      and so it goes ...

      the summer I mean...
      * my car is dead, died four times in the last three weeks, always far from home ...
      * I'm driving birding dad's car, which has no A/C, spoiled I am ...
      * There would not be enough time in a 12 day week to accomplish all that seems to be required of me at my job in a single week ....
      * I have some weird stomach ailment which has me feeling sick all the time, especially when I eat ...
      * money is somehow extremely scarce the past few weeks causing a real dilemma given the car issue and given a 13-year-old who believes that summer is for doing expensive stuff and spending lots of $$$$
      THAT SAID .....
      * had a great trip to the NJ aquarium last week with all the grandkids (thanks to #1 step-daughter's season pass),
      * spent a delightful day at a good friends house and pool on Sunday afternoon, very impromptu, burgers and dogs and sun and water and pool volleyball
      * the house has A/C, and work is as cold as a meat locker, so I can beat the intense heat
      * got a doctor's apt for tomorrow AM, so perhaps I will be able to eat soon after all!

      God takes care of us after all.

      To be outspoken when truth is under attack, when charity is being bruised, or when important issues of life are at stake is a good and courageous thing. To be outspoken when nothing is at stake except the feelings of someone else is a small and contemptible thing. ~ Lawrence G. Lovasik (The Hidden Power of Kindness)
