codes, pizza, gym, library, cake, church

What a day- a good day indeed! My morning began by greeting the local neighborhood code compliance team. Our city has been increasing the enforcement of the codes related to the upkeep of your property- you know, the laws that require you to mow your lawn, maintain the appearance of your house, discard trash appropriately, that kind of thing. Today’s inspections were preliminary- there will be a city-wide collection day where you can drop off your trash, then the codes team will start writing tickets for the code violations. Our property had no violations- all credit goes to my parents. They do the mowing and gardening that makes our yard look great. We received a note from the codes team that said “Thank you for maintaining your property”.

Then I got a call from a friend asking me to meet her for lunch. We ate at Minskys Pizza and I have to tell you, it was GREAT. There was a buffet and you know what, they had the BEST canadian bacon and pineapple pizza I’ve ever had. Yum!!

Before I left for lunch, I threw my gym bag in the car, and I’m glad I did. I stopped at the gym on the way home for an invigorating swim- and it was! It felt great and I felt great.

I renewed my library card, which felt great because I LOVE my library!

Then I picked up a cake at Price Chopper for the birthday of friend at church. The cake remained in the car while I ate dinner with my parents, then we took it to church and set up a table with the cake, forks, plates, and napkins.

Church was awesome, as usual. On Wednesday nights we gather and just pray. It’s a simple gathering but so beautiful, so nice to just rest in God’s presence.

Finally the day ended with cake and a celebration of another year lived well.

The only negative thing that happened today occured this evening, when I accidentally deleted all the saved passwords from my computer. But this wasn’t a crisis- I have all my passwords backed up in a secret “analog” file- i.e. not on a computer. It will be annoying to have to reenter passwords for the next few weeks, but that is such a mild nuisance that it certainly didn’t put a damper on my day.

I am so blessed.
