Cathching up

It's been a quiet week, but i have not been online much. On Monday my sister and mom came to visit me. I was glad to see them. They stayed for the usual amount of time which is 1.5 hrs. Since then i've just been here at home. I haven't gone out except to go for my daily walk or to go to the post office. My daily walk is usually to go to the store and i pick up enough food to last me for the day.

Usually summer is my best season healthwise, but this year it's different. I'm in much more pain than usual, not walking as fast as usual either. I wouldn't be able to say why this summer i am worse but there it is, a fact that i cannot change.

Still looking for a home for Belle, my cat. I can't keep her now that I have Muffy. I could afford them both if i retrench, but Belle does not do well with dogs, she would tolerate Muffy being here while my Mom was away on vacation, or when she was in the hospital, but now that this is Muffy's permanent home she is getting very aggressive, nor is she getting the full positive attention that she needs. I would love to be able to give her the full attention that she needs, but Muffy requires a lot of daily care and there just isn't enough time in the day. So i am looking for a good home for Belle. I am hoping to find something soon, it will be much better for both of them.

I've been having weird thoughts and dreams lately. I feel that God is leading me toward a happy and fulfilling path, but i don't know what that is. I wish there was some way for me to get there faster. I'm just going to have to be patient and hold to the faith that He knows what is best for me and will reveal where He is leading me when the time is appropriate.

A few of my current thoughts

Today has been a bad day for me healthwise...well actually for the last 5 or 6 days i have been in a lot more pain than usual. I know that extra pain was triggered by stress. My Mom was in the hospital twice last week, and no the doctors have not figured out yet what is wrong. Sometimes i really would like to do something nasty to those doctors but i don't follow through with it because i am trying to be a good latter-day saint and to me, hurting those doctors that aren't figuring out what is wrong would take me off my path. I've been praying and hoping that they will very soon find out what is wrong and do what needs to be done to help my Mom.

But that isn't all that is stressing me. I've mentioned before that i am waiting to hear from a friend that is far away. I still haven't heard from this friend. I woke up from a nap just a little while ago during my nap i had a dream that he was in some kind of accident and was hurt very badly. I hope and pray that he is well and happy. I had thought i would have heard something from him by now but maybe i'm just being too anxious. Is it possible that he is just busy with other things and has not yet had time to contact me? I don't know. I will keep hoping to hear from him.

My Mom decided, since all the troubles with her health recently and because she is trying to get rid of as much stress as possible she decided to finally let me have her dog. I've only been asking for him since she got him, i think it was about 6 yrs ago but i'm not sure on the time frame. He's a Bichon Maltese, his name is Muffy and now he is finally mine!!! I am so happy about that!!! Of course he also responds to the name Honey since that is what i've always called him whenever i've been alone with him. While he was my mom's dog whenever she went on a trip or had to be away from home overnight Muffy would come and stay with me. and i always called him Honey. So, Mom if you're reading this then next when you visit us he may or may not respond to Muffy but we'll just have to wait and see....

I've been reading a lot lately. I finished reading the books, The Old Curiosity Shop, Drum's Ring and am now reading The Apocalypse Watch. All of those are good books, I really like all of them for different reasons. I love all Charles Dickens books. Drum's Ring i was first intrigued my the historical setting and the great amount of effort that went into detail, i was saddened near the end when one of my favorite characters was killed, although unintentionally. i am only 100 pages into The Apocalypse Watch but i am really enjoying it. I love these types of books(spy,espionage)not quite sure how to classify it. I love that it's various characters are in several different countries and that some few get to travel between them. I am loving the suspense and am probably going to continue reading it after i finish this post because i am anxious to see if a terrible occurrence that was predicted by one character is going to come to pass or not. i am hoping not. Maybe someday i'll share the reason that i started being obsessed with books when i was 10, but i won't share that today.

One other happy thing to mention is that the last time i spoke to my sister she had said she would come visit me after work. I really hope she does, i could sure use some distraction from the things that are stressing me right now. If she does come over tonite she'll probably be here around 6:30 so that gives me a little bit of time to do some reading

All's Quiet

    Today has been a quiet day. Only me and my cat Belle here today.

   Yesterday my sister and nephew were here visiting. I had a good time with both of them. I introduced my sister to a typing game that she fell in love with(it's hard to find games that she actually like lol).
I enjoyed watching my nephew play my new xbox360 game (samurai warriors2). We had pizza for supper and then came the sad part when they had to go home.
   I've been waiting to receive and email from a friend that lives far away from me right now. I'll keep being patient and hope it comes in sometime this month.
   I didn't get to go to Church today which turned out to be good after all since i woke up with a migraine...i get migraine's way too often, and for so many different reasons.
  Right now just trying to get some reading done and keeping quiet, don't want to make migraine worse, and hoping to get to bed at a decent time tonite if i can. Hoping my CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) won't stop me from sleeping. I do need some rest tonite.
   My cat has been more quiet than usual today, might be from the fact that yesterday was clip the claws day. She got through it alright but has been quiet ever since, in about an hour she's due for her usual nightly 'hyper time' which usually lasts five minutes.
