Wednesday Morning

It's Wednesday morning and I've been stewing in self-pity for several days.  I had a very painful procedure/test on Friday morning and haven't felt well since.  Addin insult to injury, I also have to have my gall bladder out.  I haven't really wanted to talk about this too much, preferring to wallow when possible.  I've been online some, even wrote in my other journal.  Fortunately, I can't stand this another day.

I'm getting up to work on some things around here.  I don't care if it hurts, I've had enough.  I need to do laundry and perhaps cook a meal today.  We did go out yesterday to buy a vacuum cleaner for the new house.  It was all I could handle.  I came home and took a 2-hour nap.  Boy!  My life is exciting!

Rob and Andrea have been wonderful.  They have pampered me no end.  Of course, Andrea has an ulterior motive . . .she thinks if I'm sick I won't make her study.  Poor kid was sorely disappointed.  Rob just wants his wife back.  At least I'm not too grumpy. 

Saw the house again yesterday.  It's coming along.  Hank put a deck on one side so we won't fall through to the shop.  Looks real good.  He's going to buy white cabinets for the kitchen, which suits me fine because I'm going to make the room bright by painting trim chinese red.  Don't worry, there's not too much trim.  I'm doing the room in chili peppers.

He's also ready to finish up the bathroom in the next day or so.  It's really small, but the tub is great - an old cast iron tub that's plenty deep.  I will be a happy camper.  Our pastor's brother brought carpet for the rest of the house.  Mostly it's on the brown side, but one good sized piece for our room is hunter green - my favorite.  Think I'll do our room in jewel colors.  I can't wait to share pictures when it's done.

Thanks to all who wrote with prayer support.  I've really needed it these past few days and just knowing that you thought of me was a blessing.
