Chris
was feeling up to a walk yesterday, so we hit the road. Just did a mile, though. She was starting to hurt again.
When
we got back home I returned to doing my usual Monday work schedule, but I was
immediately rebuked. Chris said it was a
holiday, and I was to take the day off. No
work today. Speaking of holiday, we did
get our flag up. Know how I know for
sure? We have one of those Arlo
motion-activated camera things on our front porch. And it was a windy day. I received no less than 253 alerts that there
was movement on the front porch. At
least we know the thing works.
So
… no work today. It was a trick. I didn’t do any more work for the church, but
boy did we ever do work around the house.
We cleaned off the back porch.
Didn’t through too much away, though.
Chris did wash the outdoor toys that the kids play with when they come
over. And everything looks a little …
straighter? Neater?
I
also tried to do something about stabilizing the stool I use at church. It is getting wobblier and wobblier. I like that word, if it is one. Wobblier.
I took the seat off and tried to adjust the screw bolts holding it to
the legs. I got it a little tighter, but
I needed a longer bolt. Guess I’ll put
that on my Corona checklist. Meanwhile, I’ll
just have to try to be still-er. Is that
a word?
Oh,
and the most difficult part of the day?
That came when we decided to switch out the mattress on our bed with the
one in the blue bedroom. Just wanted to
see if it makes a difference in Chris’ ability to sleep at night. The one we now have is newer than the other
one. This one we bought just after
Hurricane Ike back in 2009. No idea how
old the other one is. I think it was
given to us around the same time. I
slept pretty soundly. Not sure yet about
Chris. She’s still in testing mode.
Psalms
119:2 says, “Blessed are those who keep
his statutes and seek him with all their heart.”
Father,
thank you for the “day off” yesterday.
Thank you for the sacrifice so many made to make such a day off possible. Amen.
