Cyber-Radio Comfort

I got in the habit of listening to Air America Radio online during the last election cycle. I especially enjoy Al Franken's show (from noon - 3 p.m.) and Randi Rhodes (from 3-6 p.m.) when I have a chance to listen.

Lately, I've needed a rest for my ears to go with my voice rest. So I've been listening to some of the gazillions of stations at live365.com. Some of the New Age channels are my favorites, but there are all kinds of stations. There are some ads, unless you subscribe, but I don't find them too annoying or very frequent. Right now, I'm listening to a channel called "Heavenly Music" and it is what it says. Another New Age channel that I like is "Whisperings" which plays soothing piano music.

Enjoy!

What Friday Is Good For

Usually Friday is my day off, and I'm pretty good about taking the whole day off to do UN-CHURCH-RELATED things. This week is our Vacation Bible School week so I am taking a half day off and then going to do some visitation before Vacation Bible School this evening. There's a lot that can be done in half a day off:

• Exercised first thing
• Listened to Air America Radio and spend a few minutes crying with Cindy Sheehan over lives lost in the war in Iraq -- and wondering if she will get her questions answered because they are my questions, too.
• Ate a very delicious breakfast of egg-in-toast, an orange, and coffee
• Finally watered the two geraniums on the front porch. I kept thinking it would rain. It hasn't. Now, we are expecting severe thunderstorms this afternoon, so I'm not watering anything else until I see if that happens. It's dry as Texas here!
• Cleaned really well approximately 1/3 of the kitchen and got the kitchen window washed (at last!)
• Put in the first of 2 (or 3) loads of laundry
• Updated my web site and am now writing this blog entry

That's it. In case there was any doubt, I'm not an overachiever! I do enjoy a good day off, though, even if it's just half a day.
