The good part of yesterday: getting to see our son and grandson. I do give all of our children kudos for being good parents. They are all great Moms and Dads.
Some not so good parts:
• Driving on the freeways. It was a bit of white knuckle time for me. Definitely scary out there.
• The letter from the Social Security office. Vaguely worded and without specifics. Only that they have reduced my benefits by $200 / month and I won't be getting a payment next month. And it was unclear whether that was the payment before the insurance deduction or after the insurance deduction. I had a teensy crying meltdown. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how we'll manage since we depleted all our funds for the furnaces. And can't access our annuity for a while.
• The email I received from the Utah Judicial system. Randomly had my name chosen for jury duty. Filled out the form online, received the email that contained all my questionnaire answers - and they were all wrong!! How that got all messed up is beyond me. The good part was a phone number I was able to call this morning and get it all worked out. I slept with some fear that I would be in trouble. The lady on the phone was cute - "stuff happens" she said. So that not so good thing worked out.
Today, though, I feel a bit better. No bad news either via regular postal mail or email. Which was probably the best part of the day. I'm hoping the letter from Social Security is some kind of mistake. If not, well, it isn't the end of the world. We'll figure things out. We saw a movie. Delivered the very last of the gifts to people. (We really pared down this year but still managed to give away quite a few.) Practiced the piano for my organ turn on Sunday. Vacuumed.
I'm so grateful that it was a decent day. A lovely morning walk, some good talks with The Husband, a bit of out-and-about that is always good for feeling part of the world and not isolated. I'm grateful for a day tomorrow without schedules or stress. I'm looking forward to quietly celebrating (in my heart) the birth of the Savior of all mankind. No way to overstate the importance of that occurrence.
