Status Report: March
Sunday, March 4, 2012 at 9:08PM Sitting…on the couch in the living room with a blanket over my lap.
Eating…a bowl of the soup my oldest daughter made. She’s a wonderful cook and she makes most things without a recipe. This soup has various kinds of dried beans, sausage, tomatoes, zucchini, carrots and more that I don’t recognize. I have to eat only soft foods after my dental surgery yesterday—I had a bone graft in preparation for an implant—and I have something to eat with each of the prescription meds (painkiller, antibiotic, and a steriod) I take a various times throughout the day. All that to say I’m thankful for the soup. It fits the bill and tastes good.
Waiting…for spring. I must admit, however, that the weather we’ve had lately is winter at it’s very best.
Liking…that I looked good enough (no swelling) and felt good enough (no pain) to go to church this morning. And thankful for that, too.
Thinking…about the week ahead and the projects I want to work on. First on the list: I’m going to put a coat or three of rubbed polyurethane on the coffee table I painted last week. Then there’s spring cleaning. I just can’t bring myself to do a big weeklong, all day, every day cleaning like my own mother did. Nope, I’d rather break it up into smaller bits and do a couple tasks a week. (And yes, that does make things drag out forever. Oh well.) I also want to make a couple of pillow covers for the couch. Planned for the blog: a review of Eighteen Words by J. I. Packer.
Reading…not much lately. I think I have a minor case of reader’s block. Tomorrow I’m going to put “read something” on my daily to-do list to see if that works.
Anticipating…tomorrow, and eagerly. I shall be looking after the grandbaby for a while. She is, you know, the cutest baby in the whole wide world.
Heading…to bed soon. If I can make it up from the couch. My son wants me to go so he can finish watching this week’s episode of The Walking Dead. I am too delicate a flower for such things.
Wishing…you all a goodnight. And a good March.
Copying…Lisa again.

Your dental work sounds complex and potentially painful. Hope it goes well!
I'm glad your bone graft is done and you feel well enough to go to eat soup and go to church. I hope the rest of the implant goes as well.
Spring cleaning? I guess it's getting to be that time of year. I always love when it's done!
