I can hardly believe that tomorrow October will be half over. Suddenly time seems to be flying again. Before long we’ll be watching for snow, and I still have a bunch of flowerbed work to do. I guess I should do more than think about it, right??

Today though is a loss. I had a haircut appointment right around noon. That appointment is going to mess up my mental health for the rest of the week. LOLOL I always have my hair cuts done on a Friday, and an occasional Thursday. But a Tuesday haircut is going to messing up my days of the week and there is no telling how many Fridays I’m going to have this week. 

After my haircut I was to go to my doctor’s clinic and get my blood work done for my physical this Thursday. Well, the doctor’s office had not sent in the order yet, which I guess is okay except that I had fasted for the blood draw and it was well after 1300 hours. So I came home and Ms. Kate was just finishing up the Tuna Salad that I had asked her to make. And of course, about 30 minutes after I ate, the doctor’s off ice call and told me they had just sent in the order for my bloodwork. I guess I will wait until tomorrow morning now. 

The great news is that while I was out, Ms. Kate made an Apple crisp pie. It came out of the oven just as I was walking in the door. You know what is on my menu later don’t you. 

I am so glad to hear that the hostages in Gaza have been released after two years and the war there is hopefully over. Millions of prayers have been lifted up in the past two years and I suspect many people came to believe that God was not listening. But I assure you that God heard each one and I also know God acts in his own time and situations. I just send thanks to God that this has happened and pray that the conflict and war really can be over. Those areas will need a lot of help to rebuild what they have spent two years blowing up, but the people killed during all of this will never return and my heart breaks for the senseless loss of life.  Through it all, as far as I can tell, —- neither side gained a single thing. Pray with me for peace. 

I think that’s it for today. Have a blessed day. Peace.
