A Week in the Life: Wednesday

Well, since our weekends tend to be busy, so our day off tends to be mid week.  That was the case today.  Although honestly I did intend to get a few things today.

Morning Prayers, breakfast, watched the news, then went for my run.

Mark had left for his morning class. 


On my runs I just do laps around our complex, past the security guards doing their daily drill, the ladies sitting and knitting, the grandparents pushing their grandkids in strollers or walking them to school, green or red peppers drying in the sun.  Normal life. 


Once I was back home I checked email.  While doing that Elyse came online for us to chat for a while.  We usually manage to chat once a week, but we never know when it will be so I have to be flexible when she gets on.  She is currently wrapping up her last week of being a camp counselor for the summer.  We are working on her being able to start classes for her last year at Elim.  But things are still up in the air as to that.  It has been causing us a bit of stress.  I was getting kind of worked up as we talked about that.  Seth came out of his room and saw that I was upset and gave me a big hug and told me everything was going to be ok.  What a great kid.

Just after lunch Seth headed off to the children's home he helps at from time to time.

After Mark got home from class he had to pick up some books for one of the classes he will be teaching later this week.  We decided to make the most of it, get out of the house and have a bit of a break together.  So we doubled on the electric bike to the other side of town and picked up the books.  Bought a couple of slushy type drinks and found a place to sit and just talked and read together for a little while and then headed home.

By the time we got home Seth was back and we settled in to working on supper.  This proved a bit tricky, perhaps because of something I ate, I started having stomach "issues", which involved me dashing to the bathroom periodically.  Mark did most of the cooking this time around. 

We have been doing some counseling by email with a very close friend so we spent some time working together on an email for them. 

Also, somewhere in the course of the day I set up a couple of meetings for later this week one for a member care situation and one for a Micro Lending project I am serving as a Coach for here.

Feeling a bit drained because of my stomach issues so I'm going to chill for the rest of the evening.    Glad I got my run in before this hit.

Cheers.
