Wanda inquired how I slept last night. I slept until four, cogitated on the burglary from 4-5, dozed from 5-6 and cogitated some more. I dozed off one more time and finally got up a little before eight. During my first cogitation this morning I wondered if the perps might have unlocked a window for future use so we checked all of them and found none unlocked.
I had some orders to take of this morning but apart from that, I never could get going on anything. I did start a file with pictures, descriptions, values, etc., of my jewelry. I also called the Ott Lite Company. I had to order a new ballast for the lamp and I got a snippy customer service rep. Don’t you just love that!
I had an appointment at 3:30 for Gaye to perm my hair so I’m not all flat on the top for however long that lasts. I stopped at the store and picked up a Lean Cuisine Grilled Chicken Caesar bowl and had that for dinner. By time I was done with that and got ready, it was time to head out for Praise Team rehearsal at church. The sound man didn’t turn up tonight. Hopefully he will be there on Sunday. Debi was there to play the piano so I played keyboard. Jeff said I will be the only keyboard player there next week so that means I’ll have to play the piano. Cindi wants to play one Sunday a month and prefers the second Sunday. I looked through the schedule book and noted when Debi will be gone and if it isn’t a Cindi Sunday, then I’ll need to play.
I also got the schedule in the mail today for Fort Worden Knitter’s Retreat. So I have to decide which days I want to go. You can do Fri & Sat, Thurs – Sat or Wed – Sat. I don’t know that I want to do four nights, so will talk to Bill and pick one of the other options.
As I was driving to church tonight I remembered that my mother’s cameo brooch was in the jewelry case. Bill just realized that the burglars stole his briefcase will all photos from grandparents, Vietnam, Dawn’s baby pictures and other family stuff through the 70’s. Something else they will just toss….or have already. Now he really IS angry! But as he said, "It just goes to show it doesn’t pay to get too attached to things.”
Following are the words of a song we did at rehearsal tonight. I thought of Clint when I read the words and, of course, that brought an ache to my heart, especially on top of this current mess.
I Can Trust My God
I can trust my God
Though I walk through the fire.
I can trust my God
Though waters overflow.
When I close my eyes
I know He is there.
And I can case on Him
The full weight of my care.
For I know, yes I know
He works all for my good.
Oh I know, yes I know
He works all for my good.
And I would not change
All the pain if I could,
For I know, yes, I know
He works all, He works all for my good.
