OK! On Monday I got my whole list done, except my daily Bible reading. God and I are working on that. As far as the load of laundry is concerned, I even folded it after washing it (instead of putting it on the step ladder, in front of the washer, to be done later-it usually ends up on the floor) and put it away. Tuesday I got things done that were not on my published list. The important thing that I did was go to Wachovia and visit with Kent. He got me set up for a safety deposit box and he put the correct #’s on my direct deposit form (I always getting the routing # and acct # confused). Those items are on my big list (which will take a LONG while to accomplish). He even ordered new checks for me, which I totally forgot to put on my list at all. I also returned the documents to the Stuchells, did Monday and Tuesday’s Bible reading, and took dishes that are stacked in my bedroom (I know that is gross……I tend to live in there) down to the kitchen and put them in the sink. Then I looked at all the dishes in the sink and the dishes in the dishwasher, which seems to have broken so they need to be rewashed, and I wanted to cry. I seriously thought about throwing out all my dishes and buying new ones and starting over. But I decided that is not cost effective since I just bought a car. So, I decided, in the mindset of Scarlett O’Hara, that tomorrow is another day and I will think about that tomorrow……which means I have to figure that one out today. I also did not go to the grocery store last night. Good thing actually. The only thing I knew I needed was stamps…..I forgot two other very important items (one being tp….I do not really like the idea of using leaves). So, I saved myself a trip back tonight.
In church the Sunday before last, Pastor Doug started preaching about transformation. I forgot his exact words, but he said something about when you step out in transformation, you will be attacked. I remember thinking, I have no idea where I am being transformed but I am definitely being attacked (needed to find a new car and dealing with the lymphodema and cellulitis, among other things). I am wondering if God is having me step out in transformation for my entire life at once………..a little overwhelming, but I guess I am still hanging in there so far.
Anyway today I have already done my Bible reading. Other things I need to do today:
1. Turn in my direct deposit form (already went to do it and forgot my voided check)
2. Hand in a request for time off to go to the DMV on Friday
3. The dishes (can someone pls tell me it is all right to throw them all out and start over? is there a dishomat or a dish cleaners………like a laundromat or the dry cleaners?)
I already want to give up on the kitchen
4. OH! I almost forgot. First thing I need to do tonight is figure out if the fuse blew to the refrigerator and then figure out which fuse it is. They are all mislabelled in the fuse box and I have not figured out what is what yet. I think I lost the list I started for it too. And, if the fuse did blow, when I find it, I need to replace it.
So, as far as the dishes are concerned, I may take the Scarlett O’Hara stance again tonight. Oh well…………
God bless all
I am adding to my earlier post. I have been given a special assignment, to start tomorrow, for the Chief of Police. So, I am going to see if the DMV is open on Saturdays, instead of taking time off on Friday. I am feeling a little overwhelmed here. While I was walking away from my supervisor, my manager, and the major who gave me the assignment, my manager said I was their “most willing…………..” something. I did not hear what she called me. Now I feel all this pressure to not blow this assignment. But, I am SO excited about it.
