January Inventory

The song that has captured my attention is:
No Night There No More Night by David Phelps.
I tried to recall the words as I sat at Jae's grave tonight in the dark.
The nights don't really bother me.
But I'm looking forward to the day where there will be no more graveyards.
I guess that wouldn't make a very good song title.


The scripture on my mind is:
Isaiah 3.
My friend Daniel was talking about this chapter today.
It describes what happens when a nation loses it's leadership.

I am frustrated by:
manipulative people.

I am stressed about:
3 Cheerleaders events. There's too many emotions and worries there to even describe.

I laughed today about:
Today at work, as we were crazy busy, Daniel and Levi pick pocketed a cellphone off of one of our patients. They then asked him "Where's your cell phone?"
As he pats his pockets and begins to search for it, I try to foil their practical joke by telling the patient that I would call it for him so we could find it. (Thinking it would be in one of the boys pockets)
I dialed the number and guess where they had put it?
In MY pocket.
The whole unit howled!

I am excited about:
My new 4 poster bed. I've been married for 28 years and have never had a headboard. I have no idea why it's taken me so long to get one. The girls have all had at least two or three. Anyway.
Now I have the huge 4 poster bed I've always wanted.
Then I just HAD to buy the matching dresser and nightstand.
Of course, then I NEEDED a new bedspread/quilt.
And curtains.


******************
Last night, as I traveled my little country road here by my house, I came up behind a beautiful red Corvette.
"He's gonna leave me in his dust" I thought.
It was a road hugger.
Hello-officer Red.
Corvette.
Instead of watching him drive out of sight, I found myself having to keep from tailgating him.
He simply would not speed up!
In fact,...we were going so slow that a minivan passed us.
That's just wrong.
Beige mini-vans are not supposed to pass red corvettes.

I want to see your new bedroom suite, sounds like fun. Ok, I have a question, what makes you go to the cemetary at night? Just curious!

Your writing is inspiring to me. We all deal with grief in such different ways. You tackle grief head-on, I never learned to deal with it at all. Too many painful memories associated with the subject.
Let's do lunch at work one day?!?! Any day, any time.
