12.15p I almost forgot about my physical therapy apt today. Don’t want to do that again.

1.30p Blair says this was best pt session yet. I have improved over all inspite of the extra stresses the past few weeks (boys’ accidents, taxes, revival, etc). Adding couple exercises to my regimen and also wants me to increase from 2 reps of 5 to 2 reps of 8 as I can tolerate.

1055p thought for sure I posted more today. Extra tired today but pushed through it until I couldn’t. Woke about 430a. Couldn’t get back to sleep though I tried. Read 1 Corinthians 1&2. Prayed a while. Did little research. Played game. Around 6.30 decided to get up and start washing clothes. Planted tomatoes. Prayed over them too as I was planting. Praying for God’s blessings to produce much fruit.

Sneezed alot today. Bad headache…possibly sinuses. Worked on grades til I got brain headache from processing too much info. Had to take long lunch break to rest brain. Ended up falling asleep in chair for half hour or so.

Sinuses congested. Head itches. Tylenol eased headache some. Skin itches. Slight bloody nose. Careful to not blow nose too much to keep from gushing.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Afterwards my dreams calmed and it was like my brain was reliving my life.

1st store didn’t have item I wanted. Had to add stop to route. Ugh!

Mailed gift to a friend, but accidentally flipped last two digits on zip code. Mail lady caught it and graciously looked up correct code. Whew! Avoided mishap thank you, Lord. Done that a time or two before.

2nd store had item I was looking for and two liter cokes on sale! Plus! Decided to take over driving bx traffic to getting too heavy for my comfort zone. I’ve already yelled at Jordon to slow down and stop faster. Nerves feel jittery can’t handle it right now. Don’t want to cause accident.

Spent while looking for black lace at 3rd store only to get frustrated bc they wouldn’t let me use my 40% off coupon. Tired to explain that they let me before but manager wouldn’t budge. I left store without a purchase.

Bought a gift at unexpected 4th store for friend’s kids.

Enjoyed much needed rest and lunch with a friend at 5th store. Jordon helped with shopping by taking part of list and getting items too.

Decided to let Jordon take back over driving. I’m exhausted and wearing down.

As leave from 5th store, get text that evangelist is on way. Instead of going home have to go straight to church.

Called Mom to let her know what’s going on and that they’ll have to meet me at church.

On way to church realize that I don’t know if food got put in mission house bc guys decided to handle it. Ugh! I’m frustrated. Brain is foggy and the errands are taking their toll from the day. Quick prayer that the evangelist is safely delayed so I can check to see if everything is a okay.

Get to church remember air fresheners are still in trunk. Have to go plug them in. Discover I bought wrong ones don’t have receipt or time to exchange let alone remember where I bought them. Think outside box and transfer liquid from new bottle to old bottles. I thank God that I bought extra eggs bc there are none purchased. Thank you, Lord! Quick straighten up and proper place food purchased. Mission house ready.

Jordon brought food purchased for Thursday into church while I was in mission house. My kids are such a blessing. Few tweaks had to be made but he did good overall.

Mom arrives. Begin to work on planters. Evangelist shows up. I must greet guest. Kids take over helping mom. We converse for short while and Joe shows up. I’m relieved. I’m feeling the day catch up.

I’m excited about the greenery in pots. They’re hardy plant. Mom’s had them for long time. I need hardy plants. Have difficulty remembering to water plants. Let alone not at church every day.

Got bit by fire ant on inside rt ankle. Feels like somethings chewing my ankle off! It hurts!!!

Finally home around 830p. I’m exhausted and just.want to colapse.

Just realized no fruit purchased? Ugh! I think I need to type up a general food guest list to keep handy for future use.

Lower lft leg tourniquit tighten feeling with some tingling. Feet tingly. Exhausted and hurting like I tried  to run a marathon collapsed and ended up crawling just to cross finish line.

Good night.
