Nicole's Daybook

Outside my window... actually kind of warm and muggy! It's overcast. We had some rain in the night.

I am thinking... about how heavy we make life, constantly analyzing everything, instead of enjoying what there is to enjoy.

I am thankful ... that we had a nice weekend with Kyndal, with everyone getting to spend the time with her that they desired.

I am wearing... jeans, a long-sleeved gold t-shirt, brown and cream puffy vest, brown Sperrys.

I am planning...  for Dawson and I to go to dinner with Eli's speech pathologist and her son, to discuss a possible "partnership".
 
I am creating... Brynne's valentines for her party on Friday.

I am going... to run all my Tuesday errands today: recycling, library, Dog grooming, bank, Walmart.

I am reading...  My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira, Chasing Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson (Dawson's daily read-a-loud), Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut (keeping up with Dawson so we can discuss it, one chapter a week), Stepping Heavenward by E. Prentiss (my daily devotional), Beautiful in God's Eyes by Elizabeth George (book study I am doing with a friend, doing one chapter every two weeks), For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn.

I am hoping... that I do not get overwhelmed and grumpy today since I have completely over-scheduled my day. Typical.

From the learning rooms... We are pretty much doing the same things we were doing last week.The Civil War and Dogs. I am pleased that Dawson is doing so well with algebraic equations, and actually enjoying them (slightly). I always loved algebra ... solving a problem.

Noticing that ... I miss the great mini-series of the '80s. They were so good, and rich, and moving. What happened to good, quality television?

From the kitchen... Tonight-Meatball subs; Tomorrow-Wine Wednesday and Fend for Yourself (FFY); Thursday-Baked Salisbury Steak and homemade mac and cheese ; Friday-Spaghetti and left over meatballs ; Saturday and Sunday-don't know yet.

Around the house... is a very upset 10 year old kitty cat. He started pottying on our carpet, in lots of different spots, so we moved him and all his supplies into the office where there is only stained concrete floors. Then he ruined a chair in there. So, we had to move him out to the garage. He has everything he needs there, and we have made him very comfortable. But, he is super unhappy. And so is Eli.

One of my favorite things... are Fig Newtons. I bought some this morning, on a whim, and Yum!!

A few plans for the rest of the week... We really have no plans this week except for Saturday when Rick and I are going to a church leadership planning meeting. Brynne will be spending the day with her cousin, Angela, and she is very excited! Angela has been good to Brynne, trying to help her fill the void of Kyndal being gone.

  1. your 10 year old cat is probably going into kidney failure take him to the vet soon so he can get treatment, seriously take it from me my mom, and sister's cats did the same thing. Plus our 13 yr old dog did the same thing all before they passed away.

    Please for your peace of mind I know it's frustrating but they can't help it, and they can't talk to say what is wrong.

    I don't mean to be preachy or come off mean it just can be a sign of something bad to come.
