Monday Musings

Well, I posted something on Friday but it never showed up!!!
Things are going well,  settled in to home at Chapel Hill --- again this will not be a "rest of my life" home.  But 1-2 years to get caught up financially.  The drive isn't bad ---gas is cheaper in CH and that is a good thing because it is taking twice as much gas for work, church, etc. 
I was off for a few days and spent some time in Lewisburg --- wne to the Library- wonderful.   Old Rink Emporium - interesting.  Square - quaint. 
Came back to work on thursday and had some much work to do I just got that caught up before I stopped for lunch.
Wanted to go to Ohio, but couldn't make that trip.
Yesterday had a wonderful day and evening service at SH.   Just love those people.
Pictures to follow soon, maybe.

Thursday's thoughts

Okay, the move is over and everything is going great.  The drive is a little long but some people have to drive further to their jobs than I do.   It really puts the miles on the car, but we have cars to get us here and there and back.   Right now I am not getting good gas mileage so I will have my car checked and the tires to see if that helps.   I can see the shadow of a light somewhere down the tunnel financially.   Won't be tomorrow or next month but it will finally come.   I cannot believe how much better I sleep!!! What a plus!
And, how cool is this?   Mr and Mrs C gave me some fresh vegetables --- wonderful.  Then last night Mrs C came over to see if I wanted to go walk with her; unfortunately, I had taken an early shower and asked her to please ask me again.   Wonderful long drive to the barn and back -- great for walking.  No, they never bother me, I never hear them coming or going, but I know they are there if I need them.   Of course I know my former landlord was and will always be there for me.  
Steroid epidurals are helping tremendously and only one more to go!   going back to JoAnn's one night per week --- gas and an occasional meal out.  

I did take some before pictures and will take some after and post them later.  


Until next time . . . . . .Prayer is asking for rain.  Faith is carrying an umbrella.

........go! There.

Okay the move was Saturday, yes, the hottest day of the year so far.   Thanks to Norman, Laff, Liz, Emily, Susan, Walt, Jeanna, Caleb, Zach and Kelsey.   I could not have done it without ALL of you.   98% of everything is put away (except pictures).  Monday morning leave for work --- not out of the driveway-- flat tire!   Norman comes and puts on the small spare and I head to Franklin to Moody's.   Leave for work early ---takes three hours to get to work!!!   Tuesday I am off --- Emily and I notice water in the shop.   Yep --- AC is frozen - bad!   No air in the house Tuesday night ----88 degrees, three fans in my room and finally I put some ice packs in the bed!!!.   I sure hope I can turn the AC back on when I get home or I will be going further in Chapel Hill to sleep at Emily's.  Still no home phone or TV, but all will come together.  
 I can do this. . .  I can do this. . . .  Financially I have to do this, it won't happen overnight but there is light in my future.  

Until next time . . . . When we're able to relinguish all our problems, all our worries and all our sins to the Lord, we are free to live the guilt-free lives He planned for us. 

Ready, set . . . .

Boxes, boxes everywhere.   The move is on........
Trying to keep things separated --- house vs stoarge unit --- can't pack this yet --- so many last minute things. 
Excited, nervous, let's get it over with .......

Had first steroid epidural injection last week,  went well, big improvement,  next injection Aug 4.  
Taking time off from JoAnn's until after the injections and then may just work one night per week --- longer distance =extra gas calls for extra money. 

Until next time  . . . . Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn't permanent. 

Friday Fretting

Okay, the move is on -- lots of boxes packed.  Many more boxes to pack.  Why do I worry about everything little thing.   Wasted time spent worrying.   Much cheaper rent, but getting everything else set up is ridiculous -- the phone (cell phone won't work inside house), PO Box (done), Direct TV --- well, that brings another worry - again --- the delapidated entertainment center.   Just one more move!  Last worry --- groceries --- trying not to go to the store until I move, but then with so many expenses for the move ---just a vicious circle.  

The Spears family made it back home late last night after ten days WEST!!!  Seems everyone had a great time but the best of all was coming home.  Always is.  I can't wait to see the pictures,  I think about the half way point of their trip Emilly told me Susan had made over 500 pictures!!!  They posted on Facebook some mobile uploads along the way that were awesome.  

I am giving up the part time job at JoAnns ---- not helping the leg numbness standing for 5+ hours, too far to drive once I move late at night and cutting hours anyway.   And most of all,  I am missing a lot of time from Southern Hills family. 

Tuesday I start the steroid epidural injections. 90% of the people I have talked to that have received them has had great results anywhere from 1-10 years.  What a relief!
