The three D's

I have been discouraged down in the dumps and disappointed. I am feeling like a post holiday let down has happened. I have been here with the dog this weekend no family gathering happened.

I tried listening to some parotic music that made me cry thinking of the family gatherings we had as kids and that made me sad so I had to change that channel.

They had fireworks displays but no one was there to cheer because they closed off the stands, bleachers were empty. Home fire works were loud and obnoxious. The dog and I were unsettled.

We went to the basement and I painted a desk until I ran out of paint. First coat is pretty much done.

I remembered how Brother Lawerence had a medative way of doing regular daily tasks as a medation and I did that this morning while I picked up and put away things around here and swept the hard surfaces. Glad for that improvement it looked better. I saw my verse reminder that comes each week. Thinking on that I am going to get to writing out verses on my planner pages. The timing of that reminder was perfect!
I have heard of folks that have verses come through out the day I am not sure I want that many coming in my phone, updates can be irritating to me.

This afternoon I dug out two walnut trees they were not very big, I have learned to get them before the get over a foot tall they are much easier that way. I am alergic to tree nuts so do not need those here.

I could not find paint in stock for the paint project so did not waste a trip to get that. I may just change color and mix up what I have here shade of blue I have on hand. I did not paint because I could not decide on the color I wanted to use.

I was trying to find a journal cover and sketch book then remembered that I had one of each in the book case and got those out now a couple of  pages are full.

Got out my lined journal for daily diary type of entries when I realized that the one I am in will be done in a couple of days. I will be using the one with vintage pattern designs on the cover I got a while back.

I did not run the ac today 60*- 83* today's temps did not seem so bad.
I still need to walk the dog it will cool off in a bit.

Painted a desk. Messed up my computer sigh might have to take a break from this and my on line fav. sites. Only using my tablet now. Getting security updated making progress on that but it is a slow process for me.
