I did my part
I spent today doing what I would have done yesterday if I hadn't been called to work. In the end, I'm happy with the results. My day was just a bit longer without the benefit of running hot water, but I do have large pans and a large stove to heat water, which is what happened so I could wash dishes, mop the floors, and clean the carpet I needed to.
At the end of today, I'd had to run to the store three different times. I forgot peppers. I forgot dog food. I forgot milk. I ran out of boxes so a trip to Walmart was a must, but now, I have the sitting room back. Miss June's things are fairly well packed up and ready for her when she returns. My bedroom is clean and the bed made. Laundry didn't get done, but boxing up the last bit of June's stuff took the better part of the day, when you include stacking it all in one room. It's done. All of it, save for what's in the middle bathroom because it's not hurting anything by being there and that room is jam-full of stuff.
I finished the sermon. I think it's good. I hope it's taken well, because nothing works without people sharing their gifts with others. I didn't use the word talents. Gifts, God reminded me, is a better word because it implies a Giver.
And it must be the right message because I saw a lot about the other part of the message this week, which is: joy stealers.
I did have time to sit down and watch a little bit of football. Mostly though, it was just on so I could hear it. In the end though, I'm glad I got done what I did. It's possible to see the floor in the dining room again and the house is relatively clean again. I do have a truckload of stuff I need to get to the transfer station, and that will happen Monday or Tuesday. Monday if they're open. Tuesday if not.
So, I did my part. I worked yesterday. I worked around here today. Tomorrow, sometime, I have to take the Christmas wreaths down. If there's time, I'll get the lights, but for now, at least the wreaths have to come down. And then there's dog bombs to clean up. I wanted to get that done today while the weather was so nice. But I'll get to them.
And then, it'll be time to turn my attention back to the basement.
Once that's cleaned out, I'm taking a break from home projects for a few weeks. Then it'll be time to start thinking about re-doing the laundry room. That's next. I don't have a choice with that one.
