Wading Through Deep Water

I plan, I work, I pray
But where is God today?
And what have I done, I'd like to know
That makes Him want to bring me low?

As you can tell, yesterday did not start out well, but somehow Fiorella slogged her way through it, despite worrying about her children, losing a lens in her best glasses, and still not having all the bats de-Scotch-taped and put away. One thing that helped was that she worked out all the newspaper anagrams without any trouble, which persuaded her that she still had a brain or two left in her head.

Driving into town also helped Fio's mood. She made herself a list and actually crossed most of errands, although when she stopped at Walgreen's she bought Dove chocolate  bars and Russell Stover Christmas candy instead of the AA batteries she needed.

Sonia Dog welcomed Fiorella home as if she'd just come in from a year-long trek across the Sahara, which always lightens Fio's mood. Nothing like having a i30 lb dog plop itself in your lap to make you feel loved.

Come eventime, Fiorella went through a stack of old paperback romances, grabbed a couple of her favorites and looked through them for the love scenes. Yep, Fio's gearing up to resume her writing career again. She'll probably start by finishing up her Lolly story, which you've read a bit of, but she wants to resurrect three finished but unpublished stories as well. We'll see.
