FOR TODAY . . . October 21, 2014
Outside my window . . . beautiful blue sky and the temperature is in the 50s. Just doesn't get much better than this.
I am thinking . . . about the impact of physical illness on my mental process. It's amazing how a sinus infection (and meds) can throw my mood into the toilet. So happy to be on the mend, both physically and mentally.
I am thankful . . . that Alan and I had a safe and uneventful day trip to Milan and Dyersburg, TN yesterday. I was a bit concerned about my driving skills considering dizziness it always a sinus infection side effect.
In the kitchen . . . last night was take out from The Chill Spot. There's been a fair amount of takeout lately. I'm hoping to get something actually made for dinner tonight, but schedules are wacky.
I am wearing . . . a giant t-shirt and my flannel robe.
I am creating . . . scarves for Presents with a Purpose. I picked up some clothing patterns yesterday and am going to try my hand at making myself some clothes again.
I am going . . . to therapy and then home to tackle the mess.

I am wondering . . . about metaphysics and the Dreyfus Affair. A sick mind is a wondering mind.
I am reading . . . just finished re-reading Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death by M.C. Beaton. I read this series (or parts of it) when I was working at the Brentwood Library. Last week while I was sick I went back to it as I needed something mindless to read. Now I want to read them all! I just started reading An Officer and a Spy by Robert Harris, hence the interest in the Dreyfus Affair.
I am looking forward to . . . a couple of days at home to strike order around the house. Halloween is 10 days away and I have nary a ghost, goblin, or ghoul decorating my house yet.

I am hearing . . . the lovely quiet. Sometimes I think this is the only time each week that I stop and appreciate the quiet. Answering this prompt makes me stop and recognize the gift that quiet is.
Around the house . . . The new Hoosier is here, and at least temporarily placed. I have a little nook that I use as an office and it's filling with furniture. I need to consider arrangement options.
I am praying . . . for a stop to all the fear mongering in the news and social media. Yes, there are things to be concerned about, but as a Christian I am called to trust in God no matter the situation.
One of my favorite things . . . is having the house back in order. The Lord willing, I will achieve that by the end of the week. It won't be perfect, but it will definitely be better than it currently is!
A few plans for the rest of the week . . . a calmer schedule and health to nest around my house. SouleMama has been talking about nesting as summer changes to autumn. I like that imagery, and I think that's the feeling I'm having as well.

yes, it's that's bad!
I love this! The prompts are awesome! I too am praying for the fear mongering to stop...not only with the EBOLA issues but even with our food supply. The news & social media allows opinions to drown out fact. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed reading your "Musings and Meanderings" today...I think I will make a list of your thoughts and make my own "musings and meanderings" from them! Very thought-provoking - but I gotta get more awake so I can THINK!!! Or,maybe the idea is NOT to think...but had a rough beginning to my day as my alarm didn't go off!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteM.C. Beaton writes under some other names, doesn't she? Like Marion Chesney, maybe? And I totally get the mind-in-the-toilet-feeling when I'm sick--sinus infections are the worst because they drag on forever. Sending prayers for a quick recovery your way :).
ReplyDeleteI love that you shared that photo! I hope you get everything back in order, like you're hoping to!
ReplyDeleteI like the writing prompts and I feel like I got to know you a bit. Don't worry, my kitchen is the same way. Thanks for sharing yours!
