Once again I am the lone healthy member of the family. I'm NOT complaining about that. it's just an observation. When I get sick I get sick alone. And God knows (He really does:)) that I deal with enough chronic conditions that I don't need the flu on top of those things. Yesterday I...

The DD and I had a meltdown last night. Mr V phoned and told me the sad stated of Kerstie's Bible grade and graciously offered to allow her a third attempt to PASS her memory verse test. We also talked about her other struggles with other subjects. She's having such a hard time with school...

I got all teary today thinking about our old Callie cat. She's getting on in years - at least 18 years old. She's a beautiful thing, soft fur, nice purr, really gentle. In the last year or so she's really shown her age. Meowing loudly for no apparent reason, in the middle of the night...

I had a hankering for some shopping yesterday and was missing the olden days of singleness when me, Brenda, and Lynne would hop in the car and go bargain hunting at the mall. So I called Brenda yesterday and asked her to go shopping with me. So, she, I, Colette and Kerstie hopped in her van...

I'm getting tired of CF. Ever since my vacation last week I've been on this "spiritual high" or whatever you call it. My time at Camp was so inspiring and so deeply God-infused that I have thought every day since leaving camp about the lessons I learned from the Bible. Such a powerful sword...

Welp...today was the big day of the big test. The colonoscopy:bow: <---that's me feeling like passing out from the fear. Everyone kept saying that the prep is the worst part. Somehow I doubted that. But it turned out to be true. Last night I had to drink the first half of MoviPrep. Not...

I am totally obsessed with my search for a Wii, I guess. I ordered one from Circuit City today, by the way:clap:. Finally found one! Last night I had a dream about a Wii:). We were at a church picnic and they were giving away door prizes. I was hopeful that the door prizes would be Wii...

Last night I had a dream that I was living here in Wisconsin with Mom and Bev and Brenda -- just us. I was excited because my friend Nicole was coming for a visit. She arrived and we all sat in the living room on a sectional sofa -- and just sat there. It was an awkward quiet. I saw that...

I had my barium x-ray today. I got into my hospital gowns and met the tech and the radiologist. It's always embarrassing to have to explain why I'm there, even more embarrassing to admit how long I've lived with my health issue. Why did I wait so long?:sigh: The doc and tech were really...

I had a very horrible dream last night. I can't even write it; I feel it would be wrong of me to write it. Literally. So I'll keep it simple and vague; I don't think I'll forget the plot if I just record the main points. It involved my extended family, a farm in the middle of nowhere...

So this woman is walking past me while I was working and asks where these pencils are that are in the ad she's holding. Of course I wasn't sure, so I motioned with my hand "follow me". In retrospect I could have been more friendly and personable, I admit. So I start walking toward the aisle...

Ohhhh, crud! I just had a small simple-partial seizure. Man, I HATE THOSE THINGS. Now I'm all crabby.

It was a really disjointed dream but there was one clear part which really stung me: I went to a high school reunion in Minneapolis in a borrowed appartment with many rooms. A bunch of people from my class were there and also some from other grades. We were all having a good time visiting and...

It has been a long difficult weekend, and now it's Monday and life feels like it's going back to normal. So what was so long and difficult about it? Well, let's go back to last weekend. Last weekend I ran out of my primidone as has happened countless times before. Like other times, I did not...
