Whew! I am so ready for Shabbat! Sabbath Prep was... You know, I feel like I can't even call it that. My *attempt* at Sabbath Prep was anything but.
A quick, unscheduled business call turned into two and a half hours of unscheduled paperwork. ☎️
My 8-year-old decided that Prep Day was a great time for a big arts and crafts project on my kitchen table. ?
My washer broke, leaving me with a pile of soaked laundry that had to go on the line before it could even go in the dryer, which resulted in breaking one of the lines. I spent the next four and a half hours trying to fix the washer.. still not fixed. So, I was unable to wash the load of bathroom wipes and have now created a new load of stinky towels from trying to fix the washer. ??‍♀️
The greenhouse and raised beds were calling my name so I needed to do a little maintenance on those, which took up considerably more time than anticipated but, doesn't it always work that way? ⏳
Full yard pickup became a must since hurricane Ian threw a whole lot of rain our way, starting last night and continuing through Wednesday. Grateful for the rain though, my rainwater tanks were empty. ?️
Definitely seeing the little joys in each bit. The washer is broken because of a single quarter in the drain pump that I now can't get to. It should be a relatively inexpensive fix. But, in the meantime, I'm without a washer for a few days and will have to work on practicing off-grid laundry, a skill I've been wanting to work on anyway. ?

My house is a mess, I'm left with more work, not less. But, I got to the most time-sensitive and pressing matters before the rain washed me inside. The house can wait until tomorrow and today is His! ?

Shabbat Shalom, Faith Family!
