was indeed! I did get Suki trimmed and groomed which was the biggest, most urgent item on my list.
I trimmed and filed my nails yesterday, but will paint them today. I also filed a bunch of student materials and that is a big load off my mind. I finished my "bling" trading cards so those are all ready for the June trade and my music is ready to go for church in the morning.
Today I need to do my yoga, clean out my closet and re-organize my bedroom, read, clean out my computer files and organize them, and file some scrapbook supplies I won't be using again for a while. In addition to making the enchiladas I will make another casserole to make tomorrow easier. That also may be too much for one day, but I'll see.
Prayer concerns: The situation at church, please pray I handle the changes and the attacks on music and perhaps even me personally because of my stand, with love and grace.
Daughter #2's anxiety. She has a Drs. appointment for June, I hate to see her have to go on meds.
Finances...everything seems to be falling apart.
My blessing for today...another day to tend to projects here at home.
Happy Saturday!
First of all let me say, I truly appreciate your friendship here on blogger. I probably will never meet you face to face, but I do seem to understand you by your words. I do pray you are able to handle the changes at church. I also pray your daughter wont have to take meds, but if she does, it will be worth it to handle her anxiety. I know about that problem. Jim was prescribed a new med for that just this past week. Hope you get more projects finished today and tomorrow ill be calm.
ReplyDeleteYou did get quite a bit accomplished yesterday. Sorry to hear about your car. If you were only closer, I know someone that could help.
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you and the situation at church. Keep smiling and know that God has it under control.
Prayers for your daughter too. I hope she doesn't have to go on meds either. It seems once you start, it's hard to get off them. I know. I started taking lamotrigine after I had the panic attacks that ruined my family's Christmas Eve 3 yrs. ago.
I hope you have another productive day today. ♥
Car troubles are just about the worst kind of troubles, especially when you rely on one for so much. Maybe there is someone at church who knows about brakes and can help fix them? You are in my daily prayers, and I'll continue to pray for you! I hope all goes well at church, with the music situation. Your daughter #2 has been added to my prayer list, Julie. Please keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteJulie, please know that I said prayers this morning for your daughter,and I asked God to bring you and your husband financial help and peace to deal with the changes in your church. Doesn't it always seem like several stressful situations hit all at once. I was telling Walt, why can't we ever spread them out just a bit..lol.
