Bits and Pieces, aka I got nuthin’

It’s Monday – difficult enough to put together a single sentence (does “Coffee – now!” count as a sentence?) much less coherent thoughts. So little bits…

A young man at church has received invitations from all four service academies. He and his parents visited the Naval Academy at Annapolis last weekend. If all goes well, that would be his first choice. His high school also has some sort of flight instruction internship; he did his first solo flight last week and will take his FAA exam tomorrow.
*Any mangling of terminology or fact in this snippet is mine – not my field, but very proud of him!

The notebook with my memory verses turned up, right where I put it so I wouldn’t forget where it was, which place I couldn’t remember. I need serious help.

If a woman was madly waving at you from the car next to you at the stoplight, would you roll your window down to see what the fuss was about? In this case, I was the wavee rather than the waver; apparently, my driver’s side brake light is out, and she wanted to let me know. There are still nice people around, even if they look at first glance like raving lunatics.

Our 5:45 a.m. Bible study has its Christmas event Thursday morning. The overnight low Wednesday night? Forecast says zero. Would someone like to come and start my car for me at around 5:15 and let me know when it gets warm? Thanks.

I’m considering throwing myself a birthday party, as this is a milestone year. Appetizers and desserts, with guests bringing some of the grub. Open house style – come and go during a four hour window. Presents optional. Those of you who know me IRL, what do you think? Sat. Jan 10th, most likely. On the other hand, going out and taking advantage of the senior discount at Meyer’s is probably less of a hassle.

The next two weeks are busy, not only because of the holidays, but as I’m trying to get things done at work so I can actually enjoy my two weeks off without having to think at all about the office. We’ll see if I can pull that off, as it isn’t entirely in my control. I hate that.

A 36 hour winter storm warning starts tonight at 6 p.m. - they say from 3" to 12" of snow, preceded by freezing rain and followed by very cold temps- they just don't know how much actual snow we'll get. Gee, thanks. I have a doctor appointment (doctor's office is twenty minutes from my office, 'way on the other side of town) tomorrow afternoon. Do I change the day/time or not?
