Where's my cough drop and cough syrup?
Well we are looking at over three weeks now that I have been sick. Although I am no longer contagious, I am still coughing a lot. I was thinking of changing my blog name too. I do feel tremendously better! I pray not to have a relapse. Because I knew I needed to recover and couldn't sleep with all of the coughing I had a lot of time for retrospection. I realized this was both God and nature telling me to lighten up, back off, delegate, let it go, find peace, etc. I am a control freak and self diagnosed OCD girl. So it is really hard for me to hand over any task. Then everything turns into chaos because I try to do everything myself and fail miserably. This gives me little peace. Then I realize it, I see it happening and I just keep on the same destructive path. Why then if I know logically that praying, studying, proper exercise, food, and water will solve most of this do I keep on this path? I don't know. I do know that even if I had everything just right, life would still be tough. But I also know that if I got on the right path with Jesus and did my best to stay there that my anxiousness about all of life's stuff would be subsided. To have that peace of mind would be great. To take care of my body as commanded would be great too. So pray for me here is to the health of my mind and body.

10 Days Later and Still Sick!
Well I am sorry to report that I am still sick. It turns out that I have pneumonia. I have missed almost a week of work. My house continues on it's downward spiral and I am going nuts!! Did you know that you can buy the original version of Nyquil from the pharmacist. It turns out that although the anti-biotic is basically doing it's job. I am still sick because of all of the choking and coughing which are preventing me from sleeping. So I purchased the real stuff and instead of waking up 5 to 10 times per hour I only wake up 1 or 2 times. So hopefully this is real progress and I can go back to work tomorrow. I did learn that it's o.k. to ask for help. Also it's o.k. not to obsess over all the little details. I had fooled myself into thinking that these things really mattered. Lesson learned God. I get it. Only You are in control. So I will do my best to relinquish my obsessive behavior and let You be in charge.

A Post About Not Posting!
Hello Everyone,
Well the last couple of weeks have seemed more like a couple of months. I have two very ill Uncle's one on each side of the family. A friend and neighbor of 10.5 years passed away unexpectedly. I have the flu, yuck! Work has been busier than ever. With the flu I just keep falling behind on everything more and more. I wish I had more poignant things to say. I have friends who post relevant and elegant things all the time and I barely have time to do the laundry and cook dinner. Dinner has been soup and take out and left overs because we've been so busy. I don't like that because I love to cook. Plus cooking is healthier for the body and the budget. Also because of some friends and family I have joined both FaceBook and MySpace and they are o.k. I think I like FaceBook better. It doesn't clog up your screen or slowdown your computer. Plus FaceBook seems more rated G as far as their ads and stuff. I prefer rated G these days. That's about it for now. Sorry for my boring post but that gives everyone somewhat of an update.
