Ya know...I kinda get the idea of how some of the Israelites must've felt at the Red Sea with Pharaoh's army coming down on them. OVERWHELMED. We cleaned a bit over the weekend...and did shopping...and of course I didn't get any sleep last night because my hip was hurting so damn bad I couldn't get comfortable. Then the drive in today, and dammit I just can't take it anymore. I mean, really! If we have to move we have to, at minimum , replace the fence around our property. That's going to cost a LOT, and I have no idea where it's coming from. And now of course taxes are coming due and we might or might NOT owe the feds anything, depending on what I can find out about our Property Tax - but we certainly will owe the STATE, because I just found out that my Short-Term Disability didn't take out any state taxes whatsofreakingever, so we'll owe the state at least $200. PLUS we'll have to paint, and I hope to God that we can get the carpets half...
This blog gets awfully whiney a lot of the time, so I thought I'd interject with some humor - and the Gospel. Just to remind myself that THIS is what's important.
And again we come to Lent. Interesting discussion on the radio today - Kudos to them for actually discussing Lent, and what it means, the reason behind the Imposition of Ashes on Ash Wednesday, and how we're all sinners. Unfortunately, no Gospel message. However, since it was a news show on TV, I have to give them props for at least discussing Christianity, frankly. And they were incredibly open about it. So...they of course got around to the discussion of "giving up stuff for Lent" (and the reasons behind THAT.) And, once again, I'm going to try to "take up" something for Lent instead. I'm going to try to stick with the Weight Watchers program and actually follow it and not just pig out because I can, or I want to. Maybe this time it'll stick. Maybe....maybe.....maybe....
