Today’s Scripture Valentine: Psalm 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
11:38a- Trying to balance checkbook. Not balancing. What a chore! Needed to refer back to last month’s statement and discovered that I apparently threw it away. Now I have to reprint it. Ugh!
12:10a- been working at it for almost an hour brain is blurring eyes too. Need to take a break.
3:00p- finally got checkbook balanced. It was matter of subtraction error along with inverting numbers. Very frustrating, but glad I figured it out. Didn’t plan on it taking most of day. Also, trying to get taxes gathered & ready for CPA.
7:00p- seeing things backwards. Tink I taxed my brain a bit much today.
7:30p- enjoyed getting hugs from several of the kids tonight at church. I look forward to the hugs. They make my day. got a sharp stabbing pain in my back while sitting at the piano had to move to pew during announcements to rest back momentarily.
10:30p- trying something new this year for Valentine’s with my kids – Scripture Valentines. I figure it will challenge my brain and be fun at same time. I’m cutting hearts out of construction paper and writing Bible verses on them and then taping to bedroom doors. I haven’t quite gotten one a day down bc I tend to forget but when I see door and realize the date I check to see how many I need. Spent time catching up tonight so in morning I’ll be on target. I’m even making pkg for son at college and will ship it few days before Valentine’s day as a surprise. Benefits: writing helps with hand eye coordination and focus, scripture help teach truths of God’s word but helps me recall in mind those I previously memorized but have forgotten, and it shows my kids I love them.
10:53p- wide awake but starting to get sleepy, low back pain, rt hip throbbing, feet freezing, hands ache, rt ear achy, headache, top of head hurts where cyst burst recently (using Frankincense oil), tongue more clear today, but still have ways to go. Think I’ve made more progress in last two days than in whole 20 days of taking Nystatin. Center of chest hurting.

Today’s Scripture Valentine: 1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
3:30a- woke up with tummy hurting, rt hip aching, hot, trouble holding things
Trouble falling back to sleep until I was able to play soothing music on a timer.
7:00a- so exhausted hit snooze 3 times.
9:00a- coconut oregano swish, ate gluten free cereal with milk, orange on side. Sneezed hard now I’m not feeling too good. Feeling very weak. Sitting and sipping hot green decaf tea with peppermint and copaiba oil. Wonder if I’ve developed an intolerance to milk. Ugh! I hurt all over. Gotta call Lowes.
Daughter decided to take my temp. It’s 99.5.
9:15a- She proceeds to bring me Vicks and socks. Echinacea, Vitamin C, and zinc. She says, “I’m only doing what you would do for us when we don’t feel good.” What a sweetie.
Told her to give me until 10 am bc I just took my morning meds and almost choked on them. She said ok.
3:00p- Dezirae & I began painting her room today. Able to get one wall and part of another. Just want to keep a promise I haven’t been able to do. Told her it’ll have to be in stages as I can endure. She says she’s just happy it’s finally getting done.
4:08p – The upgrading Dezirae’s room continues…
She is so excited! Can only do it in stages, but I plan to keep a promise. 1 1/2 walls painted today.
7:00p- stinging needle pain
8:00p- it just dawned on me I’m supposed to take the car tomorrow to get errands done for church. I haven’t driven the car since it’s been fixed. Joe says it drives different. I’m skittish to drive interstate let alone with a standard. Ugh! Joe calls Mom to ask for me to borrow car. I don’t want to go to Sam’s on a busy day. I don’t do well in crowds.
10:00p- I’m in so much pain right now. I don’t want to move.
10:35p- took vitamins plus pain rx & melatonin. Headache. Back and arms throbbing. Legs cramping and twitching. I’m exhausted and freezing – under extra blankets though it was a warm day. Dezirae said she was sorry I was hurting, but thankful we are finally painting her room.

1:00p- went on visitation today out in country a guard duck? It quacked me up! Lol! Walked too much got to not feeling well as if I were getting dizzy and nauceous.
Back at church Mom & Dezirae helped me change out the flowers by entrance before we left to go home. I was so wore out that I fell asleep in car on way home. Got home and crashed in my chair for about an hour!
When I awoke made lunch for me a kids.
3:00p- Mom came to pick me up to help run errands for church. Took three stores to find everything we needed. Ended up in wheelchair at Wal-Mart bc legs were give out.
5:00p- Once we got home, I crashed on my chair again. Woke at 5:30 to start dinner.
6:00p- once dinner was cooking I started working on bulletin for tomorrow. Had to make list so I wouldn’t forget things tomorrow.

Writing leyyers backwards etc. Tummy fluttering. Words keep disappearing that I just type not sure how that happens. Leg muscles cramping and twitching randomly. Toes frozen. Feet ice cold.
