dual personalities

Well, once again, we’ve made it to Friday. And to that I say PRAISE HANDS ALL AROUND. Sometimes, I don’t know which is worse: when work is so busy and I am stressed out about it or when it is so slow and I am bored out of my mind. I think it is the boring days. I do not enjoy reading the internet all day.

In other news, I had another bout of good luck at an estate sale last weekend and finally found a desk for my office! I’ve been using a table I bought at Ikea in approximately 2007. Good grief that table is approaching twenty years old! Anyway, I know you are itching for pictures of my recent finds, but I need to do some more work on the overall aesthetic of the rooms before sharing. Patience is a virtue.

Here is Mr. Smith keeping me company while I worked from home today. He’s a nutball and a nice distraction. In other Mr. Smith news, the neighbors to my left have moved (slash possibly fled town) and are renting their house to a “friend” who I’ve interacted with one time and who gave real The-Mean-Lady-Who-Stood-Next-To-Me-In-Middle-School-Handbell-Choir-And-Didn’t-Approve-Of-All-The-Giggling vibes (we didn’t have enough people so she played the high notes). This new neighbor also has a white dog but it is not a Westie. Mr. Smith may have a nemesis.

Sigh.

I’m trying to remember, “We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” –Romans 5:3-5
