There is a kitten scratching at our back door. Don't know where she came from. It's hilarious - she will dig her claws into the screen and when I open the door she's hanging on it.

Today will be a cleaning day. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything is neatly stuffed into closets and drawers. LOL! When the surfaces are clean I can be a little braver about about the rest. I can take a little out at a time and deal with it. At least the guest room is in fairly decent shape - except that it needs to be painted.

I have a couple of orders to package up and ship out. Then it's more candle making. I'm running short of jars but will wait to order. I don't like to go into the season in the red. We may be taking on another craft show in Carson City. It depends on what Anna thinks about it. I would have to leave early since I've used up all of my days. But Nina may be fairly close and may want to work it. We'll see.

Thursday of the Twenty-first week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Monica (332-387)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 24:42-51.

Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so. Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is long delayed,' and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with drunkards, the servant's master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish him severely and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
