it's been awhile...

we made it through Easter...

it has been a long winter for us...

we took turns being sick through most of it...

trying to get back on my feet and I ended up over doing it...

had upper respiratory infections, bronchitis...

went back to my NP for one more round of antibiotics to kick it out for good...

got a shot of Recephia in the butt...

now I have had this shot many times before...

but...

this last time went bad...

we had just gotten home and I had a severe allergic reaction to it...

DH ran me back up to the Dr's office, I called before we left to make sure they were still there...

we were the last ones in there before lunch...

they were just about to head out of the door...

and my NP recognized my phone number and answered it...

she came running out with both hands full when we pulled into the parking lot...

a shot in the butt and an epi pen in the arm...

my throat closed 3 times while they were working on me...

but Jesus opened it up every time...

Casey, my NP, said I needed the ER and I nodded...

they called the ambulance and of course I knew these paramedics...

(toy drive)

and away we went...

I finally started breathing easier when we got to the hospital...

I had to stay and hour and a half to make sure it was over and nothing else was going to happen...

it didn't...

but now I can take nothing in the penicillin family at all...

:(

then Jody has been here and gone...

she stayed 3 weeks again...

yep, she was here when this happened...

spring is happening...

over did my exercises so I could play outside and ticked off my knees...

especially the left one...

NP gave me water pills and some kind of cream in a big tube...

and that stuff works...

only had to take the water pill one day so far...

been out working outside the last 2 days...

its a down day today...

its been a pretty boring winter...

missed you, too...

more coming...

we have more bad weather heading this way to make the weekend yucky...

I am spending some down time here...

I over did it so many times...

so its pretty much self afflicted...

need to do so much more sorting, but it will happen when it happens...

until this passes, I will just have to dream of spring...

stay warm and stay home if you're getting this stuff, too!

we have snow...

it came in over the weekend and I think it will be around for awhile...

been working on things inside...

there is so much more to do, but it will keep be busy while its cold out there...

so much turmoil going on in the world...

I am focusing on my peace within...

letting go of anything negative and holding onto love...

compassion and Christ...

there is so much evil going on in the world right now...

but there is also good...

and I believe a revival in all that is good...

and the media is calling things this and calling it that...

some is truly misleading...

so I have decided to pray for the "good guys" out there...

and let God sort out who is who...

I do believe we need the wall built asap...

to much drugs and human trafficking....

free rides for people who didn't come in legally...

and the idea that terrorists could simply just walk right in...

but I do feel like there is something big about to happen...

something we don't know about yet and that there is a reason behind all the madness...

so just keep praying...

and be ready...

love you...

my word for 2019...

is truth...

truth in a world of chaos...

the truth is...

the word of God...

and His plan for us, if we choose it...

Be Of Good Cheer, I Have Overcome The World.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

 John 16:33 NKJV
