Day 34/35 Friday Night: Friday night was a very interesting night. J and I settled in as usual reading and spending time with each other. Every night it has been relatively easy to drift off into a peaceful sleep. This night proved to be different. J and I really don’t have a “mouse problem” but occasionally a little field mouse will find a way in..... This is what we used to do....If we saw a mouse....we chased it into the office....Yes this could take hours.....then we strategically duct taped all exits. We then waited ....to attack at the most opportune time. Of course we jumped pretty high when he dared to make the first move. The end result was J always ruled. He is a dead aim with duct tape! The problem was this seemed a little sinister. It’s not the little guys fault he wandered in. ....so we went to little traps that we could catch them in and put them back outside. This seems much more civil. Friday night, late, the noises are everywhere and J catches another in the trap. We release him to the wild. Do you think we will probably catch him again?....J gets so keyed up about the little guy, he can’t sleep and goes to the living room for noise to sleep by. Some people need noise to sleep at night. Or the possibility that I am freezing him out of the bedroom is quite likely. At 4:00 a.m. I believe you could say I “hit the wall”. I have hard this term, but didn’t really understand it. I have been charging amid symptoms and thoughts I will not let stand. My head was dizzy and my knees and ankles were very painful. This is my first experience with pain in the last 5 weeks. I was not receptive or happy. I decided if I could find a banana that would do it. I thought I probably just needed potassium. Here is the weird thing.....I can have absolutely no knowledge of a thing, but am always extremely sure of what I think about it.....I don’t think I want to change......I’ll consider..... J charges to the grocery. I LOVE this MAN!...I choke down bananas. J calls the doc. They eventually get back, but have no idea what is going on with me. They say take plenty of Ibuprofren.....Ok ..I do that and within an hour I am asleep. Saturday: Let’s clean something! I charge forward with housecleaning. This place is not dirty, but let’s charge....... The afternoon is fabulous on the new deck! J buzzes my hair. Sunday: I love Sundays. J and I head to the Ridge. Jim gives his testimony again. He has weathered many physical problems.....and he survived them all. J and I spend the evening reading and discovering what God has for us. Everyday I am learning something new from God. Today I have learned that joy and gladness are signs of restoration. (Psalm 105: 1,2,8, and 43.) <back
