Lockdown Day 246 - 27 November 2020
Wow, today was hectic. Next level. And thoroughly exciting. We woke early and hit the ground running, sorting out the off-loading arrangements and starting the last leg of the truck people's work.
After an entire day of uncrating furniture that had been in storage, the truck people left. We were in a house that looked like those cluttered home programs on Style Network. I was at one point very emotional because it looked like an insurmountable task. I wondered how on earth those hoarders live with such clutter, all I want to see is a clean floor, and not have to navigate pathways through it all. Even if it is our stuff, it needs to be organised and sorted so life can be simple and clean.
My friend Laurette arrived with a pot of blue hydrangeas and a delicious meal, and after she left my friend Charline who lives in the same street, came walking in with some gin and tonic, just as a humongous storm broke. As the heavenly blessing splashed onto the stoep, we chatted and enjoyed dinner together, catching up on missed years of friendship since our Harrismith days. We popped a bubbly in the rain and toasted new beginnings and it didn't even matter we had cardboard place mats with mismatched glasses, squished inbetween stacked boxes and misplaced furniture.
After hubby went to bed and the youngest headed to his own place for the night, I went back to the kitchen, motoring through about 10 kitchen boxes. I felt a whole lot lighter. It was a near full and shiny silver moon when I decided to slip into the little splash pool. What a wonderful delight!!
And so I offer up a prayer of praise for our most high God who brought us to this moment. As the moon glided through the clouds I saw His glory in the night sky and rested, knowing He's got this.
...so you did the splash pool dip? Goody!!
