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.
