I got home with just enough time to run and get some groceries, eat dinner with Candi, watch a little bit of “Head Of State” on Cinemax, do the dishes, take out the trash, and empty the cat litter boxes. Doing all that meant still going to bed at midnight and waking up later (after not even hearing my alarm), not showering, and getting to work 30 min late -and this is an evening I consider “free” in that I didn’t have any appointment with anyone or anything! I’ve got to do something to get out of this commuting work. I think it’s killing all my available time for just LIFE. We’ve got a birthday party tonight at our house and I’m hardly prepared for it. I hope Candi won’t be too mad that I didn’t help out that much last night with the cleaning. I don’t know how other families manage to do this for years on end -and with kids!
I’m thinking of seeing if I can just take some time this coming Saturday and just go somewhere alone and just be still for a few hours. I need to get away and do some planning, scheming, sketching, and some serious praying. Don’w know if it’ll happen but you never know. At least that’s what I’m shooting for…
I was asked to be involved in another counseling/recovery ministry earlier this week. I think it will mean leaving the one I’m involved with right now and that is weighing heavy on my heart. I have been a part of this group for two years now and owe a lot of where I’m at personally to the help I indirectly received from being there. I suppose it’s time to move on and do some sort of “greater good” as a result but I just don’t like the idea of leaving.
Our two remaining kittens are just runnig all over the house these days. I’m hoping “Dipstick” won’t be too alarmed when his brother “Bear” leaves to go live with my Mom. He will wine like crazy just if Bear goes outside without him. They can’t stand to be alone for more and a few short moments. We’ll see…
