My husband is going to the doctor for his test results after lunch today. Quick action...we like that!! He will find out if he is showing the enzymes in his system indicative of an ulcer, or if we need to chase down the gall bladder next, or also, as well as who knows what else. He ate melted cheese on toast for breakfast this morning, just in case his cholesterol is still way too high, in which case that melted cheese will be his last for a very long time, haha.
I just received a call from the dental office to let me know my new crown has all ready arrived and my dentist has time tomorrow afternoon to put it into place. Rather than wait until next Tuesday I have taken tomorrow's appointment. The gum around that tooth is pretty chewed up, so might as well do all the damage at once and then let the whole thing heal properly without any more invasive work. Yippee...another new tooth.
In a little while I am going out for lunch with my husband's cousin. We are going to finish planning the cousins' reunion for Boxing Day. Looking forward to nailing down the details.
It is very overcast today. There are snow showers possible sometime in the next couple of hours and then the temperatures will begin a slow slide into a rather cold Christmas week. How blessed we have been with warm weather so far this month. Even Christmas week may have day time highs no lower than -16C. Chilly yes, but certainly not unbearable to navigate with our company during the holidays.
I am reflecting on the fact that December 24th, Christmas Eve, is this year the final Sunday of Advent and not the first Sunday of Christmas. Wonder how many of our even most staunch Anglicans will remember that and refrain from wishing each other a Merry Christmas at the church services. Not to nitpick of course, but if we are Anglicans we may as well act like we are!
Our son has another 3 days of casual work this week. He is so grateful. The gallery where he started off his life in NYC with a 3 month temporary position continues to call him back for a few days here and there. An artist friend does the same. As he says, God does indeed provide his needs, but like the rest of us he is learning how to cope with that provision coming at the very, very last second. It is building his faith, that is for sure. He may get a chance next school term to do a classroom presentation one day at Cooper Union college, so is hoping that comes about. Doing two, two hour presentations when he lived in Vancouver got him a couple of terms of teaching at Simon Fraser, so who knows. As he says and as his dad and I have experienced many a time, when you are in waiting mode for full time work, rather than being discouraged at how long it is taking to find such a job, be excited about the endless possibilities.
Aaaaah, here comes the sun peeping out from behind a big black cloud. What a lovely thing to see on a December day!
