The silver lining of bedrest
Some people have commented that it seems like we have quite a cloud hanging over us, given the bedrest situation and Mr. Tldz’s unemployment. I guess that’s true, but maybe there really always is a silver lining.
For one thing, having to lay around and not do much has meant that I have finally finished Agent Murphy’s baby book (with the exception of 3rd-5th birthdays and first schooling type stuff) — something I haven’t been able to accomplish in the past year and a half or more. Hooray — just in time to start on another one! (I’ve now set myself up a file for keeping notes for the various entries in Garbanzo Bean’s book, so perhaps I can be a bit more organized with it.)
Another thing is that we’ve gotten to know people at our church and in our neighborhood who we probalby wouldn’t have met, or wouldn’t have met or gotten to know as well as soon. Okay, so this really isn’t the way I would have chosen to make new friends; but we’ll take what good we can get.
Speaking of getting to know people at church… Mr. Tldz picked up our copy of the new parish directory today after Mass. It looks really nice, and a chunk of the parishioners do have their pictures in it, so it will help to be able to put names with faces, and to have contact info for folks all in one place.
