Sorry, I missed a couple of days.
Cue excuses: busy. We've been really busy at work this week. I finally got a Day Out.
It turns out it's a good thing I broke my toe. We had a bus-stop rapist. They caught him this week. That's the nice thing about being laid up at home, sick and with a broken toe, I wasn't out on the bus.
However, all my bus stops are in very populated areas. Chivalry is not dead in Texas, and I have a little surprise for bad guys.
I was happy I could do some nice things for people. Jesus says, don't talk about your good deeds (I am not good at that), so I'll just say I was glad I could help in small ways.
So, I worked every day but Tuesday. Tuesday I had a Day Out. Ron swears he loves to give me rides, and his love language IS acts of service. So, I had him take me to Walmart, come home, Starbucks, and he went home by himself.
By leaving me there, he saved me an hour bus transit, and 2 bus rides. I went to Academy sports and got a few summer clothes, some warmup shorts, and a tshirt.
I also ran off copies of Ron's latest tract, and found a water proof envelope I can use for storing my Bible in my backpack. Backpack Bibles have a hard time; it's an abusive environment. It's worked very well.
I also recopied all the prayer notes for my God time (several double sided pages), and made a backup folder, which also lives in my backpack. I wasn't done yet!
My heels were a little tender, but not my toe, thank God. The next day my calves were a little tender but not much. It's been a while since I did that much walking.
I went to make a deposit. I had saved some change in a jar, and turned it into cash. The cash went into my account and then to a charity. I looked around, not my favorite grocery store.
Ron had asked me to get the Tuesday Chicken Special. 2 pieces of dark meat for $1. I got him, as requested, 3 specials. I also got a mild special for the driver. She said no, so when I got home I ate a piece and Ron gave the other one to the cat. He took off the skin and deboned it, then fed it.
Ron ate all 3 specials (amazing he is still about 160 pounds), and fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly. He was pretty cute. Mr Cat loved his chicken.
I ate a thigh. It was pretty good. It's kind of a joke, I only want chicken at a certain phase in my cycle. The rest of the time I hate chicken.
I'm down another pound, even though I have eaten really bad things this week. Yesterday we went to the computer store, had a problem with the PC. He fixed it. Paratransit wasn't coming for another hour. So, we ordered a pizza. It felt like a party, me, Ron and the owner all eating slices, offering them to customers, etc. It was fun.
Today I got online with the fixed computer and filed the overdue accounting report.
Our boss came out, we had a good visit. He is bringing us new equipment tomorrow (would have been a day off).
Oh, and I bought something I had wanted for a long while. Purple rubber bands. I use them at work, and since I bought them why not? I love purple. I really enjoyed using them.
I got a request at work, one I could stock. My snack machines, finally, look fantastic. Ron has been good about getting me my inventory.
Oh, and I got a sponsor, who sent me over a case of Bibles. I'm doing a handout on Tuesday.

Hello,
Just wanted to say I enjoy reading your posts on rr-bb. I am not religious, I just like to occasionally look at various points of view(usually around election time...), and rr-bb satisfies one of them.
I think you are a pretty awesome person, even if I disagree with your politics and theology. You always sound so generous and optimistic. I remember one of my first times on rr-bb after coming from a link on iidb years ago, one of your posts resonated strongly with me and I shed a few tears.
I came across your blog from a link on your rr-bb account. Hope this does not seem too strange to post.
Cheers!

Thank you! That is very sweet!
I hope I can shine God's love on everyone I meet, online or off. ((((hugs)))
He has taken me through some horrible, dark, times. He's never left me. I've never had a human do that!
