I can’t believe today is the last day of January. One whole month of 2024 is already gone. Did I make the best use of those days? Did I do something good for someone to make their life happier or better? I will strive to do more in February.
Kelly and I were pretty low key this morning, reading and doing computer work and feeding the boys. They were both still coughing and neither one was at their best. They left a little after 1pm and it took me half an hour to acclimate myself to their absence. Then I dug in and cleaned the flag bedroom, both bathrooms and the entire downstairs. I needed to deep clean to chase the germs away and hopefully can avoid illness. I will finish cleaning upstairs tomorrow after work.
I emptied the dishwasher and took the trash up to the road for morning, then got cleaned up and went to Bible Study. It was very intense and in addition to feeling sad about the boys being sick, and not seeing Cameron all week, and missing Kelly, that was just hard. And the acoustics in the welcome center are sort of echo-y. So I guess I’m just being a Debbie Downer! TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY, as Scarlett O’Hara would say! But… Shelagh made sheet cake for snack so all was not lost. I only ate half. Too much sugar, but very good!
Here are two pictures of Cam that Autmn sent me. He spent the day with his dad. I have missed seeing him this week. Maybe Friday!
TRIVIA – the correct spelling is: accommodate. Today’s trivia is a quote from Lucille Ball: The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Birthdays, etc, for January 31st: 1734 – Robert Morris – Founding Father (signer of the Declaration of Independence) – not to be confused with Christopher Morris, my friend Gen’s older son, who celebrates his birthday today. Happy birthday, Chris! 1981-Justin Timberlake – singer/songwriter; In 1865 General Robert E Lee was named commander in chief of the confederate army;
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW February 1st is:
National Dark Chocolate Day; Optimist Day; National Texas Day; National Get Up Day; National Baked Alaska Day.
Dark Chocolate is my favorite. And I hate to say it but I am NOT an optimist. My aunt used to make Baked Alaska. Haven’t had it in decades! Happy February — God bless…
