Status Report: June
Wednesday, June 2, 2010 at 10:32AM 
It’s that time again—the time when I copy Lisa and post a status report.
Sitting…I wish I could tell you I’m sitting out on the front porch enjoying the summer sunshine. Yesterday I might have been out there, but today I’m at the dining room table/desk again. There’s no sunshine right now and I put a sweater on to water the garden this morning.
Drinking…hot chocolate. I needed something hot and creamy to warm my bones and I’d rather die than put anything creamy in my coffee.
Wondering…what it would be like to go through some sort of major illness and treatment for it while alone.
Surveying…the landscape and noting how good the yard looks after my son’s mowing job. First mow of the year, by the way. Last night, I heard running mowers everywhere. Everyone in the neighbourhood seemed to be out doing that first mow all at the same time.
Enjoying…my May Day tree in bloom and thinking that I really must stop to look at it more often because the blooms won’t last much longer.
Reading…Always Ready by Greg Bahnsen. Yes, same book as last month. In my defense, I’ve been very busy with raking, tilling, and planting and watering. And washing windows, hanging screens, and putting out deck furniture.
Also reading…Romans by Paul. I love that book, but it’s not an easy read.
Painting…nothing. Although I have had “paint the living room ceiling” on my to-do list since April. This summer, I also plan to paint the dining room and as much first floor trim as I can. Outdoors, I plan to paint the railings on the back deck and touch up some of the deck floor paint. And I might paint a few doors, including the garage door.
Anticipating…the wedding.
Thinking…about how I should prepare for a difficult task I’m going to do tomorrow. What should I bring? What should I say? Praying for guidance—for help. I’m asking for the ability to do something well that isn’t one of my natural gifts. And that’s really all I can say about that.
Breaking…dishes and glassware. Really. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to sweep glass up off the kitchen floor in the past month. Thankfully, it isn’t just me doing the dropping or I’d start to worry.

I hope your difficult task gets done and that you are able to do it well!
I hope you were granted the guidance you sought!
And I love the graphic!!!!
I love these status reports. Last month I copied the categories with the intent to do one myself... but haven't so far. When's the wedding?
Violet,
The wedding is July 24th. Less than two months away.
