mixing it up a bit

I am drinking french press coffee this morning.  Yesterday too.  Because, I ordered a pound of french roast ground for espresso pump and I opened the bag and it was ground for french press.  This happens at least once every 6 months.   I don't check the bag in the store,  I just assume I am going to get what I ask for.  Sometimes they get confused.  French Roast = French Press.  I can see it.  Now,  I could regrind it finer which is what I usually do, but this time I am choosing to just drink it.  French press coffee is what we drink when we are camping.  It has a different taste.  It does not stay hot.  But I am changing things up. 

Did I tell you I am on holidays in 5 working days. 

Thursdays are my brutal day.  Thursdays I find tiring and challenging and LONG.   Today I was up at 5am so it will be even longer.    Once I get Thursday done and in the can, I can sense the weekend and all is right with the world.  

Yesterday was quite the day.   A bombshell exploded at work... not literally but changes that will impact everyone are in the works.  It is completely crazy.  My head was spinning.  Then a personal bombshell goes off - not literally - but you know small crisis on the home front... which then takes the whole work/ job bombshell and puts in on a shelf because it is just a job... and we are talking family.  It is all going to be fine but I was exhausted at the end of the day.  I am still feeling empty.  It is a good thing I am going on vacation.  Some space and time will be good.

I ate some pizza last night and I am not feeling so good.  Back to gluten free for the next few days.

I was on the phone outside on the deck last night and was attacked by mosquitos.  I could feel them chomping at me but I needed to finish my conversation.  Sacrifices must be made.

We have a grey sky for the first time in many, many days and I am OK with it.

Lord have mercy. It is hard not to let these things destroy our peace; I sympathise. Hugs!

Rugby, eh? My guy is contemplating not doing football and doing fall baseball instead. I don't know,he's made the commitment, these decisions as a parent are hard for me...

My Dh loves French Press coffee, he makes it on Sunday morning while I'm at church. Hope today goes well, and that it is a smoother less bombshell day. Hugs and prayers.

and the battle rages on.

we must take refuge somewhere, sometime together. for at least an evening. I am thinking some pinot grigio and conversation and laughter would be some good salve for the soul.
