I'm glad my friends share things with me, but I wish they'd keep their germs to themselves. This is not a good time for me to be sick.

I was gonna guess you, but you didnt give me a chance.
Seems to me like the employers loss. We'll alert the pajama party, they have a new member.:) May the Lord give you new insight into His will for your life, and a greater awareness of His love, in Jesus' name, amen.

*caffeinated perk (much more than a normal perk)

Do you use a starter culture or do you use packaged yeast? And how do you make it gluten free? How does it rise? What kind of flour?

I created my own sour over about 4 months. To make something gluten free, you can't use any wheat, rye or barley flours, so I use my own blend of white rice, sorghum and potato flours. It doesn't work at all like wheat so to explain it here would be more than I have words for.

Why am I never good enough for others? I try so hard to succeed but I only ever seem to be as good as my last mistake. And why are other people held to lower standards of "human after all" and are excused for vile things and deliberate bad decisions but I am expected to perform flawlessly like a superhuman? You could say it helps me become even stronger but I am getting oh so tired of it all. One can only do so much without any support or help.

I can identify with this. I comfort myself with this verse: Luke 12:48... Well, the comfort comes in the second half of the verse.

Just checked my last pay stub - I have two weeks of vacation on the books, and 3 days PCL (paid compensated leave, which works similar to vacation time).

I may take a day or two of "stay-cation" in September/October, but after that....where to go? where to go?

This song describes my stream of thought the last couple of weeks perfectly. It's beautiful yet sad at the same time.

[video=youtube;UKtyJeNpcT4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKtyJeNpcT4[/video]

Pitch black, pale blue
There was a stained glass, variation of the truth
And I felt empty handed

You let me
Set sail, with cheap wood
So I patched up every leak that I could
Till the blame grew too heavy

Stage by stage, I tear apart
If brokenness is a form of art
I must be a poster child prodigy

Thread by thread I come apart
If brokenness is a work of art
Surely this must be my masterpiece

I'm only honest when it rains
If I time it right, the thunder breaks
When I open my mouth
I wanna tell you but I don't know how

I'm only honest when it rains
An open book, with a torn out page
And my inks run out
I wanna love you but I don't know how

I don't know how
No I don't know how
I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how

I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I wanna love you

Pitch black, pale blue
These wild oceans shake whats left of me
And loose just to hear me cry mercy
The strong wind at my back
So I'll lift up
The only sail that I have
This tired white thread

I'm only honest when it rains
If I time it right, the thunder breaks
When I open my mouth
I wanna tell you but I don't know how

I'm only honest when it rains
An open book, with a torn out page
And my inks run out
I wanna love you but I don't know how
Know how

I'm only honest when it rains
If I time it right, the thunder breaks
When I open my mouth
I wanna tell you but I don't know how
Know how

I'm only honest when it rains
An open book, with a torn out page
And my inks run out
I wanna love you but I don't know how

I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I wanna love you but I don't know how
I wanna love you​

Write 5 places you have always wanted to visit on seperate pieces of paper and draw one from a hat!! Although when in doubt Italy is always the correct answer!

My kids have a book called "My No, No, NO Day!" and it's about a little girl who throws a fit or complains about everything, all day long. It's fun to read to them because I get to do the yelling/whining parts exactly like they do. At the end of the book, the mom asks her daughter "Who wants a bedtime story?", and the girl yells, "Nobody!" But her mom comes and sits by her bed and reads the girl's favorite story anyway, and then the little girl tells her mom she's sorry for the bad day.

I have a lot of my own type of "No, No, NO" days. I don't always apologize at the end of them, either. But even after I've been a jerk and complained about silly things...I'm still loved. By my family, and by the Lord. I have a hard time accepting that, even though I'm quick to forgive others for things...I don't give myself the same grace.

Anyway. This was on my mind because I've been doing a lot of silent complaining today. And I wonder, when the day is over, if I'll have learned anything, or if I'll still be frustrated about the same things when I wake up tomorrow.

I spend a lot of time running in circles of my own creation.

Same here, and it can be exhausting. As long as were running in circles in His pasture, and not running a straight line out of it. Jesus, thank you for being our Good Shepherd, and allowing us the freedom to run around like nuts, if that's what we do sometimes, and still loving us, and when we collapse from being dizzy, you hold us close and let us rest in your arms. Thank you for keeping us, your wandering sheep, in you care.
Love, us sheeps.

Do you want me to work for your company or not? I know you see your own value but you are apparently forgetting or not respecting my potential value and what I have brought to companies in the past (hint: millions). If you mistreat me, I easily have other options - your competitors. I am tired of being used and abused by narcissistic people and will not tolerate it going forward. So can we work this out like mature, professional adults, or do I just need to move on?

refrigerator memo.jpg

This giant hamburger was recently rediscovered in a box that got shoved in a closet and never got unpacked after I moved. It's a magneted memo pad.

My daughter told me we should use that for a shopping list and put maple syrup on it, since we made pancakes today and had to make do with honey. I told her that I already made a list and she should just add the syrup.

Then I got to thinking, and realized that I dreamt making the list. When in my 20's I used to dream about mundane chores all the time, then having thought I did them since I "remembered" doing so. I keep better records now, so I won't make the mistake of not paying a bill because I thought I already did...anymore.

Does anyone else dream of boring, mundane stuff like errands? Do they seem real? Oh, why can't I just have more flying dreams? Those are cool.
