Sundays...

Have I mentioned lately how much I love them?  I love Sundays.  Today, I didn't venture out to church. It was just too nice of a day.  Sunny, but a nice cool breeze blowing.  And I was itching to sit home on my own and eat french toast and sip my coffee.  And wow, it was a lovely, lovely morning.  My french toast turned out perfectly, the maple syrup seems to just keep lasting and lasting and lasting, and the Tim Horton's mug holds enough coffee to make me imagine that I am sipping an extra large double double.  So nice.  To top it off, the internet was working well enough to listen to a sermon from my home church.  So, there I was, laying on my couch, a belly full of french toast, sipping my coffee, and listening to Pastor Mike.  And then, my cat came and plonked himself down on me, and listened to the sermon as well.  Every one of God's creatures needs a little spiritual refreshment now and again, don't you agree?

I think the cat came because I was wearing a black shirt.  He somehow has some sort of instinct that causes him to like to sit on things that match.  If there is a black bag, a black shirt, a clean black anything, no matter what size it is, he will go and make himself fit onto the blackness of it.  Crazy cat.  But his strategy seems to have worked so far, as he's over 5 years old, and for a cat in Jb, that's downright ancient.

Downside of the day - with all the rain lately, and today's beautiful sun, all of God's vegetation decided it was time to pollinate.  I've so far taken 3 doses of two different kinds of antihistamines... and my nose is still dripping like my faucet.  The whole compound can hear my compounded sneezes, and I can hardly hear the howling dogs outside because my ears are so plugged.  In fact, even my teeth hurt because there is so much snot inside my head.  And my forehead is itchy.  So, I think it was best that I just stayed home all day, because I am not a pretty sight.  I have also gone through 3 hankies with my leaking nose.  Due to austerity measures (and the fact that a box of tissues will run you about $4 and a roll of toilet paper almost $1, my sweat rags (about $0.50) are doing double duty as snot rags today.  But that might be more than you wanted to know on that topic...

Gotta go wipe my nose.
