What a bizarre week. Tuesday's sudden snow/ice brought Atlanta to a standstill. Thankfully I was already at home curled up in a chair. The next 2 days were some of the most productive I've had in a while. I did laundry, cleaned the house then started sorting stuff from the cedar chest and linen closet. It was relaxing, unrushed and gave me a feeling of accomplishment. The 'I'm bored' child didn't even dampen my desire to work. Those kinds of days seem so rare to me.
I was also coming from a very successful visit to my general practitioner. Because of my recent gluten and milk free diet, my cholesterol dropped from 192 to 138. I was amazed and pleased that my doctor was happy with the changes. He told me to keep up the good work.
Going back to work on Friday was tough, especially when I discovered I had caused a programming problem a couple weeks before. I've thought about it a lot and I have an idea on how I can solve it when I return on Monday. So I'm at least a little hopeful.
Saturday turned out to be a great day because I got to spend it alone with my 13 year old. I sorted through stuff in his room while he took apart a nerf gun and an old DVD player - just to see what was there. It's times like that when kids will actual talk to you, always a good thing.
As this week is coming to an end, I am very thankful for my unexpected time at home and the way things worked out for a very special week.
II Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
