A Life Uncommon

Outside my window...The sun is shining and the chickens are quiet. The yard is still . The dogs are outside
I am thinking...Wow what a start to my day...While walking around the block I came across the cluster mail boxes...they had been broken into and all the mail for myself and all of my neighbors had been stolen. Calling the police, the bank more than once, the credit card company, the credit reporting companies , the phone service, the Utilities and my husband a few times. I have used up all of my time. It was so difficult to locate secure phone numbers that I walked to the post a third time. A note that the police had been called and then a second note left for my neighbors to tell them the phone numbers.
All that was left were two small papers in the boxes, one had my name on it and one was an advertisement with beloveds name on it. That advertisement had a poem on it about PERSEVERANCE! ha!
I am thankful for...Not having any other credit cards. All these many years I have torn up every scrap that had our name and address. We have been kept safe. The person who stole my mail left a medical notice in the box. That seemed a bit caring
From the learning rooms...(if this applies) I need to review the art masters to give the presentation (4) tomorrow. I want to study making tamales. Research the information on baking bread from my new sour dough starter.
From the kitchen...Dishes howl at me to come and tend them
I am wearing...Jeans and a sweat shirt of my husbands. Shoes with out sox. This is first I have stopped from taking the kids to the buss stop at 8 a.m.
I am creating...A garden, need to do the nxt 4x4 patch for cucumbers and lettuces.
I am going...to stay at home, tend to my home and chores.
I am reading...Nothing in particular, yet constant references searches and gardening tips.
I am hoping...Nothing more comes of the mail theft. We were the main ones that had mail in our box.
I am hearing...A moment of silence again as the chickens had begun to fuss a lot. now they stopped.
Around the house...Laundry to fold in the living room, more boxes to unpack and pictures to hang.
One of my favorite things...homed cooked meals for my family, picking those foods from my own garden.
A few plans for the rest of the week: Tomorrow I go to the neuroligst to review the findings so far on the mir's and the EEG's and blood work.
Lots of foods to be prepared and time with the elementary kids on Wen. to assist those kids who have a struggle.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
