New Plans

We have declared victory!  The CMT test (for mastitis) was full negative. <happy dance> That's right. We beat it.  That's right. We beat it!

Aahhh.   Then we talked with the lab they said that nothing is growing.  They'll let it go for a week, but so far nothing is growing.  It's nice to know that Christina is healthy and our milk is good.

Our septic system is failing and we are required to hook up to main sewer.  It's an expensive project, but it had to be done sooner or later.  We were expecting the contractor to come tomorrow or the next day, but they arrived early ready to work.  The kids love watching the backhoe, but it did mess up our homeschooling schedule.

While they are working we can't run any water down the drain or flush the toilet.   Today we are dedicating ourselves to a field trip day — visits to the library, historical museum, zoo, playground, and out to lunch.

This sewer is like many surprises God throws into life.  I get to choose to put energy into resisting it or energy into enjoying it.  Maybe by the time I die it won't be such a challenge to choose.  Today I choose to enjoy it!
