Nice!

19 April 2006 by kristarella

Please visit my renter, Supermom, via the spare room.

I have had an excellent evening. I had a fairly relaxing day and this evening we had steak for dinner, hubby had beer and I had wine. Then we had smoked cheddar which goes very well with the Shiraz I was drinking. Then we had gelato, creme caramel and vienese flavours. Later we had tea and some more easter chocolate. Throughout all that we watched Batman Begins. Then we played Battleship1 and after that, a game called Sorry. Sorry is quite like Ludo with a few extra rules, including cards with instructions instead of just rolling a dice.

Tomorrow I’m going to work. I was dreading it because I have to do this stocktaking type thing of all the chemicals we have but it’s not as easy as counting because they won’t all be on the list. I hope it only takes a day because I’m determined to take a holiday in my holidays!

Tomorrow night I’m visiting my Pop (Dad’s dad) in hospital. He’s been getting rapidly worse in health these last couple of weeks. I thought I’d better visit him before he dies, I have no idea when that will be. My family is going tomorrow night so it will be a good opportunity for me to go because I won’t have to go by myself and I’ll have transport, I’m not sure where the hospital is.

I feel strangley detached from his health and situation. It must be miserable for him and I feel bad for that but in a way I feel that death is inevitable and probably better than his current condition of life. He’s made his decision about God, I’m not sure what it is but apparently he told a neighbour who asked him that he’s sure of his standing before Him. A few months ago I had a very large attack of responsibility because I wasn’t sure if my Nan and Pop would go to heaven. I realised that Nan has been going to church all her life and if she doesn’t understand by now then I can’t make her, if she does then – good. I also decided that I would see that my parents understood Jesus and they in turn could reach out to their parents if they saw the need. I discovered that Mum hashought about these things and that the best thing I could do was pray. Those of you who trust in Jesus Christ, I would appreciate a prayer for my parents and my grandparents, that Mum and Dad can cope with the ill health of their parents and that God will have mercy on my grandparents.

It’s very nearly my bedtime. My leg really hurts which is dumb because I’ve been sitting alot today.
