Time seems to fly by, yet stand still...

It's Friday again. Unlike last Friday, where at this point in the day, I had no real plans for the weekend, this one seems to be full already. Yes, already. I don't seem to plan very far ahead these days.

My BMW is in the Nampa Christian auction this weekend. And Larry Gebert has been at the school this morning, doing his weather updates, featuring the car. Great exposure! It should sell this weekend. And, hopefully get a little extra coin in the NCS account.

In our spare time this weekend, we'll move a few more things over to the new cottage. We did most of the large, heavy items one evening last week, so it should be easy. Then the organizing begins. And maybe even sleeping there soon! It's been a very long process and it still seems surreal.

Today was the day to show my banker that I have enough money for closing, a week from today. This is where time has been standing still. This week has crawled by and next week probably will too. I guess I should be taking advantage of that and doing some positive, productive things. Had a couple minor set backs, but it's resolved. It's amazing to me that, even though it seemed impossible, that funds came in from unexpected places to the exact dollar amount I needed. Even right down to my tax refund. It just all came together, perfectly.

I took Launa skiing this week. We had a great time! It was fun spending time together in a different setting than usual. She's doing very good. She starts her new job at Lowes today. There all day today and tomorrow for training, then will probably get a schedule to start her cashier job next week. She's very excited about it. I'm proud of her. I told her on the chairlift the other night that she should look at this as a stepping stone for a career, rather than just a "get by" job. If she proves herself as a valuable employee as a checker, she can work her way up within the company and could possibly, eventually become a design assistant, a department manager, or even a buyer for them. I'm praying for her!

No Greater Love is coming together nicely. I'm excited about being involved this year. Ticket sales start Monday, the set starts going up Monday. Practices are increasing in length and frequency. It's an amazing event, and just to be one small part is inspiring.

I seem to be rambling, and promised myself I wouldn't. I strive for this muse to be inspiring. To have some sort of message. To challenge and motivate. But this one may not do any of those things. So, such as it is, maybe there's a small take away for you. Please let me know either way.
