Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7 Favorite Blogs: |

| Still fighting a cold so no workout.
Furnace is on the fritz and coffee maker died...suprises for my last day of my DOE Career.
I checkout today at noon. Surreal and bittersweet but SO ready to be done as the challenges are no longer fun but instead draining.
My team is great and will continue to uphold their responsibilites and pursue the mission even though they are still stuck in the current chaos of the governement.

| First workout of any kind in almost a week since getting the cold and congestion. 3 miles slow on the TM at the gym. Felt like I burned off some of the congestion and keep feeling better each day. (Pegasus)
First day Not reporting to a formerly scheduled work day. Pets woke me up to go outside and get fed, then went back to sleep. Had coffee, talked with Kami and went to the gym about 2 hours later than former starting time!
