Yeah, they have all kinds of boxes and they aren’t that expensive. Especially since most that the grocery stores use get recycled before moving folks can get to them.
I bought several boxes at a time, each time I shopped when I was going to move here.
In my conversation with my FD this morning, we decided I’m depressed. Yes. I am. I’ll get through it. It’s just going to take a while. Like knowing I’ve moved up the wait list another notch. Then I can begin to feel like there is life ahead of me.
Remember to use your moon lamp, especially when it’s rainy!
I put away the Christmas tree ornaments, and DP dismantled the tree. I need to sweep and mop the area before we can move back the table that goes there.
Princess Leia emailed me this morning about plans for next week. She’s going to the Finance Council meeting - I think it’s next Thursday - with a bee in her bonnet, fire in her eye, and the Diocesan Guidelines in hand!
I pointed out that the amounts groups like Stewardship or Hispanic ministry are asking for are basically *nothing* in the whole parish budget, and we usually don’t spend everything that’s budgeted. It’s just being mean (stingy, niggardly, chintzy) for the Finance Council to say we all have to do everything out of our own pockets.
Leia said that she was in once FC meeting where a member said, “We can just cut all their budgets in half, and they can hold fundraisers.” In the first place, that shows no sense of priorities as to what kind of activities the parish values - just cut everything - and in the second place, it’s been years since we were allowed to have fundraisers.
