hibernating

When I turn my computer on after a long time away, if I did not turn it off, the screen says hibernating in those few seconds before it goes back into wake up mode.

After I shake the mouse of course.  Now, I am trying to shake my own mouse.  Labor Day is just another holiday in the south, let's have a day off good, but here it's like a signal to batten down the hatches; winter is coming.  So we decided to make the best of it and go out of town.  Didn't get far, 80 miles, but we got close to malls, theaters, and Sonic, so we were happy.  As we were coming home tonight, arriving at 9:00 p.m., I couldn't help noticing it was full dark.  The days are shorter.  We used to come home from a day of gallivanting in Greensburg and get home at 9:00 in daylight.

That's in June.

At any rate, it was good to be away from working, from the house that I am always cleaning, from the office I am always in.  I don't know that we accomplished much other than of course I bought school supplies at Target for 75% off.  I have always been a lover of school supplies and Target has the coolest.

So no progress spiritually or economically or educationally.  Just vegged out.  Sometimes I think of Job.  Those days when all he could do was sit and scratch what itched.  I am not as hard up as Job, but the weight of this system is like a malignant boil on all of us, on our hearts, our attitude, our desire to keep going.

I scratched and prayed a lot.  Not much else.  Was it enough?  I want to keep going.  Some days I am not sure that is the case.  Today, yes.

So that is all I have gotten done of late.  I am trying to get back into my usual swing of things tomorrow.  Goodnight, my sisters.
