Laziness Strikes Again!

 Laziness Strikes Again!

 

Other than the usual filling of water bowls, gathering of eggs, and feeding of dogs, the only exercise today has been the mopping of the kitchen and living room. Just too lazy to want to do laundry or any other occupation connected with housekeeping! Maybe another day next week will see all the usual shtuff getting done.

 

Toasted some Dave’s Killer Bread for toasted pimento cheese sandwiches. Thought there for a minute that the toaster had bitten the dust, but just had not pushed the lever down far enough. We got that toaster when we got married. It has every right to be a bit fussy about working right off the bat. They simply do not make things like that any longer. Sterling mentioned lately something about using an air fryer. Have heard of them and felt it was probably a handy item, but not sure it would be worth messing with when my diet is so simple. Eating this late in the afternoon is probably one of the worst things to do, but don’t plan on an early night anyway. Thompson had me up off and on last night, so a nap today is probably one good reason for staying awake longer than usual. But it really was a good nap!

 

Reading another book based on the first spy rings developed after WWI. It is just amazing to me that some women became spies because no one really thought women would be capable of finding out things and hiding the information. Reading the American history articles posted by Tara Ross on FB has assured me that the women in the Revolutionary War were prime candidates for getting information to our forefathers. In my own family, one of the women who was hiding wounded Confederate soldiers near her home in Traskwood, Arkansas, rode to get bandages and medicine in the nearest city. Stopped on the way back, she pleaded with the soldiers (Yankees) to let her get back so she could feed her baby since her breasts were swollen so big with milk. Her excuse for going was to get food for her family that they had not been able to grow. Somehow, they let her leave, and she was able to unburden those heavy breasts of medicines and bandages. Sneaky ol’ girl.

 

Expecting Sterling and Jacqui tomorrow if all goes well. They spend the night at a place in Seymour, TX that has a café near the “cabin” where they stay. Guess the town has at least that one thing to recommend it. Anyway, look forward to seeing them.

 

The wind has blown today until it has been about enough to make a person yell and stomp. Guess we can be happy that the temperatures were not low enough to frost everything. Think Sunday night the low is expected to be 30. Oh well.

 

Saw that some of the Hamas fighters had surrendered. It seems that Israel has been able to target some of the Hamas leaders that were keeping everything so horrible. Maybe the threat of flooding the tunnels made some progress among the soldiers as well. That would be a scary thought. Still have not heard of any more hostages having been released, however. But having read a strange claim that all the supplies brought into Gaza have gone to the tunnels of Hamas, it seemed not so unusual that some of the Palestinians are very angry at Hamas for taking whatever was brought into Gaza. Simply can’t imagine over two million people being pushed into the southern edge of Gaza!

 

We know that all of the things we see happening around us will affect us in one manner or another, but we also know that God above will protect us and lead us to Him. One minister today spoke about the fact that God pursues us and our children. He wants us for Himself. That is a very comforting thought.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
