today while the blossoms still cling to the vine

I’ll taste your strawberries and drink your sweet wine. A million tomorrows may all fade away, ‘er I forget all the joy that is mine;

Today…lyrics just live as part of me. I thank the gods for the songs in my heart.

Today I found a set of papers Steve was supposed to sign that haven’t been faxed to BOA. So I’ve gathered hard copies of everything and we’ll FedEx them today. I really don’t expect them to make any difference. In a way, I think we are both looking forward to a move where ever it takes us. The plan is to rent a storage shed and pack if BOA says NO again. That way, if Don buys the house, we can clean and be out so he can rent it, or sell it – whatever he chooses, and we can be ready to go when it’s time. Geoffrey’s not a bit happy about this but we knew he wouldn’t be. Changing High School’s is hard. He’s just planning to stay no matter what and going about business as usual.

I have a nerve study at the pain management Dr tomorrow after work. I don’t know what that entails.

I need to cash my checks and buy a filter for Dr Kamdar’s aquarium. She wants a list for setting up a terrarium – I made a list for her. We need to sit down and discuss her theme and plant choice.

I’m starting to be ready to open my seed catalogs. I’ve decided to plant carrots in old soda bottles for the heck of it. We are going to use our pots and wait till early may to actually put anything in the dirt. 

I have 3 knitting books to read (peruse), a shawl and arm warmers to make for pay for Dr Kamdar, and a nautical baby blanket to make for Misty that she has already given me $30 advance on. I need to work fast.

Today though, I’m knitting. I need a down day. Dinner is partially cooked. I cut up chicken and onion last night and cooked and seasoned it, and cooked spinach. Tonight, I’ll cube and cook potatoes, make a sauce, mix everything together and add cheese. It’ll do. EBT reloads tomorrow. I’ll make our cream cheese pastry for desert and we’ll have celery sticks with it all. 

Steve is chattering baseball constantly. He’s ready for spring training. I guess that’s about it for today.

About Morning Knits

I believe in and practice positive living. I love YARN, cooking, music, bird watching, herbs, and gardening. I am passionate about YHWH the Elohim of all the earth. I believe it's our responsibility to tend that earth. I basically do my thing in a quiet, amused way. I believe in laughter, and the power of combined prayer. I am a true homebody. I have 6 kids, all home-born and successfully breastfed. They are all grown. I'm the oldest of 9, daughter of a missionary mother who lives in Kenya, and I have a spoiled service dog and 2 rescued cats. Right now, there is balance after yrs of unemployment. My disability was approved due to degenerative discs, fibromyalgia, and obesity. That last is hard to say. I believe we owe it to ourselves to protect our mental health. It's precious and the one thing we can control. I would rather not do my own housework and I talk too much. I bought a house in North Carolina which I ended up leaving for my husband to sell. I'm a two-time caregiver. My husband and I are separated due to stroke complications and personality difficulties. I am in Texas now. The one place on earth I said I'd never go unless Yah moved me there and HERE I AM! G and I are sharing a small apartment and so far, things are going well.
