Sunday Gratitude – 22.VI.2025

It’s nearly 11pm, and it’s still over 80℉ outside, which is really, really unusual. We went from barely spring to full-out summer in the blink of an eye. My home cooling system has been on its “last legs” for the last couple of years, but it actually performs decently when it’s over 85℉ or so (isn’t being rained on, and preferably is run in the daytime) and I am extraordinarily grateful that it’s getting us through this heat.

I am also very grateful that the microwave is still functional after having been overheated after somebody tried cooking rice in it.

I am grateful to have had a couple of days so far with minimal driving, and I am thankful that grocery pickup is so widely available.

I don’t want to be doing too much stuff over the summer, but it seems like if there’s nothing going on, it breeds discontent, so I’m grateful that we’ve got some options that will not cost very much.

I’m thankful we made it through church today, no air-conditioning and everything. It was less the lack of air conditioning than other things that were very frustrating, but the heat did not help.

I’m grateful for a little one who still wants to snuggle, and friends who will listen to my frustrations.
