I haven't been sleeping well this week. Not sure exactly why, but will sleep sound for a couple hours - once I get to sleep - and then will start waking up nearly every hour on the hour until it is time to get up - and then even if I DO try to go back to sleep in here, sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. I woke up during the night with a pounding sinus area and stuffy nose - so I knew there was still some water in the humidifier near the bed so turned it on, and I feel it helped, the pressure is gone, but my sinus area still aches. Are we due to have some rough weather come through?
I took a couple olive leaf extract capsules when I got up and feel a bit better. Will continue taking them throughout the day. Have a mild headache so ibuprofen is on the order too. I rarely get sick so this is annoying. Maybe it was the taco salad I had last night at the restaurant, along with the broccoli soup (it just had an odd texture/taste) and the meat on the salad, not sure if it was hamburger. I just don't like my hamburger so fine that it is like thick gravy - know what I mean? I didn't like the seasoning either. So I pulled 90% of the meat off the salad and ate the lettuce. It was unlike any taco salad I've had in the past. It was the first and last time I will order it from this place. When I hamburger, I want to be able to tell it is hamburger, you know what I mean?
Or it could be the exchange of barbs going back and forth on facebook lately. It grieves my heart and I see the pain on both sides. But both are stubborn and will not admit fault in any shape or form. We all often take a firm stance at some point. I did a lot of praying last night, and again this morning, for restoration of the relationship. I don't want to get in the middle of it. For now, I'm going to 'try' to stay off facebook completely so that I don't read what is going on. Not that it would make any difference, but at least I won't see it.
I finished typing out the message for Sunday last night and got it printed.... and ran out of ink. So, will need to make a run over to Sam's Club to pick up more. For some reason, it feels like this printer goes through ink about every 5-6 months... which isn't so bad, except I really don't use it that often. That is what annoys me. I can order it online at Amazon, and I may, if I find I'm not going to get over to Sam's Club today. I need a copy I can read for Sunday - I'll mark up this one so I can correct the words and then reprint it. I can also print it on 'hubby's printer. Every once in awhile his printer won't connect with his laptop - for whatever reason. I have tried and sometimes can fix it... but if his don't work, he will print off mine... maybe that is the problem with my ink disappearing? Although it really isn't that often.
Ms. Amy called me yesterday. She says she has lost weight and wants me to pick her up today and bring to her 'condo' so she can sew up her pants to make them fit better. Last time I had talked to her she was going to have someone bring her and she was going to take her machine back with her - but now she has decided not to do that. She wants me to pick her up... and she commented... "and I have no one else I can call to come get me...". I put her off until 1PM today when I can possibly take a break and drive over. I told her that I will have to leave her in the 'condo' while I come back home to check messages. It probably won't be too bad. I can get her in her condo and then come back home to check on messages and then when she's ready to go back, run her back. She said that it will only take an hour or so.
I am off work tomorrow and am so happy about that! My boss is taking me to the Christmas House and we will have so much fun! Looking forward to 'shopping' and getting ideas of things to make myself. Especially looking forward to a day off work and spending it with my friend. I'm getting behind in work stuff though so will need to focus as much as I can today. I had some extra stuff thrown at me yesterday to fix and complete so need to work on my regular projects today.
Remembered last night a grandson has a band concert tonight... and we are going to try to make it. That is what the plan is, anyway. Hopefully we will be able to. If I don't forget, will take the daughter-in-law's birthday gift to her as well.
Psalm 23:1-3 (NKJV): "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness."
As I sat here thinking of a verse, I am reminded that when we don't have His joy, Jesus can take us to lie down in green pastures, beside still waters, and find rest. And when we allow Him to bring peace to our souls, He restores us, and leads us in the paths of righteousness, for His name sake. Blessed is the Lord.
And with that, I'm stopping for today, and since I have a little time left before I must start working, I'm going to try to get a little 'rest' of my own. Will be defusing oregano and other oils today to clear the sinus!
Blessings!
