ONCE AGAIN.... STILL HERE!
Ike passed us by, without too much harm to me and Mom, although parts of town got hit and flooded. Tracy has had a chance to clean up all the limbs that fell and other mess, so the yard looks normal again.
I was sick as a dog last week. I got some type of bug and could keep nothing at all down for at least 4 days. Mom forced me to go to the doctor after vomiting for 3 days and having blood in it. I'm fine now, but it was not fun being sick. Suffice to say the babies huddled around me and "comforted" me as much as I could stand it with having that much puppy weight on your tummy.
Tracy is looking voraciously for work with no hits as yet. I will go back to work Monday since I'm doing better now, but my paltry salary is not enough to keep the bills paid. It's hard on both of us with the stresses. Just cross your fingers and say a prayer for us.
Today I bought a very beautiful rosary. It is pale gray gradient to darker gray beads with a beautiful cross and holy mother medallions. One of our patients leaves for Rome next week and has an audience with the Pope....that's right, the Pope!, and she will have both mama's and my rosary blessed. There were lots of prettier sets, but this one struck my fancy first, maybe because it is sort of like me, doesn't stand out or command attention. Mom pointed out several more, but I just felt that this was my rosary. Funny, I haven't said my rosary in far too long. I miss sitting inside church, enjoying the solitude. I always have felt at peace in the quiet.
Well guys, that 's all for now. I'm off to bed. I tried to make dinner, but, no one ate it. Night for now.
