To sum it all up in one word- BUSY. Work has been busy with an upcoming Dec 31st deadline I have taken on 2 projects and it makes for an interesting journey. Not only do I have to learn the new business but I also need to create marketing materials for it. Let's just say things are getting stressful. As for S - last week he had a parent -student University info session which I attended with him. I said I would reach out to W to inform her and asked me to pass on the message for her not to come because if she showed up he would leave. I said out of respect that I would inform her. I texted W and she just texted me to keep her posted. S and I looked at various schools that had good computer science programs. After finding out that the school that he was interested in wanted to see that he was strong in computers individually and as a team- he said that evening that he would join the computer science team and they would compete in competitions in the new year. Another step in the right direction! W asked if she could come over for more cleanup once last week but with my hectic schedule with work/S/ gym and GAL I could not fit her in.
My poor dog last week followed me into the kitchen without me knowing and as I checked on a pressure cooker it overflowed burning my dogs nose , left ear and left shoulder. Poor guy was burned -had blisters on his face in his ear and it got infected. He is on meds now and recovering nicely.
Last Saturday would have been my 17th wedding anniversary. I went to the gym in the morning - heading to the gym I put on some music only to hear a song that I would often play shortly after BD . Steve85- I think you will like this Christian song by Chris August called "Restore" here are beautiful lyrics. As I hear the music I look into the clouds and see the sun start to peek thru the clouds. I took a moment to thank God and went on to a great work out.
Restore- Chris August
Nobody's growing old together, we've made it easy just to quit Love has become a negative percentage, why do we bother to commit We've got a long list of excuses, ways we try to justify Well, I propose to you the truth is, marriage does not have to die I know you're feeling like it’s falling apart and it can't go on anymore But God is a God who knows how to heal so just give it up to the Lord And He will restore He said with this ring I promise, and with I do she said forever But right now if they're being honest they don't know if they'll stay together Let's fast forward to the future after struggling on their own They finally figured out they needed Jesus in the middle Now I'm watching God rebuild their home I know you're feeling like it’s falling apart and it can't go on anymore But God is a God who knows how to heal so just give it up to the Lord And He will restore The enemy tries to come and divide Trying to get us to give up the fight But darkness will always lose out to light 'Cause we've got the power of Christ on our side I see you growing old together I pray I find a love like yours So if you're feeling like it’s falling apart and it can't go on anymore God is a God who knows how to heal so just give it up to the Lord And He will restore Like it was before You may have strayed off course But He will restore
In the afternoon I went out to have a nice lunch with my S and my sister.
Yesterday W texted me to do some cleanup on the weekend. I said I could not because Saturday S and I were going to a university open house in the morning followed by a family celebration for my nephew after for the rest of the day. Sunday was for church/gym/grocery/ cleanup/ laundry/ meal prep. In her next text she asked about which University we were visiting and that she wanted to complete the clean up process. I responded by validating saying that I could appreciate that she was getting frustrated and wanted to complete the task but unfortunately there is not enough time in the day for me to do everything. I finished by letting her know that I will work with her to finish this up( all done by text) . She has yet to respond.
This is the reason why I am not posting or responding very often. I apologize for those I have not kept in touch with. I will say that I often do think of you all and that you are all in my daily prayers. With Love and prayers!! LW
