Happy Sabbath,
I don't want to make a habit of saying let's keep this short.
God is good and I am thankful for another good week and for this beautiful weekend that I am able to experience. I am thankful for this part time job. There are a lot of unknowns ahead of me but I know the Lord will help me through them.
First I want to ask for prayer in support of my great aunt. I found out this week that my great aunt had to have her last leg amputated. Her other one was cut off because of an infection that went untreated. This time around for her remaining leg, she was going to a wound care specialist and despite going for several months, for some reason they were not able to figure out (or cared to bother with necessary testing) that she had an infection and it was not the other thing they thought it was. COVID happened and she stopped going to her wound care appointments and it got worse. For one day it got so bad they considered amputating it on Mother's day but then she was getting better and her white blood cell count started to drop. Unfortunately, later this week the count went back up and my cousin made the decision to go through with the amputation. She is going to be full dependent care now and I just don't see how she can remain in her home. Please pray for her.
I was going through the week and occasionally I go on my macbook pro to watch youtube. Just recently I discovered the decrease sound key stopped working and my computer no longer wants to go into sleep mode or shut down easily. I have to hold the power button to turn it off. One day this week, I was watching youtube and suddenly my computer decided it was going to shut down without warning. I've had Imovie shut me out at least twice with no warning so I know this computer is on its last leg. It is a late edition 2011 mac I purchased at the end of January 2012 during a troubling time in my life. It was my dream computer, the one I had wanted for many years and I have so much on here by way of videos, photos of my son, and music, art, etc... So I started looking around for a new computer and told myself I would stay with mac (all my computers mac and phones android so I would say). I was upset to see that apple does not have a touch screen macbook that has a dvd drive and all the other ports I need. If I am going to spend 1300 plus, I need it to have everything I am looking for. I looked online and in store and came across an HP touch screen that seemed to have everything I wanted. Only thing was, didn't want to pay over 500 dollars for one and the one I spied in store was over the price point. Thursday morning I determined to purchase something and when I was not certain the one I liked in store was not in stock I went to Amazon and ordered the computer and ended up paying 50-70 bucks less by doing so. I expect to get it next week along with a case and some other goodies. I am thankful that I have the extra cash to spend on a purchase like this because I really need a reliable computer to do my work and allows me to do so much more. I will keep using my mac so long as it wants to run. I need the imovie software and I like watching youtube with it connected to the mirroring tv monitor. I need to get my son's photos printed so they are not lost forever. My first laptop was a HP which I still have and it is 6 feet away from where I am sitting. I need to order a charge cord to get that one started back up. Nothing was wrong with it, it just was outdated, clunky and heavy to me and in the shadow of my mac, I lost all interest in it.
So I am thankful for the funds, the new computer on the way, food on my table, clothes on my feet. I enjoyed a lovely couple hours out in my back yard yesterday and watched my son dig a deep hole in the area I plan to start another garden. The asparagus is extremely tall. I will not harvest it this year, I want more to come out for next year so I don't kill off the plant. My son ate young onions out of the garden. Parsley and carrot tops, cabbage, bean stalks, garlic, thyme, and that mystery crop I'm still trying to figure out what it is are all coming up among others. I saw a gorgeous male peacock strolling towards my front yard. My mother sent me a photo of a male peacock over across the street from her house in her neck of the woods. Never did I imagine seeing these things, but I guess with COVID, they are feeling braver, are spreading out and taking over our town which I have no problem with. I even had a perfect view of a blue jay, absolutely gorgeous this Sabbath morning. So much beauty that God creates. I plan on stopping by Whole foods to do a haul and spending a good portion of my afternoon out in my gazebo tomorrow. I am thankful for this beautiful weekend and that it is not going to rain as I thought it would.
Enjoy the sunshine, warmth and start of summer (I hope you have it). I'm loving this stay at home order. It really is doing my family and I good.
