February 24
4:00 woke to use restroom. I’m in much pain all over. Pain level 7/8. Nerves stinging needle pain and throbbing throughout body. Eyes watery. Sinuses congested. Started praying for people.
4:10 Joe came to give me hug and kiss before leaving for work. Asked why I was awake. Told him I’m hurting really bad all over. He said he wished I’d stop hurting so much, but you did say you did too much y’day. Told him I know me too. God has a purpose for it all but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt in the meantime. He said I know.
4:15 took pain Rx and 2k mg Vitamin C.
Jeremiah 29:11
Gotta get those pesky taxes finished being prepped so we can get our tax refund so I can try to see a different doctor.
Indigestion kicking in. Took 2 ginger capsules and one tums.

Numbers 3-4;
800 Take 45 minute nap
Drink chocolate milk with D.E. and chia seeds. Praying it will give me the energy and stamina I need today.
Trying to get things ready for church tonight as I have a funeral to attend today.
I’m getting floaters in my vision. It’s irritating me more than usual today.
Nice chat with my sister.
1100 pick up gals from school. Attending funeral today for WP. My Dad is preaching. He’s been out of the loop for a bit. Praying all goes well.
It went well. Could tell Dad was out of practice. I think he behaved himself fairly well. Grandma was a bit stressed. She explained what happened later. They ended up asking Pastor Sam to do the welcome and opening prayer. Lynn sent us home with leftovers from the lunch.
We certainly have not been without food. There may have been days we didn’t have things I wanted but never without what we needed. Thank you, Lord.
God provided several cases of shelf stable food at church. Had fun sorting through it all before services. We were able to offer food to the church family after church tonight. ☺️bSupposed to get more food donated tomorrow. Praise God!
1030 trying to study with Rae for exams tomorrow but we’re both falling asleep. Told her we’ll get some sleep and get up early to study.
It’s been a long day. My brain is over taxed and hurting fierce. Exhausted. Nerves stinging througo
throbbing. I hurt from head to toes. Low back throbbing. Neck hurts.
Night meds taken plus 2k mg Vitamin C and 1/2 pill of relpax for the migraine.
Thankful for:
1. God’s provisions
2. Church voted to increase Joe’s pay
3. Able to bless others with food that needed it
February 25
530 woken by alarm. Twas having bad dream (going to use bathroom as I approached bathroom I tripped and fell face first into the toilet and busted my face up. Blood everywhere. Not good. I have to have surgery to fix my face.)
Eyes so blurry I cannot read my phone to snooze alarm.
Body very stiff and throbbing intensely. Arms throbbing as if I did an intense workout. Legs throbbing but not nearly as much.
Takes good 20 minutes for eyes to clear up enough to be able to read my Bible.
Matthew 22:37-39; Numbers 5-6; 2 Samuel 23:14
A least my headache has eased.
1000 while working on uploading posts to my blog Jordon is cracking up belly laughing. He decides to play the video he’s watching.

I crack up laughing. Sometimes the auto correct feature is so idiom like!!!
Finished a week of blogs plus a recipe blog for today.
Made couple phone calls – CPA & Dr office
A friend tagged me in a post about someone being struck by lightning through their computer inside.
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10160019330131636&id=141321506635
I was able to reply on said post giving some facts and put plug in for a Facebook support group.
Running errands for church with Joe and Jordon. Also looking at laptops for Jordon for college. Took longer than I thought.
Dezirae had to stay after school to register for ACT. Timing wasn’t expected especially with Teen Activity tonight.
Ran home to pick up rest of items then off to church.
Joe got things set up while I started cooking and prepping dinner. Teens enjoyed the walking tacos. Brownies kind of dry. I overcooked them. I’m in so much pain and exhausted. I will not be surprised if I crash shortly after getting home.
Jordon says he’s starting to get concerned about some of the symptoms he’s exhibiting now almost 5 yrs later after the LS – Forgetting things easily, headaches, in pain a lot, not sleeping well, dropsies with his hands, etc. I did my best to console him.

Unexpectedly need to take gals to school last minute. Happen upon a bad accident on route. Looks as if a motorcycle ran into front quarter panel of dark gray small crossover vehicle turning lft onto Nan Gray. He appreciates hit going pretty fast. Said a prayer for all those involved. Called school to let them know gals would be tardy. They were aware of said accident. No tardiness to be given this morning.
850 Mom come over to ask me to call Jakob to make sure he was okay. She received a disturbing phone call from a scammer making her think that Jakob was involved in a bad accident and possibly facing jail time. Needed her to mail a change of clothes and cash overnight to keep him out of jail. She called police in town and in Jonesboro. Jonesboro police told her it was a scam. But told her to call her grandson to make sure he was okay.
Talked with Jakob. He’s doing good. Explained what was going on. It relieved Mom.
