Wow!! You are a trooper, and sharing so much with us is an inspiration. I can only speak for me of course, but reading of how you push yourself in spite of and thru the pain to do what Needs to be done....DOES inspire me to get off the bed and do something. the old saying "use it or lose it"' is true. i have gotten so weak from the past 6 months of nearly total inactivity that just standing for Church worship and praise wears me out. I am a class assistant instructor with our dog training club teaching a CGC class, and Wednesday night after getting to the class then standing in the ring to check the students and dogs in.....just 10 minutes and I was feeling weak kneed and slightly light headed. You see I had spent about 3 days in bed...hurting and hiding from the world. Gotta get out of that mode. I don't know if anybody else does that. It seems like most people have families and so can't really hide in the bed for days....but it is not at all helpful. The pain meds and soft mattress and warm bankies might be comforting, but the mus=scles don't get used and then it is %(*&*(&^ working back up to any kind of strength and endurance.
My AC was checked & cleaned for the summer on Wed and the man showed me where the bottom of the big box outside is nearly completely rusted thru........the compressor could just bust thru onto the ground any day when it kicks on . It is at least 18 years old. So I am having a new AC & "hybrid" heat pump installed on Tuesday. Well that loan had set me back to having $129 left each month for food, etc, according to the list of bills and "budget" that the nice female loan officer showed me & helped me work out. I'm scarred....well not scarred really....I know my God will take care of me. I just may have to cut out many "luxuries". I hope that Internet and thus DG are not things that I have to cancel to survive. Please add me to any prayer lists that are out there.
I also an going to work every Thursday at the church doing receptionist and clerical type things. My church has very few actual staff members. Most everything is done by members serving. It is so amazing to see how "the body takes care of the body" when God's Word and sharing the truth of His love for us with the world is the focus . anyway...I am exited about this opportunity to serve...much of what I will be doing is in the children's ministry area too, so that is special to me.
Whoa...... am I tired. .... One room is nearly straightened, decluttered and funcional...only 5 more to go,..... well + basement...LOL
G'nite...er morning all.......I pray for each and every one of you to have a wonderful weekend..........I have a request of you, just for fun...please look for a "special moment" this weekend and share it if yo like, after you find it!!
Hugs & prayers,
Sheri
