Friday evening and I'm relaxing on the sofa in my jammies with my laptop, getting some work done and then going to veg out watching tv with Gus, the dog.
It's my last night with Gus. We've had a good week. He has mostly slept in another room, so I have been able to sleep better without his very loud snoring. He's been trying to teach me to fetch for him. He likes to play a lot. And he likes to cuddle. He's a pretty good dog.
I have a couple of projects to work on this weekend to be ready for Sunday, but they will be a pleasure to do, since I can stay in and concentrate on them. No major running around for me this weekend. Just going home Saturday and then Church and a Nic Mission Team meeting on Sunday.
I'll be spending the next week getting ready to leave for Nic on the 17th. I can't believe it's almost time! I'm excited to get down there. I know those 7 weeks will go by really fast. I plan to enjoy every minute of it. It's hard to realize that when I come back, it will already be January.
It will be nice to spend time with Deanna this next week. As soon as she got back from 6 weeks in Las Vegas, I was already doggie/house-sitting. We haven't spent much time together in the last few months. Next week will be a nice change for that.
I was able to check off a few more projects this week. I feel like I'm untieing strings from my arms as I finish up or pass on projects. I was blessed to be able to spend some time with Shirley and Elizabeth at the Food Pantry today.
Kesha is going to start working with Cuerpo Vivo, giving accounting support. We took her to lunch after our meeting yesterday. We joke that we enjoy eating even more than others since we are Baptists AND Hispanic. It's all about relationships and fellowship!
Today, I went with Glenda and Jennifer to visitation for Miss Wilma from church. Her daughter, Brenda is a good friend and special person. I hadn't seen Miss Wilma since I had gotten back from NYC, since she was in a nursing home for a while. But when I worked at the church full-time, she came in when Brenda worked. She loved to go to the Salvation Army store and buy little knick-knacks and bring them to me. She was a special lady. Very strong emotions in all directions and warmly remembered by many. I just think of her running around Heaven and entertaining everyone.
My sister, Pam, met with a surgeon this week. They think that the cancer was found really early. She meets with a radiology specialist and an oncologist next week. Then they will schedule the surgery. She has been receiving lots of emails from my friends. I pray that she will see the love of Christ in every contact from my Christian friends. I pray that she will find Christ through this journey.
Gus is trying to entice me to play with him by bringing all his toys to me, one at a time. Guess I should pay some attention to him for now. After all, it's our last night to hang out together for a while. It's been a blessing.
