The calm therapist version doesn't appear very often. I need to find my flame thrower. I think Sissie hid it.
Sissie is keeping up on the little things coming in and she is gaining confidence. She did have a bad boo boo this morning that shook her, but nothing I have not had happen. We all learn from mistakes.
Last Friday I was giving Sissie $500 to put in Aunties checking account for her upcoming birthday, and then I paid Sissie for the work she had done. She remarked suspiciously... "Where are you getting all this money?" I asked if she had checked her wallet lately. The look on her face. I am always good for a laugh.
My sciatica is bothering me a little, and I want to go to Temple tomorrow, but a day of all sitting may not be in the cards for me. I will see how I feel later today.
I have lots to do. Zippers, knit pants, alterations, wedding dresses. Cleaning, taxes, Valentine cookie making. Valentine treats making. I need to get out the short bread pans. Kelsa will be with me on Valentines Day and we can make deliveries. Deliveries are always much better when a sweet 5-year-old is the delivery boy. I will have her all weekend as Will has a three-day tournament and she does not want to go and sit in the cold stands. I can't imagine why.
I finally got the # to call for my meds that have not been delivered, so I will do that right after this post. Then Sissie wants me to replace a zipper, on a coat of our aunts so she can mail it back.
I also need to go and get gift cards for my eldest grandson's birthday that is this Sunday. He will be 15 I can hardly believe that. They grow up way too fast. But every age is fun, and he was my first.
They changed boundaries in our church, and I am now in a different congregation. I will miss seeing people weekly but also, I will see people I knew before. My buddy is now in a different ward, but I told her she could not get rid of me that easily. I love playing for the choir, and I love the kids I teach music to, and I am going to miss that so much. But new opportunities will arise, I am sure. It is like a new adventure. Some people get really upset when these kinds of changes occur, but not me, I see it as a whole new experience, getting to know people. Besides, Joel's cousin is in this new ward, and I can weekly embarrass him, what fun!
Well, I am off, Sissie has been sewing for 2 hours and I have been playing, now I have to work, or I will get into trouble.
Have a great and productive day
God is good
Kim
Oh lucky recipients of your Valentine treats. Reading your post, I clearly do not know your religion. I've never heard of being reassigned a congregation. I thought it was choice where we all feel comfortable if we choose to worship.
ReplyDeleteOh, and seriously an honest curiosity question, not questioning your religion. I do know there are churches with multiple locations/ campuses.
DeleteI am curious about this too. Do tell.
DeleteA ward is a congregation. A church house may have up to 3 wards attending and sharing the building. When a ward loses say too many youth or women or leadership, they will change boundaries to fix this. Or when a ward gets too large, they will split it and change boundaries. It does make some people very unhappy. It has never bothered me. I think a shake up is good for people.
DeleteI try to look at change that way too Kim. Meeting new people, learning new things may await.
ReplyDeleteI still need to make my Valentine treats too. At least you have a sweet helper.
Well, the helper part is a stretch as she can be terribly messy when helping. But this won't last forever.
DeleteI can just imagine sweet Kelsa helping you to deliver the Valentines treats Kim - she would be so adorable & love every minute of it. xx
ReplyDeleteShe will be quite the little precious thing.
DeleteGetting a delivery from a cute, little one is always more fun!
ReplyDeleteIt really is for the elderly.
DeleteI would not be happy about having to change churches - especially if you are happy where you are. That just sounds wild to me. That seems like a personal decision.
ReplyDeleteAll those goodies will make people smile.
It can be a little unnerving, but it is the same Savior and the same God so I am okay.
DeleteYummy on the cookies. The cookie jar here is almost cleaned out, so I will need to make some more very soon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The problem with my cookie jar is that I am the one cleaning it out!
DeleteI can't imagine my church telling me where I can and cannot attend. That seems so odd to me. I am glad you have a good attitude about it.
ReplyDeleteWell, they would never tell you that you had to go or that you could not attend, we just do it to make things better for everyone as a whole.
DeletePlease let me continue to know the woman who is ready to burn it all down. Solidarity!
ReplyDeleteKay really hid my torch.
DeleteI am concerned about Sluggy! She hasn't posted in forever! Is she okay? Please tell her that I miss her posts!
ReplyDeleteShe is quite sick. Not being able to walk for months has made her really weak and she has trouble with essential tremor. It is a hard condition to control. But I think she is getting stronger.
