Hi. I've missed you.

It's Sunday evening. I'm back from taking Fourthborn home. We had a good visit. Virtually nothing got done in the garage while she was here, but what did get done, she did.

I prayed and pondered all the way home, and the only thing that came to me was to come here and make a list.

Things I want/need to do:
  1. Study the New Testament.
  2. Not neglect the Book of Mormon. (It's definitely taken a back seat to "Come, Follow Me.)
  3. Pray without falling asleep, or wandering off mentally.
  4. Make music.
  5. Mend/embellish my clothing (boro/sashiko/visible mending).
  6. Clear off the fallow side of the bed. This is somewhat urgent, as the plumber is coming tomorrow to unplug the sink in Middlest's bathroom and make that commode stop spontaneously flushing and get my shower to start draining again. I don't want him to get caught in an avalanche.
  7. Clear a path on the floor in my room, also relating to access for the plumber. And my general mental health.
  8. Read for information. I'm three months behind in The Economist.
  9. Read for pleasure. I keep putting things on my Kindle. I have no idea where my Kindle is. Probably on the fallow side of the bed.
  10. Learn to draw.
  11. Blog.
  12. Make most of my own jewelry.
  13. Buy more Gudrun Sjoden.
  14. Minister to my elusive ministering sisters.
  15. Sleep.
  16. Exercise.
  17. Spend more time in the temple.
  18. Exercise (that would be a need, not a want).
  19. Family history research.
Rinse and repeat.

I asked Heavenly Father what His priorities are for me. Still waiting for an answer. I should probably take that to the temple in the next couple of weeks and ask again. Meanwhile, I'm going to pop on a New Testament podcast or related General Conference talk and knit. Later (probably much later than I'd like), gators.
