Seeking Him


I had my third epidural injection into my lower back early this morning. The first two times, I've had no trouble. Today the anesthesia gave me a bad reaction and I've been asleep almost all day with a raging headache. The doctor injected the steriod differently this time, more specifically into the area alongside the nerve at the L5 vertebral disc. I'm praying this will give me relief. If this doesn't work, the last resort is surgery to correct the problem. I've suffered with this since early adulthood, and it has only gotten worse as I've gotten older. Please pray with me that healing will come according to God's will. I've so many things I'd like to do that I can't right now, including ride my motorcycles - oh, yes, and work out more than just walking!

Psycho kitty takes up blogging


ugly shower we aren't using because of the floor


Stopped in my tracks


After all the labor on the last house, I would have thought that I'd be further along here. If the truth were completely told, the work I did then was the ONLY work I did. I didn't have a full-time teaching job. Some improvements have definitely taken place here, but most have been in the form of purchases: new washer and dryer, stove, refrigerator. Not that those are small potatoes by any means, but the cosmetic makeover has been put on hold until summer. Stan tore out the carpet in the master bathroom in order to install a new bamboo floor. The tearing out happened before Christmas, and the room is still without a floor or a toilet for that matter. When he's done, there will be less nastiness. Who puts carpet in a bathroom???? In spite of leaving a huge pile of stuff on the curb on moving day, we have way too many things for this house. We finally capitulated and rented a warehouse until we can build our shop/garage out back. I don't know how we have accumulated so many things! Boxes are everywhere and it is hard to get started. The Christmas stuff just left the house last week. I've renamed my blog. Renovation Goddess doesn't fit any more, so I'm mulling over a change.

Where are we going, Mom?
