I
won $4 (that is four dollars with two zeroes after the decimal point), not the
$425 millions Powerball jackpot (that is the one with two comas and many zeroes
after the decimal point) …. Well, I still got love (or do I, really ????) . . .
I’d better get back to Nebraska to catch up with the wagon for the Gold Rush .

The
temperature this week is rather interesting.
Today is cloudy with a constant threat of rain, just normal rain, not
freezing or sleet. Temperature is in the
high 60s, almost 70s. Thus, the title of
this Thursday Ramblings post “Spring is around the corner” …. (these photos
were taken a few years ago at a Home and Garden expo).
Yesterday
evening, after another long day at work, I went to my Employment Law
class. It was nice not having to run from
the parking lot- no freezing temperature, no falling snow – just a pleasant
walk to the building, to the classroom, where I would be spending the next 3.5
hours, being attentive to the lecture and trying to ignore my hunger (after
eating a banana and a bag of mini peanut butter crackers, not much to be
considered dinner).
“Hang
on TOTA, you are almost there”, I said to myself. Two more weeks (I am working on a Position
Statement and the Final Exam on March 5th) to the completion of the
program . . . a long journey … I could almost see the Finish Line . . .
It
was hard to believe when I saw the temperature reached 68 on Tuesday (Feb. 18th). What a wonderful treat, even though I know it
will not last very long. All the snow
was gone which makes me a bit upset since I just gave “Luc” a nice bath (a good
wash at an auto spa), all the water from the road splashed all over my clean
car!
On
Monday (Feb. 17th) was a different story. There was freezing rain in the morning and then
just cloudy in the high 20s. I did not
plan to go anywhere but I offered to help drive an old person to the doctor’s
office. I was a bit concerned about the
roads but it was not too bad. After dropping off this person, I visited
another parishioner and brought him Holy Communion. I told my husband these good deeds should fill up my "Blessings basket", just in time for the Lenten season!
