The cough continues to improve. The windshield will be replaced tomorrow. Today I am home until 5:15pm, when I will pick up a teacher and take him home. Thoughts of a quick run into La Crosse come to mind, but since I will be there tomorrow morning at 7, it seems ridiculous to make the trip today. Office work should keep me occupied for most of the day. Bills to pay, letters to write, organizing, and clean-up to do. Continue to pray for my friends Fran and Levi. Tomorrow, we celebrate Oscar & Therese’s wedding
Birthday greetings to Amber C, Miriam M, and Colleen B. Have an awesome day!

I’m up too early this morning and unable to return to sleep. Thankful for an easy day. Workers to and from the workshop and 1 teacher home. The government shutdown continues for the second day. The cough continues, with discomfort in the lung and kidney area. Not surprising with the force of the cough. I rescheduled my dentist appointment for January. Looking forward to a day off tomorrow.
In 1212, St. Dominic de Guzman saw the Virgin Mary, who gave him the rosary in response to his prayer for understanding how to combat the Albigensian heresy. St Catherine of Siena had a vision where each prayer became a rose of fire ascending to heaven.

Morning! It’s going to be another beautiful day here in the wilds. The trees have begun their journey to fall color and eventually drop their leaves to conserve energy for the winter months. Reminds me of fall garden work to ready it for the fallow time of winter, where it will rest and conserve energy for the new life of spring. The cycle of life never stops moving. There is reason in each season of life.
Today, we remember Roger W Cummings, who passed from this life to the next in 1993. May God have mercy on his soul.
St Jerome, Patron of Librarians, teaches us gratitude for those whose learning benefits and advances all of us. Read Ezekiel Introduction RIAY Day 273: The Glorious Mysteries Meditations for Each Day pg. 391: Christian Modesty…We are often obliged, in the ordinary course of living or by reason of our position, to see many things which could be dangerous to our spiritual welfare. There are many ugly things around us, although sometimes externally beautiful, which we cannot help seeing. At home, on the street, in society, almost everywhere, we meet persons and things which constitute a threat to our virtue. What are we to do? We must see, because very often we cannot help it, but we must never stare.
Good Morning! Today ends the month. How quickly it has passed by. As I look at my to-do list, I realize hardly a dent has been made in it. I could blame it on illness, but although that is a reason, it also goes without saying that I wasn’t fully committed to getting things crossed off the list. I’m finding that those things that I used to do without a thought have now become quite the chore. I dislike realizing I am not able to complete things I would not have given a thought to just a few years ago. Copy work has been completed and is ready to deliver. I head to Wautoma today with 6 people who have medical appointments. Hopefully, I will be home at a decent time. The man is off to Arcadia.
Sts. Michael, Gabriel, & Raphael…Archangels, remind us that we are never far from God’s protection and healing.

It is my day to pray for the CmomC. Let me know what you need. Please continue to pray for my friends Fran & Levi.
Monday has arrived once again. The last Monday in September. On Wednesday, we will begin a new month. Perhaps now is a good time to reflect on the past month and identify areas where you could have been a better friend to Jesus. Where your life could have done something different to give greater glory to God. Go to confession with your sins, receive absolution/direction/and prayers to become a better person. My day today will be relatively easy. The plan is to be in the office during workshop hours, printing a local family newsletter. My cough has improved considerably, with the hope that it continues to improve. This has been a long haul for me.

A letter regarding 3 separate clinical notes after care at Mayo was written and in the mailbox. A letter of complaint regarding “the scheduling employee” is in the making. She was less than and tried to make it sound like I was being difficult when all I was doing was asking a question regarding a notice to make an appointment. This led me to check the aftercare notes on 3 separate appointments, which were inaccurate in verbage and content. How unprofessional of a medical facility to fall victim to the use of pronouns and then use them in clinical reports. I was listed as they/them, which is very unprofessional and inaccurate. I don’t use that woke crap in anything; it’s mentally unbalanced and totally unprofessional.
Please continue praying for God’s Will regarding my friends Fran and Levi.
The last book arrived to complete Naomi’s order, which will be delivered on Monday. New order to be placed today for Roman’s supplements. Still need a haircut.
The cough reared its ugly head early this morning. Going on 4 weeks with this thing. Nothing seems to touch it. Apparently, an appointment with the doctor regarding it isn’t going to happen.

Good Morning! Shrouded in fog here again this morning. My coffee tastes exceptional this morning; bold and aromatic. 2 copy jobs have been completed and are ready to deliver I slept through the night, and coughing was minimal Please continue to pray for my friend, Fran, with stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and my friend Levi, who has a terminal brain tumor. I conducted extensive research on the Wise Phone II, and I believe I will be purchasing one from the company Techless. It does everything I need a phone for at a decent price. While on the subject, for parents who want phones with no social media, etc., there are many available for kids. Breaking news on former President Obama, will post when I know what it is. Today will be an easy one. Picking up workshop workers and 9 & 4 with a short pick up and drop off in between, and a teacher pick up at 5pm. Oh, and one more thing, for those who may need the use of a commode for a while, Bethel Homes (Helping Hands) in Viroqua has a limited supply that can be borrowed without charge. Yesterday morning, as I was rushing around, I found an envelope holding photos. Imagine my surprise when I realized they were the “Slater” side of my family. Looking forward to getting them scanned into the family history.
Morning Offering given… Jesus, let me live for you. Jesus, let me die for you. Jesus, I am thine in life and in death.

Morning… -hang on a minute, need to refill the coffee cup -breathing is easier this morning, for that I thank God -my day is complicated today with a home everyone is on time and doesn’t dally attitude -my priorities are skewed, time to get them reordered -unbelieveable amount of scam/spoofing calls, 117 (yes I’m on the Do Not Register, have blocking app, etc) in less than a month. All from or related to United Tax Consultants or some Financil advisor (yeah right) using local numbers to get you to answer and then giving you a toll free number to call. I spent much time yesterday filing a complaint against each one and noting in my blocked call which company used what local number. They even leave a message is that bold or what? This is reason enough to do away with a cell phone. Add the health issues that they cause should convince us to rethink the use of them as in perhaps going back to dumb cell phones. Is that even possible? YES it is! WisePhone II (minimilist phone) will be checking that out. -haircut, I need a haircut desperately but time just seems to slip thru my fingers
