Sometimes it seems like short weeks are longer than a Monday-Friday week. This week was one of those long weeks, but I will say that I got a lot done at work. I'm not usually a procrastinator. I normally tackle that project I really don't want to do, so that it's done and off my plate. I had three projects that I have been shuffling to the bottom of the stack (so to speak) and I finally got them DONE. Monday will look much nicer to me next week!!
On a more somber note...
This morning, one of my co-workers came to my office and surprised me by asking me to pray for his niece. I had no idea that this man was a believer, or that he knew I was. I felt bad, thinking he came in to ask for a payroll advance, or to complain about something. He said his mom had just called to tell him that his 13-year old niece was in the hospital, with no brain activity. She had a seizure disorder, evidently had a seizure while in the bathtub, and her mom found her under water and not breathing. A horrid situation for her parents. I just can't imagine. I told him I would pray for her and her family, and would ask my friends to also pray for her. I asked for prayer on FB this morning, and thank those who offered prayers. Later today, he told me that she died. So very sad.
Deep breath...
I got home, and Joe wanted pizza for dinner. I am always ready for pizza. No cooking, no dishes to do. Tomorrow, nothing on the calendar and I didn't get either of the invitations sent out to the neighbors or our long-lost friend (see yesterday's blog). We'll work on that for next week. I'll do some cleaning, and get the laundry done and hopefully relax. Mega-boring stuff!
We're getting rain and pressure surges from Isaac's spawn...Tropical Storm Nadine. No threat to us, except for rain all weekend. Gives me a good excuse to stay in and be lazy, perhaps!!
Wishing everyone a good evening and weekend! Peace, love & hugs.
Absolutely heartbreaking....... so sad to read that on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI pray that that young girl's family will somehow be comforted.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad. My heart goes out to the family. I also love those pizza nights.... no work to do. :)
ReplyDeleteWe've had rain all day today and more is expected for the weekend. Not good for the Hot Air Balloon festival at the fairgrounds.
You have a good weekend.

"the best laid plans of mice and men..." Taking another week to make plans to entertain will be better. Glad you got a lot done at work, and as you said, Monday wont look so bad! As I am not one that likes to cook, I love the times when Jim says, lets go here or there and I am first in the car! Sorry about the rain, but we are due today too. Hope you get the dreaded household chores done so you can relax tomorrow. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI always try to get those kinds of tasks done first too. Always a good feeling to know they are done.
ReplyDeleteWe've been getting a lot of rain lately too.
Enjoy your weekend
Enjoy the weekend, I mowed last night, big task done for another couple weeks. Checking things off my list until I fly out on Thurs for a long weekend with family in Minnesota. I'm the birthday girl this weekend, so pampering myself.
ReplyDeleteThat poor family will have a rough time for awhile fighting grief and probably guilt that they didn't find her faster.
ReplyDeleteWe are in Ontario. The local fall fair was washed out today so the grand-girls are hoping for drier weather tomorrow. They have all day passes for as many rides at the carnival part as they want.
I was praying for her and was so sad when I had seen she had passed away. I don't know how a parent can handle this. Keeping them in my prayers as they grieve the loss of their daughter.
