Inspired by another's blog
Outside my window...sunshine, blue skies, flowering plum tree, tall pines, birds chirping.
I'm thinking... of how pain can really level a person. I am having trouble moving. Too much back pain to sit for more than 10 minutes or stand or walk. I missed church. Paul had to manage with a spare helper. Also thinking of Amy and her upcoming delivery; my parents who just celebrated 49 years of marriage on Friday; what a cool date today is, 10.10.10.
I am thankful for mobility, which I've taken for granted until the past couple of days.
From the kitchen came a Qdoba burrito which the family was nice to bring me. Goes well with 800 mg ibuprofen.
I'm wearing a sleeveless blue top with roses and brocade that belonged to my Granny, and a pair of brown sweat shorts that ruin the beauty of it. But it's comfortable.
I am creating... a large impression of my body on this bed by staying here to recover with a heating pad.
I am reading... Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream.
I am hoping...to get a chiropractic appt tomorrow and be well enough by Tuesday to take a meal to a new mom in our church.
I am hearing... the fish tank motor humming, and occasional outbursts from the basement where my guys are glued to a Ravens/Broncos game.
Around the house... I am slowly decorating for fall. I will not be ready for the Autumn Tour of Homes tomorrow. Just can't do it.
One of my favorite things... is a Sunday afternoon nap.
A few plans for the rest of week... if I can sit,walk,stand, that is:
1) buy mums
2) make pillows for the family room
3) teach a second lesson on Van Gogh and have the students do a picture of their bedroom, using oil pastels.
A picture thought I am sharing...These Scrabble tiles were the ones I happened to pick when playing a game with Barb out in Kansas.
My parents met at KU, and I'm sure they're waxing nostalgic since they are in KS at the moment. Whenever I am feeling the need for a nurse, as I am today, I say to myself (and sometimes aloud as I moan in pain), "I want my mommy." She was going to KU as a nursing student when she met and married Daddy. They moved to MD on their honeymoon, arriving on 10.10.61.
Oooh! Oooow! Please rest to get better. Interresting love mates meeting facts! Blessings as you heal.
