Status Report: July
Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 11:05AM 
Sitting…on the couch in the living room.
Drinking…nothing. I had my coffee earlier. I am eating a bowl of raisen bran for breakfast, though.
Missing…youngest son, who is gone for a week. He’s visiting his sister and shopping for a suit for the wedding in a few weeks.
Returning…to my trim painting job in the living room.
Reading…Always Ready by Greg Bahnsen. You’re tired of seeing it listed in my status reports, aren’t you?
Also reading…40 Questions about Interpreting the Bible by Robert L. Plummer.
Loving…that the backyard fence is fixed. Also loving that daughter is taking the dogs for a run so I don’t have to walk them today.
Pretending…I have nothing on my to-do list today. Unfortunately, pretending doesn’t make it so.
Wondering…if hot summer temperatures will ever come this year. Will I ever need to use my fan?
Watching…the robins in the garden. The recent rain has brought the tasty and nutritious earthworms to the surface.
Anticipating…the wedding. What else?
Stressing…a little over what to wear to the wedding. I want to get a new dress, which I want to be dressy, but not so dressy that I can’t wear it frequently after the wedding. I love wearing brown in the summer when I am tanned, but I’m wondering if brown is right for a morning wedding in the summer.
Praying…for a few people I know who are being treated for cancer.
Remembering…that there were other years when the potato plants weren’t all up by July 1 and I still had a big harvest.
Realizing…that it’s hard for one person to keep up with the upkeep of a big old home like mine. I love this place, but it’s wearing me out.

Today I am pretending there is nothing on my to-do list either. How long can the pretense last, I wonder?
Trim painting is tedious!
