There Is A God!

What are you talking about?  Of course there is a God.  

But sometimes, when things are going not so well, it's easy to lose sight of him.  To wonder where he is in all of this.  Is he still there?  Does he even still care?

Then he sends you a little nudge, as if to say, "Yes, I'm still here, and I still love you."  Sometimes it's little things that wouldn't mean anything to anyone but me --  like sending a tree guy right to my house so that's one less phone call I need to make.  Or being able to get the lawn mower started on the first try. 

Other times, he slaps you right upside the head.

I walked into work this morning, and the plant was all abuzz with the news.  The Human Resources Director from Hell had been fired yesterday!  Hallelujah praise the lord!

I just hope the next one they hire isn't bat guano crazy like the last three have been. 

In other news, I hadn't planned on mowing when I got home.  I was just going to go out to get the model number so I could order that new part I need, when on a whim, I decided to try to crank it up.  Alas, on the second pull of the starter rope, it caught.  

Bummer.

But since it started, I wasn't going to waste the effort, so I mowed.  Just the front and side yards, i.e. the public areas.  I didn't mow the back, and probably won't until the landscaper comes back to finish the job.   I don't know when that will be, because yes, it's supposed to storm again this weekend.  

Sigh.  

We just can't catch a break, can we?  And as if that weren't enough, we have both Saharan Dust and Canadian wildfire smoke floating around...

In a bit of better news, there has been knitting happening.  

 This one for the Seaman's Church Institute.  My numbers are really down this year.  

I'd better get on the ball.
