rejected

i've just had another colleague die! and earlier in the week a colleague's wife died. i hope this completes the series of three and we won't have any more deaths for a while.

yesteday at the wellness fair at work, i got my cholesteral, blood sugar, BMI and blood pressure checked. i was pleased to discover that i'm quite healthy! i was in the right range in each category, which was encouraging. lately i've decided that i need to come up with more creative evening snacks. i'm having to think outside the box because the only two things i remember for having as an evening snack as a kid was chips and raisins. quality and wholesome snacks is not particularly a tradition in my family, before sunday lunch my mom often serves potato chips. with the results from the wellness fair i feel very affirmed to keep working at improving my eating habits and be creative.

sometimes it seems that bands are hit and miss. on one album there might be a handful of stellar songs and a handful of less then stellar songs. i kind of don't like that.

on sunday, living room starts up again. this will be the last year under my leadership. in the spring i had a conversation with rach about her garden, and she was taking this summer off to let her soil rest because it had been seven years. afterwards, i was thinking that living room has been going seven years, and i definitely felt it was time to turn the soil. so i called together some long-term key living roomers with garry and we chatted, but came to no clear conclusion. the summer went on and garry resigned as pastor from next church. after which, i decided i'd give one more year, making it my official final year of leadership and leave the seat open to someone else. i feel good about this decision. i want to finish well and i think having clear expectations is fair for my group mates.

i'm looking forward to this weekend. brendan and i are going to buy and assemble a shed that will take up residence at the end of our driveway. i'm excited about this and did a lot of investigating different sizes and styles. i'm thankful how multifunctional our driveway is. i like that having limited space forces me to be resourceful and not wasteful.
