Hi All
just am trying to jump on here briefly and then get on with other things which need doing. iwill test myself and see if i can control my addiction to this place yet again. LOL at least it is free and doesn't contribute to any appreciable decline in health ...lol.
the sleeping thing wasn't optimum today ...actually I got a couple solid hours of it then had to get up & p/u the minister from the hairdresser's. I thought I was relieved of duty to have to shuttle her to her hairdresser appts anymore since the hairdresser had been coming to her house the last several times. But when I arrived at her door this AM she was happy that I was finally there and must have wanted to escape her house for a little bitas she asked me to take her to the salon ...what I thought was a retired Fri. routine. so much for sleep.
today has a special feel to it as it would have been my grandpa's 100th birthday. I am blessed to have inherited many traits of his. I am sure that I don't use them with the same seeming grace that he didbut I got 'em in any case.
i look forward to the w/e as i expect to be getting to spend a bunch of time (i hope) with my darling. she continues to mend her damaged and surgically repaired "wing" and seems to be getting along ok ...that is until the next medical thing crops up. i sure hope it waits a long while. As she always told me, it is a good thing that she is of Nordic/Irish and a bit of a reach ...but maybe has an honorary genetic degree of German-ess. That last part is almost an inside joke between her and I . bottom line is that when you come from a continually up-ended home life ...it sure seems to be hard to be able to pin down your roots. whatever her roots are though, they are indeed strong.
kind of reminds me of U BG ...if you happen to be reading.
i pray that many, many M's will experience the kind of refreshing changes which will foster healing that only the Lord God almighty can cause to happen. Let Him into your life right now. Push aside all that stands in the way of having a meaningful R with God.
hope you had a meaningful w/end with DW I know you were looking forward to it.

my darling had mentioned to me on Sat. AM that because she was feeling kinda lousy that she was thinkin' that we would probably get together and spend the day on Sun. instead. So as I was looking for something to do, I headed to my barstool around the corner (a bar /grill place) and enjoyed some dinner and a few beers. While I was there I received a call from my darling telling me that she was on her way to my place and that she didn't want to wait until the next day to see me. So I headed home and switched gears to prepare to be "nurse T".
Our w/e was real nice. watched a movie or two at the apt. (on my dinosaur VHS player ..which darling continues to razz me about). prepared meals for her & I ...chicken cheese steaks (dinner) and souffles (breakfast).
and in a milestone moment... I happened to be talking to my mom while my darling was there and since my ma asked how she was doing I kinda handed the phone to my darling so she could answer for herself. This was the first time in a whole bunch of months that my darling has talked to my ma. She really adores my ma and loves her.
Hey T just dropping in. Yes Fireproof was filled with those kinds of moments. I can't wait to see it again. Doing ok. Worried about our BG. Just kinda floating around the town right now. Wht I posted to SC, yes you did make me think. You and a whole bunch of other people. At the time you said what ever it was about not giving up, you made me mad but it has sort of stuck in my head this whole time. Just in there. I don't know if that makes sense but...
So you sound really good right now. Gotta go for a while.
If you focus on the past, you ruin the future. You can only live for today.
