It’s sometimes funny how things work out.
I can’t say too much about it at this stage (more info will be coming later) but I just wanted to recognise two things. Firstly the fact that God clearly has things sorted in ways that I wouldn’t for the life of me see coming. Clearly i need to be reminded of that regularly.
Secondly, how fantastic, thoughtful and supportive my wife is in encouraging me to persevere with things I may have otherwise given up on.
Love You Sweety.
I hate bills at the best of times.
They are always a pain (albeit a necessity) but I got a ruder shock than normal this morning when I opened up our power bill.
Our usage (and charges) were through the roof. Up almost three times our previous quarter, and 1.5 times our usage this time last year. A call to the company confirmed this was indeed accurate. We are now left figuring out what has caused the spike - if it is a new appliance or if an old one has a power leak or something.
Crazy times.
There are times when I think that cleaning is futile task.
Don’t get me wrong - I’m not against keeping things tidy and clean. I just get astounded at how short a time things remain in that state once it has been done.
There are times when I will be sweeping or vacuuming and i will turn around to survey what I have done. There is no doubt the results are better than when I started, but to a certain extent it seems some of the dirt and dust has just been shifted around, rather than removed altogether. As I see it there are 2 explanations:
1). I am no good at cleaning. Let’s discount this due to my awesomeness. Which leaves us with…
2). There is an optimum level of cleanliness (say 90%) and any cleanliness beyond that level is ridiculously hard to maintain. This means that cleaning past that point is essentially a waste of time as before you are finished, cleanliness will be back to 90%.
This revolutionary new concept could change the way we clean. Expect to see 90% Off BAM and the Dyson 90% in stores soon.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
was that subtle enough??
word of the week
Funny how many times this word has cropped up this week. Be it ignoring a request, instruction, behaviours, people or opinions. Some have been mine but most have been observed in others and it makes me wonder how selfish people can actually be.
To deliberately ignore someone or something seems to me to be a way of making it clear that you think you know best, to the detriment of friendship, safety, sanity or something else completely.
i have no solution - its just an observation - and a sad one at that…
