I had a good day again yesterday. I did more cleaning of drawers, but am in the craft area now, so pulling out drawers and sorting what is in each drawer, has now made a bigger mess....but it's getting much more organized. I found at least a dozen rolls of tape....6 bottles of glue all in different spots, glue sticks, hot glue sticks and more adhesives. All of this was spread out in different spots. Now each one has it's own spot. I also sorted two or three boxes of rolls of ribbon with beads, spangles, buttons and other amenities for gift wrapping and craft decor. Needless to say, now I have a lot a things organized and setting around the room in separate boxes till I figures out where to put it.
I said yesterday that I had inspired some and not others, Lois is the one who said she was in need of that inspiration, but hadn't caught it yet. No Mary it wasn't you....I know you caught it!! It really feels good to be able to let go of some of this stuff.
I got a call from my sister just before noon, and she told me she was at the hospital with Gary. She had taken him to the ER on Friday night after he had been in pain for almost 2 weeks before letting her take him in. They kept him over night and at 5:30 in the morning he was again in chest pain, and so they did a bunch of tests and later in the afternoon, they did an angiogram, and thus found 2 areas that he previously had stints put in with 90% occlusion They then did an angioplasty and put in two new stints, and he was back in his room sleeping peacefully when I called her at about 6 pm., after I got out of church. During the afternoon, I spent a lot of time contacting my kids and others by phone, email and Facebook letting them know what was going on and asking for prayers. I guess the prayers worked, as they are letting him go home today shortly after noon.
Carol and Del took me to church, and plan on taking me each week with them. They have agreed to let me pay my own way, when we go out to eat after church, which makes me happy. I hate taking advantage of people, especially when they are already picking me up and taking me to church. Next week we will go on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. as the Viking don't play till 3 p.m. in the afternoon....so we can all be home in time to watch the game. After church and dinner last night, Carol had remembered that I needed some things at the grocery store and Walgreen's and offered to take me on our way home. After thinking about it, I realized I could get everything I needed at Walgreen's and could also go to the cash machine there. So we stopped and I took care of all my needs!! Thank God for great friends.
Love you all, Love and Prayers, m
