Today has been a good day for me so far. I woke up very focused for the first time in a long while. I usually have to get up and think about what has to happen during the day and it takes me a while to get it together.
Total opposite of last night. I was on my way to cub scouts and completely forgot where I was going. I drove right past the street I needed to turn on and my son kept asking me where we were going. For the life of me, I couldn't remember. After driving past the street three times, he finally spoke up and said - we are going to be late cub scouts - turn here!!!!!! I couldn't believe I was sitting at the light unaware that it changed and that I couldn't remember what to do. I had the mindset to pull into the gas station and sit for a moment.
These little episodes of forgetfulness are starting to get on my nerves. Thank God one of the scout parents saw me and asked if I was headed to the meeting. He actually told me to follow him. It was like my brain was on pause or something.
I just thank God that I got it together and the cold night air helped me out. Anyway, I made it back home. For some reason I never forget how to get back home. I guess it's true - home is where the heart is. I was supposed to go camping with the scouts, but I have a test in the morning with a doctor that prevents me from going.
Like I said, today has been good to me so far. My joints don't ache too much, my headache is gone after 23 days, my vision is still blurry - but I can see. The diabetes numbers are a bit high - but I am managing. I just glad that the stabbing pains and the pins and needles aren't affecting me today.
I just thank God that His Word is true. When all else fails and seems to be falling apart around me - HE remains the same. I hear about so many people who have been sick, in the hospital, have major issues - and the list goes on. All I know is this: where there is life, there is hope.
All I can do right now is think about the future and continue to believe that my needs will be met. I know that I have not talked about food in a while. Well last night I made fettucini alfredo with broccoli and shrimp. It was really good. I followed that recipe for the sauce to the letter. I think I saw it on food network - Michael Chiarello or Mario Batali - not sure. Either way - it was great. The kids loved it.
Being Friday, it is appetizers and a movie with the kids. Wings, pot. skins, onion rings - homemade of course, fish nuggets and a veggie platter. Sounds like a plan.
By the way - anyone looking for a dog? He is part Boston Terrier and Min Pinscher. I am very allergic to him. If I don't get any takers by Monday - off to the pound he goes. The kids will get a fish tank instead.
