and then I wasn't going

Some things in life change on a dime.  I know this but still, you get excited for things then you get disappointed when they don't work out.

I was going to take this class that starts next Thursday, but things changed and the class will go on without me.

Such is life.

I didn't do what I set out to to this morning.  It'll have to wait one more day.  I'm not feeling well.  I have the worst sore throat..., but anyway, there were things I needed to do around here.  We picked a bunch of stuff last Sunday from the garden and I had to take care of it today or it was gonna spoil.  Miss June has been busy all week, so it kind of fell on me to do something with the things.  So today, I did.

I picked more corn.  I picked tomatoes and there are lots more that will be ready by Monday or Tuesday of next week.  I found a cucumber that wasn't ginormous, and picked it.  There will be another one in a few more days.  Think it's funny they finally grew at the end of the season.  I have one pumpkin.  I doubt it'll be ready before the frost.  There were a few small ears of corn, so I picked them to go with the other ones.  I blanched and froze corn and green peppers this morning.  There are a couple of right-size zucchini too.  I even found some jalapeno peppers and picked about a dozen of them as well.

I might make another batch of salsa.

I finished my laundry.  It's folded and put away.  In a minute, I have to get ready for work.  The floors are swept and the trash is ready to go out.  The dishes are washed and I will put them away when I get home.  Chicken is thawing out for dinner later on tonight, too.

Genesis 2:18 is the scripture for the day.  If you take the time to look it up, you'll see why I'm in kind of a sad mood.  It's just that kind of a day......

    Paul had something to say about that. See 1 Corinthians 7:1-8 (ok read verse 9 too)

    So, would it be just a coincidence that I opened my Bible to this very page this morning?

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
