Today began the first bell practice for the year 2012. As usual many of the ding-a-lings were not there but we do have new music to learn and it's not really that hard. We will be losing a bell ringer at the end of the school year so I guess we need to start recruiting now. Only need to count to 4 with a few "and", "a", "da" thrown in every now and then and we could make you a bell ringer.
At work I actually started feeling like I'm making progress. Will need to test out new script and setup on the system and then we can begin testing and get ready for a new download. I'm sure it's going to be the first of many to come before we have a stable product. I do feel guilty when I'm not logging new calls, but there is no progress being made on those who are patiently (for the most part) waiting on their call back. I feel I have let so many of our clients down, but you can only do so much and we are all working very hard. Enough of that, on to more joyful and uplifting thinking.
Dee called today and she has started dilating. Hopefully this weekend Nadia will be here for her family to love on. Hoping to get Taiyler for the weekend since it's been so long since I've seen her. Can't wait to see how she will be with her new baby sister. She is such a caring child but I know she can have a streak in her that could add upheaval around the house.
Jan fell asleep on the floor today. Before leaving to go to church wanted to make sure she was up so if Djuna came home and saw her laying there she would freak out thinking something was wrong. It took us a while to get her back in her chair. We first had to get her to the stool, baby steps so she didn't have to rise up so far risking putting weight on her leg or her arms giving out.
Tomorrow Jan is having a friend come down for a visit before Jan goes to the doctor Friday to find out what they want to do with her leg and before Sherry leaves on Sunday to be at MD Anderson Hospital with Jill and Pam where Jill will get her stem cell transplant. Praying that this helps with the cancer cells and destroys them. Not sure of all the details but it looks like Jill will be there 4 months. Guess they have to keep her in ICU or quarantine so she doesn't get any germs once they destroy her bone marrow or stem cells or what ever they do in the process. Prayers for them too.
I finally started reading a new book I got by Diana Gabaldon called The Scottish Prisoner. It's part of Diana's books relating to a Scotsman who is married to a woman who can travel through time. Very interesting books and I'm looking forward to reading about and exploring some of the other characters in her books with this one. Will keep you posted on how it goes.
Still doing my nightly Upper Room devotional. Some of the scriptures go with the stories but some seem to be a far stretch with the correlation. Today's theme is Controlled by the Spirit. It should be a good one. The thought for today is "Relying on the Holy Spirit can lower our boiling point." This is a good one especially as this week progresses.
It's getting late and even though I report to work tomorrow at 11:00 am, I will probably go in early and do the update testing so we can push it out the door.
Blessings to all who might eventually read this. ME
