Cried myself to sleep last night; now it's almost 5:00 AM and I've been up since 4:00 AM. Can't sleep. Sterioids have kicked in and have a fever. Took Excedrin at 11:30 PM to try to stop aching bones. So far this morning I'm not hurting. One of my friends on chemo told me about the Excedrin. I hope it works. Feeling like you have the flu constantly is the pits. Enough whining!!
Spent most of yesterday in Natchez in the chemo room. Donna, Julia, "driver Debra" and me. It was interesting. We ate lunch at the Sandbar [finished at 4 PM] and headed home since Julia had someplace to be. Debra and I went straight from their home to McComb for groceries. I was a tired little puppy when I got home. I have to admit that anything that didn't need refridgeration or freezing is still on the counter. Cereal was the dinner of choice. Found Ed walking out front. He's more obsessive than ME.
Last night I got up and went to the "happy place". I swang until the outside lights went out. It's beautiful out there at night too. A friend of Ed's has a huge telescope he's trying to get rid of. I'm making the call today. I want it. The stars and sunsets out here are so beautiful. Even when you think you have nothing to be thankful for--just look UP.
You may have noticed a sidebar on the right of the blog that says "Follow me on Twitter" or "Twitter Updates". If you're interested in my instant thoughts or quick chemo updates that's where they will be. Jennifer got me into that and it's a fun thing. Technology is amazing and I'm having fun with the new stuff. Check it out.
Four more days until a group of us girls leave for the beach. We're counting the seconds and packing our bags--not clothes, but stitching, scrapbooking, beading, reading, swimsuits, and laptops. We're going to have a fun trip. Oh, and we're taking Dooley!! By popular vote, I might add.
I am looking for a scripture to end this post: These all spoke to me.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Cor: 3:17
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13 [Jen's fav]
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your reauests to God. Phil: 4-6
For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jer 29:11 [my personal fav]
Each one should use whatever gifts he has received to serve others. 1 Peter 4:10 [Debra and I discussed this yesterday---interesting I should read this now.]
Have a very happy, blessed day. That's what I am choosing to do.
