I have the week off from one job, but not the other. I had intended to get so much work done moving this week, but so far I've been feeling lousy. I went to work Saturday, and broughthome a load of stuff from the old house. I stayed home in bed on Sunday. I got pills for Mom and the dog (not from the same place) on Monday. I went to work and back yesterday and today. Though I did do a load of laundry and take out the garbage this morning. So I guess I've managed to accomplish something, even if it's not as much as I had hoped.
We had a lovely spring snowstorm Monday. It snowed for almost a day and a half. Yesterday morning looked like a Christmas card with snow sticking on all the trees. By this morning it had all melted away. It is the time of muddy snow and huge puddles. We do have a few blades of green grass in our yard, though. Spring is coming, slowly but surely.
My dog only has to wear her cone collar until Friday morning. Her stitches come out then. I have to try to run her straight into the vet's office so she can have a urinalysis. She needs to take her pills for a month or more, though. She doesn't like the pills, but she loves the bread I hide the pills in and the extra attention. She's acting like she's feeling terrific, so I'm hoping the vet says it's o.k. to take her running at the lake this weekend (She'll run. I'll watch.). :)
I found a pretty nice Christian website called ChristiansUnite (their print is tiny except for a couple of people who insist on posting part of their message in huge, bright red letters that make my head hurt). I joined their forums yesterday. It's lovely to have fellowship online with other Christians, and I'm learning a lot from what I'm reading. I just wish I could see all of my online friends (here and there) in person.
I'm not sure I agree with half of what I'm reading at ChristiansUnite. I am definitely going to have to write a very well-researched post about depression (and send depressed folks here!). Someone put up a bunch of Bible verses that were supposed to help when we're feeling depressed, which is fine, but this guy's commentary was very much in the "suck it up and get over yourself" camp. I hate to think what would happen if someone who is suicidal read that baloney.
I think I'm going to get off my soapbox and quit writing now. It's getting late, and I haven't been sleeping very well. So I think I'll go to bed early(ish) tonight. Have a good night!
