Thoughts on a clear, cold night

My dear one, 

The stars were so bright when I walked out of the church building after prayer meeting. Despite the cold, I stood there in the parking lot, gazing up at the night sky and wondering if you can see the same stars tonight.

I witnessed a car back up into another car and hurry away from the IHOP parking lot this morning when I was meeting friends for breakfast. I found the damaged car's owner inside the restaurant and gave her the plate number and vehicle description. She went on to report it to the police. That was my good citizen deed-of-the-day, I suppose.

I filled up my gas tank at $2.99/gallon... I'm thankful not only for the decent gas prices in my state, but also for "fuel-perks" issued by a local grocery chain, earning me $0.25 off the per-gallon price today, bringing it down to $2.74/gallon!!

I used a nifty grout product on my bathroom floor this afternoon. It was a project I've been meaning to do ever since moving into this apartment. The floor was acceptably clean by my standards after an initial disinfecting mop job when I moved in, but the grout between the tiles was just not as snowy-white as I would like, so I picked up some "Polyblend Grout Renew" at Home Depot and today's results were fantastic!

For supper I concocted a chicken dish that is a pretty good imitation of the burrito bowl I always order at Chipotle. I even made cilantro lime rice!

So that was my day - profitable and pleasant. Here's hoping yours was too.
Sleep well, sweetheart.
