I have the urge to purge. To get rid of clutter that sits and sits. To lose weight in both the house and my own self.
And I don't want to have to make any lasting decisions. The rector made a passing comment at church Tuesday morning related to church membership. I'd said to him that Gary asked if I was ready to join. I told Gary that I'd not do that unless he wanted to as well---seems we should do that together, if at all. They both acknowledged that that was fine. But I'm not ready to commit, and that's okay too. I love that I can participate without the membership decision hanging over me. It seems a big deal anyway with the Bishop being involved. I'm sort of a low-key person. If things get to seeming complicated, then I usually run the other way.
Anyway, just going to take each day as it comes. This coming weekend will enjoy thinking about things. Rest, no obligations, and Memorial Day on Monday to look forward to. Second son will grill out and we'll have minor (meaning 'no fuss' and easy to be with) company to visit. He's invited two of his guy friends from church, but not sure if they'll both come. Would love for sweet Indian boyfriend to be here, but we'll have to see. His folks are big into family get-togethers, so he might be busy with them. Seems a trend with Indian families---they do lots and lots of entertaining amongst themselves.
But tonight is a pretty easy plan. Cooking breakfast steaks in the iron pot to make into beef stew. It cooks quicker than other cuts of meat and isn't quite as expensive. Some white potatoes/celery/carrots if we have some, and bouillon will make it dishy. With our oven out (have to whack on the underside of it in the broiler to make it light), not sure if we can get it to turn on for biscuits. Again, that's not a big deal.
Must hush now. Getting way too wordy.
