I am at a loss.  Things are quiet.  School is delayed.  I don’t have a schedule as such.  There’s the photography club lunch on Tuesday and church on Sunday.  I need more structure.  I am thinking things will be better next week.  School is still scheduled to start on Wednesday.

I will be picking Elaina up for sure.  Damion maybe, at least for the first week.  Logos starts back the next Wednesday, on September the 6th.   I have volunteered to help with the meals.  I am thinking I may start helping with the community garden on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings.  I keep thinking I should try to do the Cancer Support Group on the first Wednesday of the month at 3pm.  But it’s almost impossible with school pickups. 

Tracy thinks she should get a regular job and wants me to pick up her kids from school and keep them until she gets off work. She vacillates though between getting a job now or continuing to Door Dash until Tim is able to get back to work full time. 

If the older boys have sports practices and I only have to pick up Elaina, the Cancer Support Group is more feasible.  

I’m also feeling called to make a cash donation on Sunday mornings.  The kids don’t see the check I mail every month and I’m feeling like I get credit for that anyway.  Doesn’t that mean that I’ve already got my reward?  Admittedly, it’s not exactly a public thing.  I mail the check with all the other bills and no one knows about it except the people who handle it. Still I get a statement from the church regularly stating how much I’ve given.  Cash in the offering plate on Sundays would be more anonymous, like our giving is supposed to be done.

I am still trying to get the credit cards paid down so I can make a larger donation.  Something closer to 10 percent.  Maybe next year.  I paid off one, then ran it back up.  It’s a never ending cycle.
