Today ~ Thus Far.....

I got up this morning before my housemate left for work.  I went on to have breakfast and read the newspaper.  I cleaned up behind myself; as she went to leave, I went out and got the garbage cans from the street.  We had put them out last night in order to ensure that our garbage was picked up this morning since the trucks run somewhat early.  


I brought them back in the garage and then brought the door back down.  I went on to go take a shower and get dressed, then sat down and logged on and checked e-mail.  I also sent an e-mail to a couple of friends regarding whether or not they would be attending One Great Lunch Break today.  I said that I would be "out of pocket" with regard to e-mail so I asked them to call or text me.


I finished getting ready and then headed out.  My first stop was at the post office.  I picked up my incoming mail and then went to the window area and dropped off some outgoing mail; I had a package to send out, so I had to wait in line.  This post office has 4 window stations; they had only one clerk working.  I waited in line for about 10-15 minutes before I finally reached the clerk.  


I got the package mailed out and then left the post office and headed into the Downtown area.  I made a stop at my banking institution and cashed a check I had gotten from my flexible spending account for expenses I had that I had requested reimbursement for. 


Then I headed on to FBCJ and pulled into the CLC garage.  I parked and then made my way into the CLC.  I went to one of the workout rooms and got on a treadmill.  Altogether, I walked 41:30 and 1.56 miles.  I'm finally getting back to exercising now that my foot injury from late last year has finally completely healed where I can walk on a regular basis.  


While on the treadmill, I talked with one of my co-workers [she was out of the office today] and found that she wouldn't be attending One Great Lunch Break.  She asked me if I had the extra cash on me to pick up a ticket for her to next week's Midsummer Celebration featuring Laine Lawson Craft, founder of WHOA! Ministries [Women who Hear, Obey and Act on God's Word].  They had been selling tickets in order to have a "head count" so as to know how much food to prepare.  I said that I had been to the bank so, yes, I did have extra cash and would get a ticket for her.


I had learned that 2 of the people who usually join us for lunch were the only ones coming today, so I needed to save just 2 seats.  I made my way over to the Fellowship Hall East [where the lunch takes place] and purchased the 2 tickets I needed from the booth where they were being sold.  Then I made my way to the table where the "lite line" customers pay and paid for my lunch. 


After a short wait, the doors were opened and I went in and through the line and made my way to a table and grabbed 2 chairs and put them in a position so that others would know they were "saved".  I went on to eat; the others joined me a little later and then the program began.  


Dr. Bill Causey spoke on the topic of Forgiveness and his Scripture basis was 1 John 1:9 ~


If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (NIV)


After the program was over, I made a "pit stop" and then headed back to the garage and got my car and headed out.  I made a beeline to the gas station; after a short wait [they were busy] I pulled up to the pump and filled up:


Gallons:               9.326
Price per gallon:  $2.279
Total cost:          $21.25

I saved 10 cents per gallon with my loyalty card using fuel points.  Once I finished filling up, I headed out and made my way home and pulled into the driveway, raised the garage door, pulled in and parked and lowered the garage door.  

Inside, I made my way to my bedroom.  I've checked out WHOA! magazine's Summer, 2010 issue - I got 2 copies so I could share a copy with a friend in another state.  

The outside temperature is 91 under a mix of sun and clouds according to Channel 3.  I don't have the heat index.  In my bedroom it's 75.7 degrees - and I'm happy about that!  The solar curtains I ordered are in transit; according to what the carrier says, I should get them on Friday.  I've got to get a rod to hang them on.  

Not much else is going on - I think I'll join Sukiey and see if I can take a nap!
