Song: ♫Heaven’s sounding sweeter all the time ♫
Ezekiel 9-12, Proverbs 22:6,
Finished planning meals for rest of week. Decided to go shopping. Legs feeling weak decided to use wheelchair for shopping. Glad I did. Shopping was a chore today. Towards the end stood up to reach something and thought I was going to fall.
Arms ache deeply and sting. Legs throbbing and stinging. Exhausted. Need to rest a while.
Tummy cramping. Low back throbbing. Eve’s Curse appeared early.
Took Dezirae for driving practice after school. She is doing better. She thinks she’s up to finding a calm quiet neighborhood to practice driving now. I’ll have to figure out where that would be.
The more I sit the more I seem to hurt. Yet it hurts and is very difficult to move presently.
Helped Dezirae get a jump on studying her spelling words. She didn’t do too bad. She wanted to keep going but I told her to give me a moment bc my eyes are going cross-eyed. Rested eyes then finished.
I’m exhausted and in much pain. Night meds/vitamins taken. Ibuprofen taken for the cramping pain Took an rx pain med earlier which didn’t even touch it.

530 woke to arms throbbing as if I worked out too much. Whole body stiff and throbbing. Skin sensitive – hair on neck feels like ants crawling on me. Low back throbbing. Cold but feels like I’m perspiring. Stomach cramping.
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Ezekiel 13-15, Psalm 119:64
Entire back extreme pain. Drinking Red Raspberry Tea. Took 4 Ibuprofen.
Today’s been a better day. The printer cleaner came early. Had to Google a video and watch it a few times to understand how to do it (the printed instructions didn’t make sense to me), but was able to get printer fixed. Praise the Lord!
Able to get three more squares across kitchen floor cleaned.
At church, it’s wicked hot. Need to be more fervent in praying for new a/c unit. Started working on putting up new bulletin board. Got dizzy putting up the boarder and lost my balance almost falling off pew. Thankfully able to catch myself by grabbing end of pew. Had to ask for help. Able to get part of it up. Needed to rest some before church started.
Need to figure out display table for recruiting session on Tuesday. Praying God will provide what we need.
Oh, I just had thought. How many ever we get I’ll need to plan on feeding them on Sundays. No biggie just need to make mental note.

530 woke exhausted. Whole body stings and stiff. Sinuses congested. Torso itchy.
Thirsty. Mouth cottony. I didn’t drink Enough y’day. Need to increase water intake.
Ezekiel 16-17, Philippians 4:13, Romans 10:15,
Decided to finish up the grocery shopping and deposit a check after dropping off gals at school. Took me 4 stores and even then I can’t find cannon lids. I’m exhausted and stinging from head to toes. Need to rest a while.
No energy or umph today. Pushed myself to go pick up the gals from school bc I made a promise. Stopped at hardware store and found a lock my niece would like.
Back home and I’m feeling worse I know not why. I help Dezirae with her Lit homework. I push myself to make the coleslaw. My arms are throbbing and giving out. Low back throbbing. I ask Joe to help cook the fish as I don’t have the energy to push anymore.
I assume maybe I pushed myself too hard trying to get floor cleaned. I just know I don’t feel good, great pain, and extremely lethargic.
During my attempt to make dinner, Joe comes to the kitchen and started picking on me. I told him to leave me alone, but he was in a playful mood. I chose reluctantly return suite. At one point, I had thought to kick him in the butt but knew that would cause me to fall so I grabbed the wall to steady my balance to karate chop him only it didn’t play out as I saw it in my head. Joe and Dezirae died laughing.
A little later two choices popped in my head (either to kick him or punch him), I struggled in deciding what to do. Apparently I stuttered in my actions grabbed the wall then ended up punching him in the arm. Of course I’m not strong enough to hurt him but even so they both died laughing even harder. I stopped to think how I might have looked and soon joined them in the laughter.
After our play session, I had to sit down. It drained me so. Joe graciously cooked dinner and even served me my plate. I barely moved from the seat the rest of the evening.
Upon preparing for bed, I discovered that I forgot to take my morning meds again this am (that’s two days in a row. Not good. It is then that I realize that it’s possible I’m feeling lousy bc my BP is elevated. I check my BP. 137/89. I take 1/2 pill of my BP rx.
Sept 4, 2021
Woke in great pain. Whole body stiff, achy, stinging and throbbing. My hands and fingers feel like their so swollen they’re about to explode. Every inch hurts to move. Shoulders ache deeply and feel bruised. Arms ache to bones. Low back ,& rt hi throbbing immensely. Legs ache and burn. Feet hurt. Toes tingly with sharp stabbing pains almost as if being zapped with electric current. Stomach crampy and achy. Sensitive to lights. Slight headache. Still miserable but not as bad as y’day.
Joe must have sensed that I was hurting and began gently rubbing my back.
Ezekiel 18-20, 2 Timothy 1:13-14,Isaiah 48:17
Song: Lord, I need Thee every hour I need Thee…(have to look up words bc I couldn’t remember them in order)
I need Thee every hour
In joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain
I need Thee, O I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee
O bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee
Able to give gospel to a man named Steve today. Praying he gets saved.
In conversation with Joe while our this morning, I had difficulty saying what I was thinking though I really thought I said what I was thinking. Joe started laughing because he knew what I meant. He repeated what I said (I don’t even recall what conversation was even about) . At first I heard what I thought I said but when he repeated it again I clearly didn’t say what I thought I was saying. Ugh. He just laughed even harder. I was so trying to be serious but it wasn’t working. All I could do was just give in and giggle with him.
It gets so frustrating at times when I’m trying get a point across and my mind and tongue don’t cooperate with each other. I cannot explain it nor can I figure out how to usurp it. (dysarthria?)
230p couldn’t go anymore felt like I was about to pass out. Decided to go take nap.
Slept for hour and a half, but felt like I could sleep longer. So tired and weak feeling. While body stinging and aching
Joe offered to cook dinner. I was grateful and let him.

Trouble falling asleep. Bad headache. Took one Excedrin.
Applied Lavender lotion to body and lavender spray to pillows.
