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.
We are in Seattle. We got here yesterday. It seems longer. We went to the Chihuly Museum yesterday evening. It’s gorgeous. We both took lots of pictures. These two are just a small sample.
