I laughed so hard...it would be a crime not to share...

What may not be too obvious is that you click on the picture to get to the funny cat video. Or maybe it is... though this picture is cute too...

I...have a column?

David did a search on my first and last name and came up with some pretty weird stuff. Makes me want to change my name!...not that I will, of course. But, just in case you're one of those name-searching people... and you happen to know who I am. I'm not the one promoting healing ones-self of psychological problems by tapping on emotion points (sounds like a twisted form of trigger points, which does help muscle problems...).

Taking a break

Well, it's lunchtime here. The kids are gladly avoiding the next bit of schoolwork, and I've finally updated the second to last bill to our new address.... I hope. There's one I can't seem to contact to save my life. *sigh*

In recent news, we are now a two rabbit family. David is a pushover for me with tiny bunnies and I'm a pushover for tiny bunnies. We should know better than to visit the pet store...

David decreed that our latest bit of fluff should have an impressive name, "like one of the Caesars or Warren Buffet." So, little Buffy Augustus enjoys a name big enough to rule the world and is completely sweet and lovable anyway. If only it were always so with such names...

It looks like we'll have the floor installed with our "economy improving tax return" I knew it was a good idea to have kids! LOL I'm still hoping we'll re-drywall the ceiling in the dining room, but we shall see. We've done nothing in there but clear it out and set up a table and chairs to eat on. It's not even painted!

David fell off the ladder painting last weekend. I came home from a quick grocery run to find him flat out on the hallway floor. It gave me a bit of a shock, but he swears that he's perfectly fine and his back hurts just about the same as usual. Considering I'm certain he knocked himself out, I'm just glad he's acting normal. I nearly called the ambulance, but he was awake enough not to allow it. Oh, well.

AND... that's all folks!

For now.

Present!

My dear cousin, L, was so kind as to send me a lovely set of the above tins, except they are a beautiful red (and I couldn't find a pic of red ones online). I am so happy! Unexpected and undeserved gifts are way better than birthdays and Christmas. Yay!

better now...

I'm so relieved to have improved. I'm absolutely sure it was all the prayers that did the most good... ok, so it wasn't your prayers that did the actual work (because that would be kinda magic-y somehow, I don't claim to understand how prayer works), but God has improved my condition immensely and you can know you participated in the grand plan.

Mom recommended a different allergy medication to take before bed, and I've slept well for the last couple nights. I'm no longer jittery, though my nerves are still telling me that my body doesn't like all I've done to it recently. In general, though, feeling is returning to my fingers, back and toes, and I no longer have the cotton-bound, distant sensation that plagued me over the last few weeks. If anyone knows of research on vitamins or veggies and fruits that specifically aide the nerves, I'd be interested in reading it.

My doctor concluded several years ago that my family (on dad's side) has Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome (a hereditary degenerating nerve thing, not severe, but annoying) and I'm noticing that the effects change with my health. And... oh, look! there's a blood-test for it now! I didn't want to go through any more annoying tests back then, because they stuck pins in me and tested to see how the electric current traveled. I decided I didn't want to go through more for an official diagnosis. I can handle a blood test, though. Shall have to mention this to my doctor.

Anyhow, I appreciate the kind notes and sympathy which have helped me through the emotional bit of feeling not-at-all-well. It's wonderful when people WISH they could come take care of me, even if they actually can't because they're too far away or pregnant or whatever. I love having friends and family like you guys!

And, in additional blessings... two friends came over and helped me plow through a bunch of boxes today. I really don't know why I have so much stuff. I shall have to make some trips to drop boxes-full off at Goodwill. However, it's been wonderful how many people have come alongside and compassionately helped with this whole move and renovation process. My church is awesome!... as in, the members really do their best to live Christ. I am so thankful for the chance to see Love shine through others. It's beautiful, and I only hope I will jump at the chance to shine in such a way.

Pray for me

Something is wrong. I'm not sure what, but the medications the doctor gave me are affecting my body in strange ways. I'm done with them all as of two days ago, but they are still in my system, affecting my ability to sleep, breathe, live... I cannot breathe deeply enough, nor think straight, nor fall asleep for longer than fifteen minutes at a time and I'm going insane! I have enough nervous energy to keep fifteen small children running, yet my whole body hurts so much.... I long to just rest and I can't, quite literally. There is not enough air, and it is, all of it, dry. I don't know what to do...

I am soooo sick.

Princess was sick for several days. Pixie and I just got it. I ache everywhere, and basically no work was done today. Boxes are still to the ceiling. Email me if you want my new address. I'll get around to a general email once I feel better. The computer is stacked on a shelf in the living room, waiting for us to install the desk it will live on. Will I ever have energy again? My hands are numb to the shoulders... wait, in short... my arms are numb, so are my feet.

Hurrah! We have a new house and my kitchen is painted, but no pictures will come until I can get the lens of my camera unjammed/bent. It was carried up the stairs and fallen on whilst open, and come to find out nobody has camera shops anymore. I hope Best Buy is up to this.
