Postponed

My appointment at the Pain Management clinic has been postponed until Thursday afternoon because of the possibility of Tropical Storm Edouard heading this way (flooding/rain is what we'd get here in Houston most likely).

Zoe starts school on the 18th. I still need to purchase her uniforms or pray that I will be allowed to raid the school's closet of used uniforms. I mean, who wants to pay $50 for a jumper they wear once a week. I'd buy them online, but I don't know if she has stuff that still fits her. She got taller, but thinned out a lot from all the swimming.

I'm glad the kids are feeling better. Zoe was just so cute last night as we read Ramona Quimby, Age 8 for her summer reading reports.

Finishing up this post later on. I made a ginourmous pot of spaghetti (it was GREAT) and then we ate strawberries. I took some medrol (steroid) yesterday and a Vicodin this afternoon so I feel much better, but still am pretty achy. I'm taking a break from the News as they are getting a little out of control with the storm drama already.

I know storms are deadly and dangerous, but I don't think I need to watch six straight hours of coverage. Some stations don't even break for commercial.

Zoe's snugged up asleep next to me. She's so pretty. We both miss Seattle and she misses her big sis there. They were birds of a feather.

I am going to spend the day in my jammies and watch all the rain.

I can do this. I'm in far too much pain, but the jammies and snuggles make it cozy.

Your assignment today is to take at least 5-10 minutes to enjoy something you like. I had some warm hazelnut cinnamon coffee this morning and I enjoyed just savoring the flavor. It's no where near as good as the coffee my debu_sweetie used to deliver every morning, but for today, it will have to do.

And thank you for all the lovely comments, especially Alyce (yes, my Tim's sweet mom). I was really surprised, but regardless of all the pain, knowing that people are praying and care about you really truly helps lesson the fear and hurt and pain. Knowing all of that gives me such strength. I can and *am* doing this. I love you!

My debu_sweetie is so on my mind. I just truly adore him.

You are a fabulous writer and I pray for you each day--I see sunny skies ahead for you despite that tropical storm.

You are a hero :)
