Monday afternoon

I've spent a great deal of the day today just cleaning and reorganizing. Yesterday I didn't feel well and napped most of the day, but today I seem to have a surge of energy.

I did some crocheting last night and have another project started. I'd like to just use up all the yarns I have on hand in whatever way I can.

I've had videos running in the VCR all day. They are some I've seen several times so I don't have to really just sit and watch them. Listening to them is enough while I work around the house.

I've taken all of Danny's videos and put them into a case I have here. They aren't ones we normally watch but I want to hang on to them until one of the kids decides they might want them.

I've moved all the books into the bedroom in anticipation of getting the room painted and getting the shelves in shape. I want it to be my business center even if I wind up working some outside job. I washed the mini blinds in there yesterday and now need to reinstall them.

I think we'll just have canned soup for supper so there's less mess to deal with after. We have crackers and some various cheeses we can have with the soup, so it ought to be satisfying enough.

Brandon needs to look through Danny's shirts and tee-shirts to see if any more will fit him. What doesn't can be put in with the other clothes I've got stowed. I just hate to see the shirts go to waste if Brandon can get some use out of them, though. One or two pairs of pj bottoms look like Elizabeth could wear them, so I'll see if she wants to try them on.

I thought I had all the laundry done, but managed to gather up enough for one more load before I'm finished with that.

I know it seems like I'm rambling today. Maybe I am. But the regular daily household chores seem to keep me sane right now. I'm not a huge lover of housework, but it's this sort of ordinary activity that makes me feel more secure and at peace.

I would fail both God and my family if I didn't continue in those things the Lord has called me to.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
