Why is it that I can easily pay all of my bills online...except for my electricity? For years, I have paid the bill through their Western Union deal...costing me almost $4 to do so...but tonight, it wouldn't accept my account numbers. So, tonight I am caught up on everything except electricity. If they shut me off, they are going to hear bad words from me!!
So...what did I do today? Not too much. I cleaned out the microwave and tidied up the laundry area. I talked to my sister on the phone in prep for a maybe race date. I did some dishes. I watched a lot of birds and some TV. Does it matter??
A year ago this month, I retired from teaching, at my daughter's encouragement. My immediate future was set: I would watch the grandchildren before and after school, giving my daughter a chance to escape to work without the trauma of dragging the kids to Grandma Judy's so very early in the day. I thought I knew what things were about...then the rug got pulled. I was given no warning, nor were the grandchildren, that they were going to be yanked from my home to Daddy's. That was in mid-September. I have spent the entire rest of the time since then trying to make sense of my life, mine, and hers. All I have left in this life is to manage the loneliness into the precious moments that I have with my grandchildren. God provides.
I'm done for the day. Church tomorrow...and the rest of the week as it comes.
