I did have a desk!!

Ahhhhh!!! It is now clean and I like sitting here again. To my shame, I found class notes from last spring amongst the mess. Yikes!

My Sugarsnap Pea

My precious little granddaughter who has my heart wrapped around her little finger, though we've never touched is having some health problems. She can't keep anything down — not breastmilk, not formula, not even pedialyte. To find out what is wrong, they have her in the hospital to run some tests. She is also on an IV in order to rehydrate her.

This is my Sugarsnap Pea:



She will be six weeks old on the 15th. My heart is physically aching to be there with her and my daughter and to see them through this. For now, I have to trust my Jesus to be there for me. (I know that is enough, but if you are a grandmother, you understand.)

I know my computer is here somewhere!

Wow!!! I need to clean my desk! If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, I must be lost in my thoughts!

My first day went great

In July of 1988, I left my last day on the job at the last "regular" job I worked. That was 20 years ago. For seven years, I worked as the paid secretary at the church my husband pastored but I never felt like it was a job. I enjoyed the work and I was serving my husband. However, the position did keep my skills honed. I had to use various software to administrate the church records and people skills are key in a church job.

Yesterday, I walked back into a "regular" job — sort of. It is a temporary position in an office. And you know what? I had a great time! There was nothing that seemed beyond the skills I've maintained over the past 20 years. The people were great and it was a great experience.

I fretted for no reason.

I need to remember: "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

They keep telling us

The rain is going to stop. I don't think I believe them any more. I know that there are parts of the United States that could really use the rain. Iowa is not one of those places. It stared snowing in November. When it stopped snowing in April, it started raining. Someday it may stop.

More Random Thoughts

I need to sew today. I'm making myself something new to wear on the 4th at my sister's. I also have some plants that the neighbor sent over that I need to get in the ground before we go out of town tomorrow.

Other than those things, life is pretty calm. I like calm.

My stomache hurts

I have a job interview on Monday. Nervous would be an understatement. I've always excelled at any job I've ever had but it still makes me a nervous wreck to go on an interview. But, I need the money, so I'll tolerate the pain.
