You know it's been too long

when your computer doesn't remember the web address to your blog page. I had to type out the whole thing to get to the right page to make a new post. I knew this time would come. I started off so strong in writing almost daily, but it was bound to flop.

Right now I'm listening to Spanish worship music on allworship.com, which has been playing while I've been pack---oooh!!! I have clothes in the dryer!!!!

That was a little too close. I almost left some of my favorite comfy clothes--What a terror that would have been! So yes, I leave for Texas after four fast weeks in good ol' Cali. I am returning with a new addition to Waco, however: my sweet cat, Charlie. Mom was ordered by the doctor on Thursday to get rid of him because her allergies have been badly acting up. So he's flying with me to Texas, Lord willing. The plan is to have him in a small carrier with me on the plane, under the seat in front of me. I am praying for peace for him, patience for fellow passengers. And for no one to be close by with cat allergies. Though mom is sick mostly because of Charlie, she's enjoying her one last night with him sleeping cuddled up next to her in bed. This whole thing is exciting, but sad. I am very much looking forward to having Charlie curled up on my lap in Waco while I study, and just to be a sweet companion. But I'm very sad he won't be here in Bakersfield anymore. He's easily spooked, and doesn't adjust quickly to change....and yet, it's likely he'll be moving about once a year for the next few years. Lord knows I don't stay put. Maybe I can take him to Peru....hmmm.....

So if you read this any time on Saturday, please pray for us. It's going to be a looooooooong day. Praise God for flexible and understanding roommates and for selfless people who pick me up and and take me to the airport (my parents and Yvonne this time).

I'm one blessed turkey.
