Book Table

September Journaling

1.    My sister’s family has now moved to B.C. My mom is having a hard time with it because she knows it is not likely she’ll see them much at all.

2.    Went to Hamilton for the last time before school starts. They kept the baby home from daycare for us too. Had school for them. They have roller blades now.

3.    I’m down 8 pounds and about five inches. The lack of inflammation is decreasing my pain. Curious which food has caused it; dairy, gluten, alcohol? Super hot day.

4.    Church. Our daughter is back for a concert.

5.    Labour Day. Our headphones I use for recording need repair, so I can’t post any podcasts for a few weeks.

6.    Bloodwork.

7.    Prayer meeting.

8.    Went for a walk down by the lake with my mom. Hearing another pastoral applicant tonight. Decision tomorrow.

9.    Writing.

10.Down 10 pounds and 5 inches. It may not seem like much but if you picture carrying around a bag of potatoes you get it.

11. Church. Back to evening services.

12. I’ll be flying to the Soo for my reunion. I hate flying.

13. Went to watch a soccer game this evening of a young boy in our church.

14. Writing.

15.Returned to Bible study today; the books of Hosea, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah.

16. Telephone appointment with my mom’s doctor.

17. Down 12 pounds and 8 inches. Slow and steady; at least I won’t have loose skin from rapid weight loss.

18. Church.

19. Chiro and massage.

20. Pain clinic for back injections.

21. Our daughter is back from Ottawa again.

22. Bible study. A new woman joined us.

23. Scrambling to write because I have a busy weekend. I posted my podcast.

24. At Toronto Baptist Seminary which is having special lectures. So I travelled downtown with my daughter who helped me set up my book table. I sold five books and gave a few away. It was an exhausting day though because then there was bad traffic and I didn’t eat until three o’clock and then had my nap after. But I’m glad I went and the preaching was incredible.

25. Church today. The men are away at their retreat which my husband organized. Then in the late afternoon we went to the ordination service of a friend of ours. So encouraging to see.

26. Writing for my Bible study Thursday.

27. Hair highlights and cut so I can look younger for my upcoming high school reunion.

28. More writing.

29. Bible study.

30. Mom’s medical appointment by telephone. Trying to keep up with at least one podcast episode per week while I’m teaching, too. I basically write three theological papers per week. Grandkids coming for the night.
