I haven't been worth a plug nickel today. The sun shone, but 'twas cold and not going to get any better in the next few days. Am I ready for winter? NO! The only benefit to this season over winters past is that I don't have to worry about getting up and out in the dark to go to school. I am aware, however, that the neighbor boy has to meet the bus close to 8:00 AM on my property, and I need to be somewhat more vigilant about shoveling the sidewalk for Jack and the parent/grandparent who waits with him for the bus to arrive. Maybe I'll arrange for Neighbor Fred to snow-blow for me. Might be worth a few bucks. Fred is no spring chicken, but he does a helluva job on his lawn in the mowing season, and his property in the blowing season. Guess I'll ask.
The HCARS Christmas dinner on Thursday was nice, but I didn't get to visit with everyone...and my belly blew up mid-meal. I was uncomfortable and left as soon as I could. (I think my meds are responsible. This has been going on for awhile.) In any case, I look forward to being a bit more active in the club. When Megan and the children moved in, my activity went down dramatically. Now that is all changed. I am relying on my motivation to dictate how much and when I can return to my own decision of activity.
God has given me a load of crap to deal with this fall. If it is true that He doesn't give us any more than we can handle, I must be Superwoman! It has aged me considerably. Still, all that I have and all that I am is by the grace of God. Only He can tell how the rest of my life will go. I certainly have no control over any of it!
Getting through Christmas will be tough. I've done this before. I can do it again. It ain't pretty, but it will happen. I miss my mommy!
