We spent the day doing things. First we went to Target. I got a new watch with a blue face. Candles for prayer. I use lots--every day. And some other fun stuff. Then we went to Goodman's and Luke got two pair of great shoes. Not the usual that doesn't end up feeling good on his feet. Luke spent the gift that Em gave him for Chirstmas. She'll be happy.
1/5 We kept hearing about the big storm. It was supposed to start last night. But it didn't. I was hoping that Luke wouldn't have to work today and drive on slick, icy roads. He's supposed to be on sabatical and he's intitled to stay home on ickky days. Anyway I think so. Even though it didn't snow last night, the sky was very white and looked dangerous. A quiet settled down on our world. The quiet before the storm. And then the snow began to fall.
Of course, Luke being Luke was getting ready to haul it to Butler. I asked him to call and check. Good thing he did. The auditions (that he was going to hear) were due to start right then. There was no point going in. Noone had called to tell him. Yay.
I found out this morning that I had to e-mail my bio to Daren. I'm so excited for this art project. Sooo excited. I spent the morning refining the bio that I started last week. It rocked and said everything I wanted to say about my career. I could see the thread going through all that I've done over the years. I know that God brought this project to me.
MKate ,being the amazing person that she is, was going to work for me today. I wasn't going to let that happen. She worked for me last week so Luke and I could have the Teddy Bear Picnic with Xander.
So with promises to be careful, I set out to work. People who depend on a cane, as I do, have to be more careful than the average bear on wintry or on very wet days. As I'm pulling out of the driveway, I see a bad sight. My little Greyling, the Fairy Princess , is sitting on a lawn chair on our porch. She's cold. And I know she's hungry. If Luke weren't home, I wouldn't have been able to go to work. I called him. He let her right in and fed her. Poor Princess was so hungry that she licked the platter clean. Bless his heart. He's such a loving person and I know how much he loves our Princess.
Work was fun. I got to start work on our new Valentine's day--heart healthy display. I love to work on displays. One of my fav customers came in for a nutrient for his sick puppy. Linda came in to tell a very, very sad story about a little pup that she tried to save. Through God's grace, she found this poor injured pup keeping guard over his dead sib. She brought the poor little guy to the Human Society. They came up and even though it was closing time , they took the little guy right in. They tried but couldn't save him. At least he didn't die alone and scared. I hope little Charlie is with the angels now.
People should respect animals and love them. They are God's creatures. A woman called about her 17 year old cat who was having a bad reaction to dental surgery and wouldn't eat. Now he was hiding under her bed. I just keep talking to her. Finally she had the confidence to try to feed him again. She called me just before I left the store to thank me. Her cat, Pumpkin , had eaten. He was feeling better.
When I went to the car, Linda helped me clear the windows. It was warmer than when I went to work. Also the driving was easier. Yay.
