Slow Plans.

 Slow Plans.

 

For some strange reason, the old woman woke up at a bit after 4 this morning and had trouble getting back to sleep. So, this afternoon a nap happened. Now we may have a vicious cycle started of not being able to sleep because of the nap. Oh well. It really felt necessary.

 

My Chart is one of those features from the local hospital that lets a person know the results of testing or whatever. Seems arthritis is making the edges of the knee bones harder for some reason and little bone spurs are growing in there. Such fun. Mostly what it told me was the same thing we figured out last year—arthritis. Tomorrow a knee injection with a steroid may help—or not. It isn’t much fun to get the injection, but the pills tend to make me want to eat everything in sight! Horrors. It is really slow going to lose weight, so producing more appetite is just counter intuitive.

 

Maggie Sewell came by this morning to pick up eggs and got home just as the repairman drove up. Their heater went out while we had that nice “cool” cold spell. Maggie said that sweats were invented for such as that. Even so, it is not comfortable to run around trying to stay warm in cold weather.

 

Have some throw rugs on washing and have tried to clean the major dirt out of the living room and kitchen. It feels a bit impossible, but can’t just leave it there! It is not just these two dogs that track in mud. The old woman does a pretty good job of tracking it in as well.

Blake, the lawn guy, is supposed to be here Thursday. My place certainly has plenty that needs to be cut. One type of “clover” is actually a type of geranium, but so far it has not had any flowers. Have thought maybe it would be best to just let Blake cut the stuff that is not this tall green stuff. Have plenty of blue bonnets that need to be avoided as well. Not sure if his helper will understand not to cut the bachelor buttons and other flowers. Just will hope.

 

It seems we have more volcanoes popping out all over the earth. It feels as if we are sitting on top of a slip and slide with gopher holes everywhere underneath it. Those volcanoes are causing more earthquakes, or maybe the earthquakes are causing more volcanoes. Which do you suppose it is? Not too overly pleasant to think that the earth is so unstable. But you DO know where our stability remains, don’t you. We are always on the soundest foundation if we live in faith. The promises have been given to us and can’t be taken back. Our faith has no gophers under it or other disasters looking for a place to happen. Praise God! We see the storms, the droughts, the floods, and the disasters, but we know the final outcome. Let us thank God the Father of Jesus Christ for giving us His assurances.

 

Pray for those who are struggling with physical, emotional, or spiritual trials. Your prayers make a difference.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
