• September of 2009

  In looking back on the Ninth month of the Ninth year of the approximately assumed Seventh millennium, it will be an eclectic recollection, for certain–it’s not exactly as though I’ve been bored…or doing the same interesting thing all the time, either.  In the past month and a half of time since I’ve posted it’s been full, for certain!
  

  • Daniel and Kristin are married
  • School has started
  • I’ve enjoyed stacks of salad-y things from the garden
  • The house is back to the ‘two felines to one human’ ratio
  • The house has not yet recovered from the wedding
  • I have not yet recovered from the wedding
  • That is largely due to school and to the fact that I have had two evenings at home since the wedding–last night and on Tuesday
  • I’m still working through the latter stages of yesterday’s migraine
  • I’m excited about the next couple of weeks and months
  • My cats seriously miss human contact
  • This means they maul me (sans claws, thankfully) upon my arrival in the house to sleep
    
  • I’m struggling with several elements of adrenal fatigue
  • Being home more and being purposeful about rest would help with that
  • The weather has been *gorgeous*!
  • I found another way to do my hair that I really like
    
  • I’ve purchased at least half of my Christmas presents
  • I haven’t wrapped any, however
    
  • I’m *really* enjoying the Buckeyes (and football) happening
  • I’m planning to cook nearly all of my breakfasts, lunches and dinners for next week, today, as I have conferences all night Monday and Tuesday, Prayer Meeting Wednesday and another jewelry dealeo on Thursday
  • As of Thursday, I will have been to three Premier Designs Jewelry Parties in three weeks.  I am not kidding.  I may as well begin selling the stuff so I actually walk home WITH cash, instead of without it!
  • I have stacks of ideas in my head of projects and studies and activities that I want to be doing–I stand by my assertion that I could not have a ‘job’ for ten years and never once be bored
  • While that is true, I *must* state that it has been a good beginning to the school year that I have enjoyed much and for which I have been so thankful!
    
  • For some reason (related to the migraine?) sleep has not worked yesterday/today for me–that’s my usual sure-fire way to be rid of it
  • In spite of that, it’s been a lovely and productive morning…and I’m looking forward to being home for the rest of the day and seeing it continue
  • In spite of that, I’m still torn because there are several good things going on today of which I would really love to be a part
  • Obviously, I’m still struggling to figure out what healthy living looks like–can anyone tell me just why do I have such difficulty with such important, reasonable and presumably commonsensical things?
  • My poor, dear, dependable, hardworking, six-year-old laptop is attempting to breathe its last–of the two hinges that connect the screen to the keyboard, the right-handed one has completely detached.  I’m not completely sure how I’m able to type this and see it, but I’m thankful, none-the-less
  • I’m hoping to post-pone the purchase of a new computer until after I have gotten my second house mortgage paid off and have the cash to do so without issue
  • This will probably not be until next August
  • I am super-psycho excited to have the second mortgage paid off (80/20–the 20).  Not only does it mean that 20% of my house is paid off but that I’ll be able to use that $250 per month for saving and for paying down the 80% mortgage!
    
  • Mom has had a RECORD year at garage sales
  • That is an entirely different post
  • One result of her record garage sale-ing is that I’m hoping to use an ‘interim laptop’ with twice the hard drive (60 gig) of mine (30 gig) and most of the rest of the same features
  • I’m *quite* thankful for that option!
  • I’m working on a study of Revelation
  • It sometimes feels overwhelming, but it’s incredible, none-the-less
    
  • I had lots that I wanted to say on here
  • That was before the migraine
  • I think I’ve managed to say more than enough anyways
  • Of course, I have stacks of pictures that I would love to share
  • Of course, the computer always takes hours to upload them…so I end up sharing very few
  • Perhaps this is not always a bad thing
    
  • This isn’t a very deep post…but it’s where I am…in somewhat of survival mode…attempting to walk out of what could become several deep holes if I’m not vigilant, one step at a time
  • Keeping walking and not sitting down and falling into a hole feels really good
    
  • In spite of the ‘feels like it could go either way’, I have enjoyed walking with God over the past month or two.  I feel like it has been a ‘good time with the two of us’, if I can say that in a way that doesn’t take away from His God-ness.   It’s also helped with the ‘not freaking, keep walking’ motif
  • I was o. ver. whelmed. at people’s love and kindness towards me surrounding the wedding.  SO blessed am I!
  • I hope you are doing well
  • I have kept up with a few people over the past month, but I have also found that when life goes nuts, something has to give and the internet is one area able to ‘give’ more so than other areas
  • I’m looking forward to reading back through some things to see what I’ve missed, and I really like that I have online friends that I can pop in and catch up on what’s important to them even if I’ve been gone
    
  • This was way too long about eighteen minutes ago
  • If you’ve made it this far, give yourself a hug and a healthy smoothie for some lovin’ and a reward
  • Have a *wonderful* weekend
  • Know that I am praying for you

  Of course,
  Deborah
