Liralen's Adventures Through Life

I got my breathing capacity test today at the allergy clinic. I knew that I needed a checkup with my doctor to continue getting a couple of my prescriptions refilled; so I called this morning and the receptionist said that Dr. Murthy had an opening at 10:30, so I just up and went. And I now have 75% lung capacity, when four years ago I had only 67%. This is good news. I've been running around a lot, I guess. *laughs*

Lots of socks. From Noro's Silk Garden Sock yarn, it's amazing stuff, and I've made Jet a pair and myself two pairs, and it's all because I got sucked into One Last Thing. The Governance retreat went really well, though, so I'm glad of that, and it was so positive, and we made huge headway into making things more workable, simpler, and more powerful on all sides of the table. I'm so glad of Kimberley Sherwood at Third Sector Group . They specialize in helping nonprofits with fundraising and governance, and she really understands the difference between regular non-profits and churches. There are significant differences, too.

Jet got a snow day for his birthday, yesterday, and we got a whole foot of the white stuff. Our neighbors got stuck in it right in front of our driveway, and Jet and I got on our cold gear, found our shovels, and went out and dug them out and pushed them onto two carpets they'd found to put under the front wheels. It worked, and they got home and into the garage just fine, but we decided that we were just going to hang out in the house all day.

I am done with being moderator of the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Longmont, Colorado. It is official.
