January 7, 2010

I am reading New Moon and listening to classical piano at http://www.lisztonian.com. It is a fabulous site that plays classical piano 24/7.  I love it!
I am feeling much better today. I had a complete day of juicing every hour on the hour and a double detox.  I am nearly completely healed.  I just have a little, infrequent cough. For more information than you will ever want to know about this amazing healing process, read the Gershen Theory. Enough said.
On the other hand, Dave is in a terrible state. He has some flu-like thing on top of the kidney pain I mentioned  earlier. He came home from the resale shop with vomiting and diarrhea. He declined dinner and went to bed. I tried to offer any assistance that he needed but he just asked for Pepto and to be left alone.  I gave him the Pepto and the solitude he asked for and am quietly reading, listening to music with headphones, and praying for him all at one time.
Otherwise, I am happy to be almost healed from my 4-5 day bad cold and back in the land of the living!

january 5, 2009

Well, this is a fine howdy-do!  My husband has been very ill with kidney pain for quite awhile now but has no insurance. Yesterday he slept all day and didn't speak to me until very late in the evening. He didn't even eat dinner.  Today he slept until late afternoon and then got dressed and said he was going to visit his dad.  He added that he would not be home for dinner but would eat with his dad.  I was fixing dinner at the time.
I don't know what to think. I know he is in pain and I feel bad for him. We are broke so I can't help him with the kidney problem since he has no insurance. He is depressed and with good reason. I feel left out and alienated by his silence and our lack of intimacy.  I am totally powerless to help him at all. He won't even talk to me. He asks what good does TALKING do?
I am at a complete loss.I just don't know how to help him. He is so grumpy and hurting so bad and so depressed about the state of our finances that it is difficult to even be in his company let alone be compassionate etc.
Pray that the Lord will fix this. I can't. I can only  leave it at the cross and ask that you, dear readers, will do the same.
To top it all off, I have a bad cold with fever and chills. What's a gal to do on days like this?

New year

It is now 2010. A new year has begun. It is difficult to comprehend that I am now 56 years old and still here! LOL! Seems so old...
Resolutions:  To be kinder, to give out smiles like candy, to give more compliments than complaints, to paint more, to encourage a more peaceful home life.  Some are going to be more difficult than others but I really think they are all doable and worthy. 
I plan to get my bedroom organized and decorated.  I am currently living without flooring. My chihuahuas refuse to be housebroken and I need to save up enough money to put down laminate or linoleum or something other than carpet. In the meantime, I had to pull up all the carpet because,quite frankly it was ruined and stank.
I have three chihuahua puppies ready to go to their new homes next week so the ad is ready to go up on www.zannibals.com and the procedes will go to putting in a bathroom for Dave in the loft. He wants to move there in order to have a retreat and privacy and get away from the constant noise of a busy household.  He is so grumpy lately that I have to agree that he needs a quieter environment. Result: He gets a bathroom and moves to the loft before I get flooring. 
No problem with that though. I care about his comfort and doing it supports my first resolution.
That is all for today, my dear readers. Hope your New Year is the best ever!
