Dear Diary, 

Good morning God,

  • Thank you for this day. 
  • Thank you for snow.
  • Thank you for pet sitting opportunities. 

  • Thank you for sunshine. 

  • Thank you for prayer. 

  • Thank you for women. 

I love you!

I awoke at 11:30 PM. I could smell that Raymond had had an accident. I let him out and cleaned it up. Then I played wordle and connections and wrote my blog. At 1:30 AM. I put on a sleep meditation and drifted back to sleep. I woke up several more times in the night to let Raymond in and out then I officially got up at 8 AM. I made Angel breakfast and made tea for myself. I stripped the bed and started the sheets washing. I did some stretching and listened to positive scriptures. Then I took Raymond on a morning walk. It was snowing again and was warmer than yesterday being a sweaty 11° F 😂. I let Raymond go the long way and it was a great walk. Here is a video: 

Back at the house, I put the sheets in the dryer and started a load of our clothes washing. I cleaned up and packed our food. Then I sat and watched a movie with Angel called That Christmas. When the sheets were dry, I made the bed and put our clothes in the dryer. I loaded our food and supplies in the truck and when our clothes were dry, I put them in our suitcase and we got ready to leave. 

I drove across town to do a cleaning opportunity. It took me 3 attempts to get up their steep driveway but I knew I could make it and I did. Angel did extra schoolwork while I cleaned. The house is a family vacation house, so it is never dirty and I just tidy it up. It takes me a couple of hours and I clean it once a month. 

After cleaning, we went to eat at a little pizza place called Growlers in McCall. I was happy to see that they had a salad bar and that’s what I ate. Angel ordered a personal cheese pizza. We waited a half hour for her pizza and it still hadn’t come. We were the only ones there and it seemed to be taking longer than it should. No one was up front so I finally went and stuck my head in the back room and asked about Angels pizza. They had forgotten to make it and said it would be out in 5 minutes. We waited a while longer and a deer looked in the window at us. I think the deer wanted to order a pizza but saw that we were still waiting for ours and decided to go somewhere else. I was feeling frustrated about the pizza and wanted to go dig my tip out of the tip jar up front that I put in there when we paid 😂. Then the Holy Spirit reminded me that everything is happening for a reason and it was all Ok. 15 minutes later Angels pizza arrived and she scarfed it down. 

Next, we went to Zim’s hot springs. The pool wasn’t very busy thanks to it being Super Bowl Sunday. Angel found some kids to play with and I swam laps for a while. Then I stretched and floated on my back fully relaxing my body. I floated around enjoying the warm water and chatted with a few regulars that are there often, like us. 

On the drive home from Zim’s, I talked to my older sister on the phone. I pulled over before I entered the canyon and finished our conversation. The rest of the drive Angel and I finished listening to Nancy Drew and The Quest of the Missing Map and started listening to Nancy Drew and The Captive Witness Mystery. 

Angel helped me carry our stuff into the camper and I put everything away. Then we played a game of Sorry. After the game, Angel read aloud Hide and Snake and I read a chapter of How To Eat Fried Worms. We brushed our teeth and went to bed. I put on a sleep meditation and wrote my blog. At around 9:15 PM, I drifted to sleep. 

Thank you for reading my blog and being a part of my life. I appreciate you. 

Love, Victoria
