September doesn't start until tomorrow, but my calendar is already full. Most of the things on my calendar are wonderful, in and of themselves, but all together can make life a little hectic.
The Imp being on the crew team has made her days really long. She goes to school until 3, then stays at school (supposedly getting some homework done) until 4 when crew practice starts. Fortunately, the school is on the Hillsborough River and they have a dock, so she doesn't have to go anywhere for practice. Hubby picks her up at 6. They're home between 6:30 and 7, then she showers, we eat, then homework, then bed. She's sleeping well.
The Swine Flu hoopla is dying down, even though the absentee rate is still very high. The Imp's theology teacher is back. The Singer's college has plans in place for video broadcasting classes, should the flu break out there. I wash my hands even more than I did.
I planted most of my Fall garden yesterday: cucumbers, more peppers, onions, lettuce, and beans. I've ordered garlic and potatoes for planting. With just my peppers from my summer crop still producing, I haven't been out in my garden much lately. It felt good to go out and play in the dirt for a while.
I've been thinking about our 25th wedding anniversary that is fast approaching in December. I'd really like to make it special, but am not sure exactly what I'm going to do. For the last 5 years or so, we'd be saying we'd take a cruise. With the economy and return to Catholic school, that's been put on hold...maybe our 30th. So whatever I plan needs to be reasonably priced.
My evening Bible study goes until November 3 and it's a comprehensive look at the totality of the Bible and the story of salvation. My morning Bible study starts next Tuesday and is a more in-depth look at 1 and 2 Corinthians. I'm not sure how this is all going to pan out. But I'll give it a whirl.
My mom's birthday is tomorrow. I really wish people I know would have been more considerate and have birthdays mid to late month. I never get cards out on time for those with birthdays at the beginning of the month. Truth be told, I haven't gotten a birthday card to anyone on time for about 2 years! But I keep trying. Failed again with my mom. Fortunately she likes me and will forgive me.
My husband is the best guy in the whole world. To list all his positive attributes would take too long. But this week, the thing I'm most thankful for is his ability and willingness to give me a back rub. I'm not sure what I did last week, but my neck/shoulders are killing me. He rubbed my back last night, but I'm still in pain. You know the tension in your shoulders is bad when it hurts just sitting still. I've been stretching all day, had heat on it, and sat on my massaging pad, but still need a massage. Fortunately, I don't have to pay for one.
It's less than 2 weeks until Rock the Universe at Universal Studios where the Singer will compete for Voice of an Angel. I'm so exctied and nervous. We got our tickets and are staying overnight in Orlando Saturday night. I can't wait to hear her, and to hear all the great Christian bands playing.
