I had such plans for this wonderful Monday. I had a schedule recorded in my Daytimer that was sure to result in a productive day. By noon I had finished my Bible Study, my house was clean, laundry was done, dinner planned out, and I was caught up on most of my work on the computer. As I stopped for lunch I would feel a tad bit of pride and self-righteousness creeping in...
As soon as I sat down at my computer to do some writing assignments, I knew I was in trouble. Every document I was working on was locked. I tried everything I knew to do (i.e. I called Jeremy and asked him what was wrong.) He could not fix it long distance and so I creatively went on to the next project. I was quickly interrupted by a very loud, annoying smoke alarm going off. I know the sound well. It happens frequently when I cook. Lest you misunderstand, it's not because I burn things, it's because it's ultra sensitive. Water boiling sets it off. It drives me nuts! However, I was not boiling water, so I went to investigate. Absolutely nothing is burning or smoking in my kitchen. The alarm stopped only to begin again in about 10 minutes. I did all I knew to do (i.e. I called David to ask him what was wrong.) He told me the battery was probably low and it could wait until he got home. At this writing. It has gone off at least a dozen times, the noise is driving my Yorkie out of her mind. When the alarm is not ringing, the dog is shrieking at my feet. I would fix the thing myself, except my ceiling happens to be 12 feet tall.
I had some really big things to write about today, instead I'm crippled by the "little things." Isn't that typical.
Have a great day in spite of the the "little things".
