Thursday (Wednesday )Thirteen

1. My "Pay it Forward" Ladies, I will be tending to those tasks soon. Thank you for your patience and forbearance as I too have full tasks tended too over this busy season.
2. It is a wonderful thing to be rested. We flipped our mattress and also stripped the linens to mattress. Then replaced the allergen sack and made the bed a fresh. We had fun as we shook the down comforter so the feathers are more even. Wow I had a great sleep
3. I sit in the early morning quiet hour. I got into the word I Corinthians it was good to think about all that I am and have to offer in this life is because God choose to confound the world with the simple .
4. My husband is off to work. We have a month with "forced" no overtime. (the CRS thing). I have a regular shift today. It is a delight to see that my Beloved has to tell his boss (who has not given him a raise in 3 years!) that he has to slow the O. T. for 4 weeks, because he has a son who has special medical needs and we are losing our medical access for those needs if we do overtime right now. I hope that the fellow does not penalize Beloved. Maybe this man might just be startled to see what my husband has been doing all these years as he has been giving such good service to the company.
5. No overtime for Beloved for 4 weeks! That means he will be home 2 1/2 hours sooner. Meal times in the evenings and a break from all the heavy lifting because he will be here to help more. I have been pulling 14 hour days all last quarter. Today will be nice to get tasks done with some help at the end of my day. This will be a way to get caught up around the estate in the next few weeks. Maybe I can get things off from over my head. A great way to start the new year.
6. Without the OT I will have to really use what I have in freezer. This is a great motivator to get the inventory done!
7. Dash wants a full length brown coat. Well I have a hoodie cut out for him, but I see there is a large fold of some nice brown and I have a fusible brown lining. So maybe I might be making a coat. I thought I could use a rob pattern. I think it is a star wars LUKE coat he is wanting.
8. I have such wonderful abundance of fabrics that have been given to me. I invested in a lot too when the fabric store shut down. It is so cool to not need to go buy anything.
9. I told Beloved that God has ways of meeting our needs that are different than just using money. His watch battery died. With his watch being over 10 years old I think...I told him to ask God for a watch you never know how he might just have someone walk up to you with a watch.
10. It is so quiet and peaceful right now.7:15 a.m. silent house. Except for the maid (the clothes washer) is working.
11. It really is so important for us to get good rest.
12. I just realized it is not Thursday ! ha!
13. I have a lot of clean laundry to fold and a lot of dirty laundry to go though the machines.
