We are a little stressed now. Well at least I am. I have several matters at work I need to attend to, our purchase settlement in this Thursday and I have a few items to attend to on that front as well, and the moving details need to be re-confirmed again.
On top of that, the wife was doing a little gardening on Saturday and her middle finger pricked by a thorn from a rose bush. It swelled a little bit on Saturday night and yesterday we went to a doctor who told her not to worry, the thing would “exit on it own”. Sounds nonsensical of course, but hey, he’s the doctor! That of course did us no good – wasted an hour and $40, and for nothing! This morning the wound didn’t seem any worse, so maybe it’d come to nothing.
Also, this is kiddo’s second week of school holidays and we have done nothing for her. Yesterday we went for lunch with some church friends and that was good, and after that we took a walk together (all 3 of us) so that she’d be familiar with the route to the new house.
I guess the garage sale was a little exciting for her – she sold quite a few of her toys although I found the exercise tiring and not very efficient, it gave her something to do and look forward to. The money raised was all hers (a grand total of $63…!!) and she tithed on Sunday! We’re very proud of her on that matter.
Just to keep things in perspective – I just received an email from my brother asking if we were affected by the cyclone which hit northern Queensland earlier today. He just read a news item saying a cyclone hit Australia so he wondered if Melbourne was affected. Upheavals of weather, economy and diseases seem to prevail these days. Maybe something’s cooking. Maybe the world is changing in a way which would affect us all in a permanent way. Stressed with my current situation? Could be worse I guess…
