Aging

My sister texted me – her husband, my brother in law, drove himself to ER for the same issue that occurred over a year ago. His leg lost strength. Last time they diagnosed it as a blood clot. And he missed my son’s wedding. Now they are doing more tests. He’s been waiting for 5 hours! If he’s not sick before he’s certainly sick now! Please, if you can avoid it, stay away from Kaiser Baldwin Park. If anything happens to me, take me to Kaiser Anaheim ER.

I’ve not felt this emotional watching an ultrasound of a baby before today.

When ultrasounds were taken when my children were in utero, it was quite matter of fact. I already felt the baby, so listening to the heartbeat from the ultrasound was not a surprise. It was amazing but I don’t remember it being emotional.

Sunday fun

Sunday is usually a good day. Usually tiring, usually satisfying. Today was one of those. It was a good Sunday.

Preached in Children Worship on praying for our leaders, going against the grain of complaining about our government leaders.

Good convos with random people, one in particular. Gave her some advice about her daughter that I will follow up on.

My life

Today is my birthday :) Our family do not make a big deal about birthdays.

I have a pessimistic view on aging. I don’t want to get old and be a grouch and be slow and irrelevant, and complain about young people’s loud music, and complain about how my knees hurt, and I need help…

Pastors retreat

It’s all good on paper. And even if all our plans come to fruition, it’s not going to be any changes in the church that you can…

My siblings

I’ve heard stories of adult siblings who do not get along, I’m blessed I’m not in one of those families. My siblings and I met up for lunch today, we had a great time chatting. I turned my brother on to Facebook marketplace. He’s been buying/selling on Offer Up. KonMari inspires us to sell, but then once you’re on the site, you are tempted to buy it all back! Well, my brother has not heard of “spark joy”. Which rock has he been hiding under haha!

Perspectives

Many years ago I wanted to take Perspectives. But I didn’t want to do the work required.

Now I’m ready. Today’s class was great. Unfortunately I missed the last hour to attend a wedding. And the wedding of Stephanie and Tyler was great too.

A great day overall. Thankful for our church and our friends.
