Today's Bible Reading- 1 Samuel Chapters 8-10.
April's Memory Verse- 1 Thessalonians 5: 14-17.
Good morning, my friends. I hope you're well. Our forecast for today: 80°, a mix of sunshine and clouds, 10% chance of rain, winds from the southwest at 14 miles per hour, and humidity is sitting at 98%.
So. The ledgers were balanced yesterday and the clothes were washed. I didn't go outside much because frankly, my sunburn was aching and I had to wear a cami as a top yesterday. Not very modest. It is healing, though, because it started to itch in parts last night.
The pump in the greenhouse quit yesterday. We'll have to order a new one. I found one that's a decent price and comes from a reputable company. I don't know if Pop will order it or not. I could probably text him and ask if he wants me to order it.
Gracie hacked a hairball up on my sheets last night, so I'll be doing my sheets today. Lovely.
Now to the big thing. The reason for the title. My mom came in my room yesterday and told me I needed to sit down. I was already sitting, so done. She handed me the electric bill. Y'all. It was over $1,000. Holy crap! How the heck?! And they're wanting to increase our rates and make our bills go up. It's absolutely ridiculous. Oh my word. That's stroke-inducing levels of insanity. For real. Just. Oh my word. *sigh*
I'll have to put the bill on the credit card and slowly pay it off. I know other people are struggling with bills like this too, but this. This is unacceptable. What can you do, though? It's one person against a multi-billion corporation. I could be discouraged. Could be. I refuse to be. The Lord has never left us high and dry before. I'm trusting that He'll help me navigate these troubled waters.
Today, I'll be balancing ledgers, paying this awful bill, washing sheets, and maybe I'll work on the linen closet. Maybe. Tacos are on the menu for tonight. I have the taco sauce, the meat, the cheese, sour cream, salsa, and I think I'll just heat up some tostada shells. I don't think I bought any taco shells. I'll have to look.
I'm also a bit nervous today. My doctor appointment is tomorrow. In fact, it's almost 24 hours away on the nose. I have to get up early tomorrow. Way early. I need to be on the road between 7:00 and 7:15 to get there by 8:30. Long way, but hopefully it'll be a step in the right direction for my health.
Because I have to leave so early, I'll most likely be later in writing my post.
That's all I have for today, peeps. Love you all and until next time, stay safe my friends. ❤
