Nice How God Worked That Out!

[linaewen]

I am unexpectedly able to stay home today -- all day!  Nice, because I really needed to be allowed to be home sick today.  ;-)  Yes, I have been sick lately -- my DH gave me his bad cold, and I've been limping along feeling vaguely miserable as I cope with my own personal version of said cold.  I'm moving along towards the end of my illness now, so that I'm not miserable all the time --  but a day where I don't have to go out is just the thing I needed.  I normally have to lead a Bible study on Tuesdays, and I was just wondering yesterday if I would be able to manage it, when a friend called and let me know that hardly anyone can come tomorrow, so I jumped at the chance to cancel.  I made arrangements for any language students who come looking for me to be told to come back tomorrow, so I'm free of that responsibility, too.  So I'm home -- and thankful for it.  Yay!

I'm going to try not to loaf too much, though.  I've already got a long list of things I would really, really like to accomplish today.  So I'm working on that, but also taking advantage of being home to rest when I feel like it.  I work until I feel like sitting down, which is a good way to spend the day.

I think I'll use my sleepyhead icon for this post because taking a nap is also on my list of things to do!  :-D  Naps should always be on the list of things to do, but one hardly ever thinks of it as important unless one is sick.  But I'm planning one today for sure.

It's a nice sunny day out there today, though it's not warm and sunny.  But it's nice to look out from the (vaguely) warm apartment and see bright sun and bright blue sky.

We head to Wisconsin for a long weekend sometime tomorrow.  The time depends on when we get free from our duties here.  We will join the throng of people driving home for Thanksgiving -- good thing we don't have all that far to go.  The DS managed to work it so he only works a few hours on Thanksgiving, and then has the rest of the weekend off, so when he's free we can drive off to my sister's, where we are all gathering for the Thanksgiving meal.  I'm looking forward to it!

if you find things arranged to allow you to actually have a day of rest, then who do you thank for that...yes, HIM, and that is His way of telling you to just rest and recover as you are no good to anyone if you get sicker or worse.

so....

Rest.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Indeed, that's what I was thinking, too. God knew I needed a quiet day to myself. I changed the subject of this post accordingly. ;-)

I am resting, and thankful for it. Hope you have a restful Thanksgiving yourself!

I'll be with family and friends in Sacramento
Wednesday to Sunday. I 'll pop in here during that time.
I am giving thanks now and evermore for friends like you.
All Gods Blessings for you and yours.

Naps are highly under-rated. I love it when I have everything done and have time to snooze for an hour on a Sunday afternoon.

Do take care of yourself so you can really shake your cold and enjoy the holidays.

My problem with naps is I tend to not take them because I try to wait until I have everything done. I should just listen to my body telling me that I'll work better if I take a nap. ;-)

*goes to take a nap forthwith*

I'm so glad you updated. I knew you were adjusting to the schedule, still, but you've been missing way longer than usual. I am sorry to hear it is because you have been under the weather. I hope I've caught you napping and you'll feel rested and ready for an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend. *hugs!*

I haven't napped yet, but I will. I am feeling rested, though, just knowing I don't have anything major I have to deal with today. Sorry if I worried you! I suddenly realized this morning that it might be good if I said a word here, just in case folks were wondering... ;-)

*hugs back*

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving - and that you feel better and have safe travel!
