335 need to stop at grocery store on way to pick up Joe. It’s very crowded. Woah!

600 crashed again in recliner in livingroom. Not sure how long I was out. Had difficulty keeping awake. Pain increases and it wears me out. Pastor wife friend admitted to hospital with respiratory failure, double pneumonia , and covid. Praying she gets better soon.

924 been in bed since 9p. It’s been a frustrating exhausting day.

Friend still in hospital. She’s eating soft foods. She has to have her liquids thickened bc she chokes otherwise. IF & I helped feed her her dinner.

Drama involved with people trying to take matter into their own hands about how to take care of her house. Frustration I don’t need. The stress just adds to my pain. Ugh!

Decided to check on my ladies tonight. They’re good. Have to call one in the morning.  Worked little on my blog today. Wrote little more of the devotional and later posted LS memoir to blog.

Symptoms: stinging burning pain through body. Only able to ignore for short periods. Legs throbbing as if I ran a 5k without preparation. Feel like I’ve been beat up and can barely pick myself up. Headache. Periodic sharp jabbin pains randomly in body. Left three little toes cramping something aweful while driving today.

Listening to wholetones music & deep breathing while resting. Need to notate which track is for which ailment. Difficulty remembering. Open Door & The Bridge

Tried to do few chores around house. No energy and dragging. Head pounding & body still stinging. Decided to lay back down hoping to ease headache some. Ended up crashing again for another hour.

I suppose the juicing has a specific vitamin that I don’t regularly take with my meds and supplements. May need to figure that one out.

Bible Reading: Judges 3-5; Galatians 5:22-23; Lamentations 3: 23-26; Psalm 16:1-3

Realized I hadn’t balanced checkbook this month yet and decided to do it. After 4 hours checking & rechecking 10xs & using computer to help calculate. I’m down to $.10 off. I quit!!!

Joe woke me out of deep sleep. I haven’t slept hard like that in long time. Still tired. Legs still throbbing. Hands and fingers numb and tingly. Headache. Lights bothersome.

Fog very thick making it more difficult to see with all the bright headlights. Can’t get over how much traffic is on roads at 6:30 am. Seems to have tripled overnight in last few days. Road work people took stop sign down at end of our street making it difficult for me to see our road. Missed my road and had to turn at next road 2nd day in row. Ugh!

In much pain today but able to ignore for short periods but very scatter brained. I don’t like it one bit.

While I was preparing meds for week, realized I misplaced my migraine prevention rx I just had refilled last week. I remember taking rx bag out of car but I cannot for life of me remember what I did with it. I start to panic bc it’s not cheap rx. I stop to pray and text Joe to pray as well. I text my daughter to ask if she recalled. She does not but offers to pray as well. I try to retrace steps I could remember – nothing. I call pharmacy and they confirm I did pick it up. Ugh! I pray again. I look everywhere in house I think I may have put them. I begin to scold myself but them Holy Spirit gently reminds me that won’t help. After 30 minutes or so, I choose to give up momentarily to finish prepping meds I do have. While doing so, I look over on night stand. Lo and behold they are sitting on night stand! Hiding in plain sight. I feel sheepish. Thank the Lord for His help.

Meds taken. Took 1/2 Benadryl & naproxen

Psalm 127:1-5 –  Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.  It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.  Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.  As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.  Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Thankful:      I am thankful for the children that God allowed me to be a mother to especially when doctor’s told me that I couldn’t have children. I claimed Psalm 37:3-5 trusting God would give me the desires of my heart. And He Did!

Striving to raise your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4) is a difficult task. It is also a very rewarding one.

*Teach your children to love the Lord with all their being and to respect His house and His Holy Word (Deut 6:4-9, Proverbs 22:6).

*Help them hide God’s Word in their hearts (Psalm 119:11, Joshua 1:9).

*Show them how to study and apply His precepts to every day life (2 Timothy 2:15, Psalm 19:7-10).

*Pray for God to surround them with angels to protect them from harm (Psalm 91:11, Matthew 18:10).

*Encourage them to climb every obstacle and become courageous followers of truth (Joshua 1:9, Ephesians 6:10-20).

*Motivate them to live lives of purity, kindness, and compassion that they may shine as bright lights in the world (Matthew 5:13-16, Philippians 4:8, 1 Timothy 4:12).

I added “You’re adopted 2xs so you are chosen and loved” HK with grin from ear to ear emphatically shook her head yes.

Gave lady in church a birthday gift and placed it in her seat so she would see it when came in. She immediately came and found me to thank me. She made comment that I had given her a coloring book few years ago and she’s almost finished it. I totally forgot I had.
