Hump Day

Well, with Carolyn home Sunday night after 12 days in Scotland, life is slowly getting back to our kitchen-less "normal". Carolyn is still shifting time zones about three or four a day and is probably feeling the need to do too much too fast. Yesterday, she was just worn out and had to fight off a headache with the good kind of drugs.

Today she took in Gracie, our cat, to the vet to check out some scabs and found she has fleas, an infection, etc. After that bill, I'm thinking of putting Gracie on my group insurance plan! But hopefully, she'll be feeling a bit better.

Tomorrow we're going to start up our couples Bible study with a dinner out (a potluck that changed when we knew that no appliances would be operational in our kitchen) and a discussion of what we'd like to study/discuss this "semester". It's likely to be more relational as our last study was led by our own "Bible Answer Man" and there is a certain level of trepidation about following in his footsteps - sort of like being called up to the major leagues from little league. Any suggestions on topics, studies or authors?

As far as the kitchen is going, we figured out that with the new drywall, et al, they forgot to leave a register in the kitchen for air conditioning/heating. I talked with the contractor today and he says they'll be able to fix that without too much difficulty (hurrah)! Our cooktop, the last of the appliances is to arrive today, and after the electrician sets up the plugs, we should start to see appliances installed by the end of this week. Patience, patience.

Carolyn came home with a bunch of info on weight watchers from Ashley and I think we will both be counting points soon. She'll have to update me on what's allowed and how many points in a glass of Merlot and how big a slice of chocolate cake can I consume.

So much for our current events.
