Hear the birds singing outside my window. Reminds me of a song.
♫The birdies in the treetops
Sing their song
The angels chant the chorus
All day long
The flowers in the garden
Blend their hue
So why shouldn’t I
Why shouldn’t you
Praise him too♫
755 talk with principal to let him know Joe needs to talk with him. Boy, I was a nervous wreck.
Decided to get items for teen activity and gas on van. Took me longer than anticipated so on to church to drop items off then on to Dr appt.
1000 Dr appt. Hope it doesn’t take too long. I’m wore out already and need to rest.
Appt went well. Given a bunch of goodies. First goal is to work on increasing my water intake and drink less sweet tea. Already ahead of game because I’m caffeine free, low sodium, not much sweets. Also need to increase exercise as I’m able.
About half way through (I suppose) my brain started hurting and vision started blurring and tunneling. Trouble sitting comfortably in chair had to keep fidgeting. Lots of information given.
I’m wore out and exhausted. Time to go home. Eat lunch and rest a while.
12.30 I feel a crash oncoming. Need to lay down a bit.

Why cannot they put these in Laymen’s Terms so the average person can understand the syntax?

Crashed for about 90 minutes until Joe called. A little groggy when I answered the phone.
Joe had to get mailbox post from Lowe’s for church. Someone destroyed the churches mailbox and broke the post in half. Need to get a new one up.
Home to rest for few minutes then off to church for teen activity. Things didn’t go as planned but went well overall. We accidentally caught the grass on fire. Grilled hotdogs over the fire. Dinner. Devotions. Games. S’mores. Teens that came had fun. Went to go inside to get some water to cleanse palette from the sugar and felt like I was going to pass out. Sat down for a while before getting up to start cleaning up. Glad we had extra help tonight.
I’m exhausted from the day. My rt hip is throbbing intensely. Nerves stinging. Abdominal pain with cramping on rt side. Low back pain. Legs throbbing with periodic cramping in thighs. Feet chilly and stinging.
Thankful for…
- My salvation
- My family
- Praying family and friends around the globe.

650 awaken by pain. Whole body stiff and stinging throbbing. Stand slowly to use restroom. Feet feel like I’m standing on broken glass.
Philippians 1:29; Joshua 12-15; Psalm 112:4
Arms and hands going numb. My back is throbbing immensely. Every ounce of me hurts exponentially.

If I could stay in bed all day today, I would.
Visitation at church. Guys fixing mailbox. I painted bottom part of post with Rust-Oleum paint. Had help weeding and transplanting tiger lilies. Couple of the ladies helped Dezirae fix lunch. I’m hurting extremely all over. Told Joe my pain level is at least an 8. He said he could see it in my eyes.
Dez & Tara worked at friends this afternoon. I stayed until they were done. Worked on meal planning and study for Bible study. After a bit, I decided to move to chaise lounge by the pool. Had an unexpected encounter with a frog. Took short nap.
Once home had to rest a long while and still didn’t feel like doing much. Joe graciously cooked dinner.
My whole body hurts intensely from head to toes!!! Rt hip and low back throbbing. Nerves stinging burning. Hands, wrists, and forearms are swollen and throbbing.
Thankful for…
- Having help with chores at church
- Joe cooking dinner
- This too shall pass

7.00 in much pain and have bad headache
Took Tylenol with my morning meds and niacin and Vitamin C
Psalm 62:7; Joshua 16-18; Luke 8:12
Running slow this morning. Hard to get moving.
Get to church. Set up crockpot for lunch. Start to practice piano and get asked to find Easter backdrop. I cannot remember where I put it (it’s been a year). Someone suggests we check VBS totes. Go to check them. Joe scolds me because he’s getting irritated that we cannot find it. I told him that he had me so stressed out right now that my brain isn’t working and I can’t think straight. I do not like being yelled at especially in front of people. I’m done. His emergency does not have to be mine. I walk away and take a moment to destress.
Decided to go finish practicing my offertory for this morning.
Guys found the backdrop little while later. Somehow it ended up on top of bookshelf in Joe’s office. I have no recollection of how it got there. At least it was found.
Mom acting weird. Dad keeps asking when my biopsy is. Mom gave me a bear hug and didn’t let go for a moment. She told me it was going to be okay. At first I thought she was talking about the backdrop incident, but then she said she knew I was worried. I asked her about what? She said about my appointment and all. I told her I wasn’t worried (at least I wasn’t) because God’s got this. I thanked her. She kept telling me it’s going to be okay. I’m thinking I know it’s going to be okay. God’s got this plus I’ve had a biopsy before it just wasn’t this big before. I’ve decided I’m not going to worry and just pray about it. Besides, when I get stressed out, my nerves increase the stinging burning intensity, which makes me hurt more.
Took 90 minutes nap. Could’ve slept longer. Arms went numb. Feet freezing. Put socks on (took sever hours to warm them up). Headache faint. Nerves stinging.
Choir practice went okay. Choir learning two new songs for Easter. I was able to play them a little as I’m familiar with them, so they could learn the tune and tempo, but not enough to play and sing too. When we were finished, Joe asked one of the guys to pray to close us out. I went to put my hands in my lap but my peripheral vision was off and I loudly hit a note on the piano. I was embarrassed, but we all laughed. Joe went to high five me, but I let him hang stating that it was on accident.
Parents invited us over for dinner. Papa John’s. Yum. Thankful that I didn’t have to cook.
Brain a bit blurred, vision too. I can still see it’s just blurry on the edges. Brain hurts. Exhausted. Nerves stinging throughout body. Muscles ache deeply. Feet tingling and chilly. Sinuses slightly congested. Back throbbing. Feeling lethargic.
Night vitamins taken plus 3k mg C and 2k mg niacin. Applied frankincense to cyst on chest.
Thankful for…
- Having an organist to join in playing hymns at church
- God’s provisions for dinner
- Seeing new converts gett excited about serving God at church.
