Then there is no one living at home with you on a Saturday morning, you haven’t met your new neighbors, your cat is away and you haven’t met your future bride, what do you do? It’s sort of a rhetorical question but also not.
For me, I start wondering things. I guess first on my mind is what I want for breakfast. I’d love to have some cinnamon rolls like some temptress posted on here minutes ago, but, alas, I can’t eat sticky buns and have no eggs in the house. (I keep reasoning that I won’t cook breakfast, so I shouldn’t need to buy any, and yet I keep waking up wondering why the h-e-double-hockey-sticks I didn’t buy eggs the previous day!)
Cancer is exhausting. I refuse to quit trying to improve, but I often feel like I’m trying to defy everything. My life has become such a blur, and now (one good thing) is that I’m hungry until I can eat no more and then get nauseous and it becomes one evil loop.
I’m one of those stubborn people who at least like to fool myself into thinking I can do everything by myself, but I know that’s not true. There is no game when you’re alone. It’s just you (me) and my lonely thoughts. I often keep the TV on for background noise (and then I find myself passionately agreeing or disagreeing about whatever they’re saying). And for the record, I refuse to watch Fox News because they’re usually so out there, but I do find myself watching Fox Business at night. How I digressed from cancer to loud TV only the good Lord knows. (There are some things I just don’t want to know!)
My crazy little brother looks exactly like this guy. I’m not able to say my brother’s real name without his permission, so I just call him Bob.
A bonus mix for the night -- dedicated to my bros up in Memphis and all of you crazies in Tennessee (including my kin). Looking forward to a trip to Nashville soon! Hope some of you can join me!
Amen!
This is my mantra for today. I am praying. I am praying a lot! What I am not doing is worrying.
Yes, we are in some crazy and scary times right now. God wants us to be prepared, cautious, safe but also trusting.
I am planning and taking precautions, but I am first and foremost trusting God.
He’s got this everyone!
So, say a prayer for strength and comfort today. With God’s grace, we can get through anything.

BIG meeting for me this afternoon. I’m meeting with a team about publishing my novel series. I released the first one on Amazon without advertising and a novice cover (a photo I took on a trip to Italy). I’m totally unprepared (as I left all of my stuff at my home in Florida), but my biggest worry is that my father “forgets” to shower before the meeting! Ladies, PLEASE make sure you teach your children that two showers/baths a week does not mean CLEAN!
Your dance music for the weekend (posting tonight or early tomorrow, depending on your time zone.) Have fun! -30-
Anyone else thankful they did not watch last night’s so-called slugfest?
Confined to the house (and right now the couch), but I’m thankful to be out of a hospital bed!
