I really love this book of essays.  Norris is a poet, and she spends a lot of time thinking about Christians and Christianity in her writings. She doesn’t always come to the same conclusions as I would, but hearing her perspective has been very valuable.  I’ve read this book a number of times.

Eric left for work this morning at his normal time.  He went in late yesterday (so late that someone called, after he left, just to make sure he was coming), but he needed the extra sleep mostly.  He’s not enjoying his job these days; last night, just as we turned the light out, he commented that it was “only Monday.”  It is hard to watch him not enjoy what he does, though, especially because most of the time he really likes his job.  But hopefully, this phase will pass when a lady on maternity leave comes back in a few weeks. 

Yesterday, I ran some errands in the morning.  I got a new library card and a new battery for my phone.  I also finally found a refill sponge for my mop.  This errand turned out to be harder than was necessary.  I checked the mop before I left, which indicated that I should get “Refill Type S.”   So…I go to Meijer, find the mop aisle and discover that the refills aren’t labeled by letter.  Instead, the refill bags say “fits broom 045” or some other number.  So how am I supposed to match my broom (which doesn’t have a number on it) to a refill (which doesn’t have a letter on it).  Grrr…..   Anyway, I did find the right one (good guess on my part), so that was a small victory. 

I also did some laundry yesterday (which means I should iron sometime today!), wrote some, made dinner, cleaned up dinner, watered plants, and talked with my sister on the phone.  It was a good day!

Today, I need to run to the grocery store, iron the clothes I washed yesterday, and clean the bathtub.  It’s my last day of Easter Break, too, so I think I’ll try to fit in some relaxing as well!  Happy Tuesday!
