No Complaints Today

 Happy Sabbath,

It's such a lovely day. I had a great day at church and I enjoyed a good lunch that didn't take any effort. It seems my heating system is working so I praise God for that.  I am thankful for a comfortable home. I'm thankful for my new security system and to be able to find a device that I had not used in a while to become a control center for some of the systems I have in place.  When I arrived at my house I saw a bicycle on the ground in the driveway of my neighbor. I was confused because I know they are a young family and their only child is still an infant.  Who would have their bicycle in their driveway for any reason.  When I got ready to turn my vehicle off, I saw the person who would do such a thing. One of the people who prompted me to set up the security system in the first place.  I don't know if they took the time to talk to him but hopefully they will be careful.  I might be wrong I believe he was the person who broke into their house when the previous family lived there (causing them to move out of town).  He has no good reason to come all the way around and a long way at that to get to our street to bother that family.  I open my curtains a little too early and he promptly turns out his lights in his house to watch my house and I'm certain theirs as well.  I have a camera set up to face my sliding glass door and patio so if anything approaches I have 3-5 devices that will sound off that there is movement and will record. 

My family is preparing to return to town tomorrow.  I have been enjoying this time alone and thought I would do some trips but I stayed in my neighborhood. I was able to get some things done around the house. I was able to paint cabinets, walls, install some beautiful ceiling lights, put out autumn decorations and get a great deal on mums for my front yard.  My son's bedroom is clean and ready for him to return. I changed the layout so it is more accessible for him and he gets more sunlight in his room.  The only thing I was not able to do was change the direction of my refrigerator doors.  There is a screw that is too tight and my WD40 did absolutely nothing to loosen it.  If I find another penetrating oil or tool, I'll try again but for now it is ok. I was able to stop by Trader Joes and get my favorite meal items. Trader Joes always makes me happy every time I go in there.  

My client's waiver was reinstated so I'm happy about that.  There were some big plans that were put on hold as a result but now we can move forward and get them the services they need. I even washed my hair mid week and it was quick to style.  That doesn't happen for me.  I'm on a low heat journey right now and am wearing my twists in a bun these days.  Now that it is fall, I am excited about grabbing a hat because that will give me another reason not to have to do my hair.  Back in 2008/2009 and even 2010 I kept my hair in sopping wet twists and they absolutely flourished.  I think I will start doing this for autumn and winter...maybe spring and will go back to bottles of olive oil and Vo5.  2026 could be my hip length goal, who knows.   Anyway, I had a good week. My hair is clean and fresh. My security system is set up and I feel ,more comfortable. I have the comforts that I like and God continues to take care of and bless me.  I have no complaints.  God is good.
