Wednesdays

Tomorrow's payday, can't wait. My check, however, is already deposited....already spent. Tomorrow night would be a great night for Chinese food, however I have to go to a funeral service for the sister of a good friend. Jim, my aforementioned friend, is paralyzed. He's been in a wheelchair for a long time, the result of a wrestling accident. Even before we moved into our new house, which occurred in August of '06, Jim provided us with a housewarming gift. On the bumper of one of our cars, which was illegally parked in the driveway of our new home, as we did not have an occupancy permit, was a card from Jim. In the card was a gift card for $400 from Rotmans. Jim wanted us to have a new carpet, or run. We bought a rug, not from Rotmans, and invited Jim to see our new house. He hated the rug, said it "looked like crap." Jim was right! Last week Nancy bought a new rug, a nice one from Pottery Barn. This is the rug Jim would want us to have. I can't wait to invite him over to see it. His sister died this past weekend, he's hurt. I'm gonna invite him over for dinner. I want to be of some comfort for him during this trying time. He'll like the rug, but it won't replace his sister. Pray for him....
