The Party's Over

almost 10 am. laundry done. showers taken. trash is out in the farthest reaches of the back yard for 10 days. should go to work, but um, no.

thank you all for your prayers and support. 6 weeks, we'll see where i am. i want to believe i am cooler already. but i think its the sweat poring off of me being cooled by the ceiling fans. but funny thing is, i don't feel hot inside. not like i did before. so.......

and now....im going template hunting. if you know of any good sites that offer templates w/o banners, let me know.

ciao

glowed out

i didn't glow. I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, i was kind of hopin it happened but glad it didn't. i keep thinking of the three-eyed frogs from the simpsons. makes me want to eat donuts.

so obviously you opened this page and found my new puppy. i do believe he has worms...watch him drag his butt across the screen. what is up with that? i am going to have to take him to the pound. nasty dog. hmmmm.....my mind says go no further with this commentary. LOL

can you believe its 53o am???? mr p brought me coffee this morning. and jolene served me dinner last night. this is the good life. and dont forget the package of pecan sandies....all mine. i can even put my hand in there and get out as many as i want!

c'mon monday!!

Its A Done Deal

i've been nuked.

now i am sitting alone in my room. i have a lap top (borrowed) and a network connection (not mine) that i decided to tap into. i dont know how long this will last. hopefully i will be able to tap into my own before the weekend is out. i have my book, recommended to me by beth...Redeeming Love. and my book, recommended to me by God.... The Bible. i have m y ears for listening to Him. i have my cell phone. and my water. and my flip flops.

i am not alone. God is with me. and so are your thoughts and prayers...thank you.

here we go......

preparations

Friday, 8/22, 7:45 am ~ the pill. thyroid abliteration. i keep saying abliteration, there is a medical term that starts w/ a and sounds like abliteration. it is what i am having...but abliteration works for me.
here's what i have to do to prepare for my 3 days in exile:
1. no eating for 4 hours before the pill
2. no eating for 2 hours after the pill.
basically the same prep for the test i did last week, only i can eat shell fish. i guess cause they are not measuring anything now.....we have moved to the abiliteration mode.
after the pill......its ugly....for 72 hours:
1. away from people 3.5 ft at all times.
2. no contact w/ children (i guess children are not people)
3. no sharing utensils. use plastic and paper
4. remove all trash to remote corner of house for 10 days before disposing. (she said a far corner of the back yard would work, no need to dig 20 feet and bury it.)
5. wash linen, clothing, daily. hot water.
6. no food preparation. YAY! i think mine will be prepared for me and served through the door from a 10ft pole.
7. separate bathroom facilities. flush 2x's. can shower in same shower stall, but rinse, rinse, rinse shower afterwards.
9. no mass transportation
10. no car trips over 2 hours long

ya know, the more she went on the scarier this got. but alas....there is nothing to worry about. besides, if i need to worry, i have three whole days to do it. but my plans are to
1. hole up in bedroom
2. take lap top (borrowed from amelia cause ours is still broke)
3. read redeeming love ( i got the book)
4. bible study
5. prayers ~ send some requests if you have a need
6. listening to God.
and my favorite....the ever-refreshing SNOOZE.

i can do this : )

I'm lovin' it

A mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe. So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her. She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week. As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.

Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?' Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.' The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?' 'That's just Shirley Goodnest,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.' 'Shirley Goodnest? Who the heck is she and why is she following us?'

'Well,' Timmy explained, 'Every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, 'Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'

May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always.
