My husband, therefore, loves me, because he went through the DEAD cell phone panic with me. That would be me panicking, not him. He set me up with an old phone temporarily and did the online research that ultimately landed me with a Google Pixel 8A from Best Buy. The setup was amazingly easy, and now order has been restored in my life!
OK, isn't it weird that the word is "panicking" and not "panicing"? What great grammar god decided the "k" needed to be there? I think both versions look strange.
Many years ago, when I was scheduled to attend a retreat with Edwene Gaines, she sent out a "tie up all loose ends" list to complete before we left home. It included such things as pay the bills, return borrowed items, get necessary appointments done or scheduled, clean and declutter, etc. It was so rigorous that my husband asked me if I was coming back home. Remembering that list inspired me to deep-clean the woman cave in advance of my upcoming 6-week trip. The other inspiration was to be able to hang my artwork on the walls. The effort took me three days. I washed the walls and woodwork (furry), made a new sparkly curtain for the window, dusted and vacuumed, pitched and donated a bunch of stuff, and best of all, put my paintings on the walls.
Onward, to conquer more "loose ends"!
