March 08 stocking up without knowing itCleaning out my cupboards & pantry today, I found THREE bags of barley. Two pot, one pearl. Seems like it is time to make soup...  March 07 I have to agree with PugeniHeather hosted a fellow from Zimbabwe. This week she wrote the following on her blog, and I agree with Pugeni: While he was here, I took him to visit the snow sculptures. They
completely dumbfounded him. "People do this for RECREATION? In the
FREEZING COLD? And then it all melts in the Spring?" Too puzzling for
him to comprehend. On a more serious note, check out her post Embarrassed by Riches to remember how much we have to be thankful for. That post was also inspired by Pugeni's visit. March 05 odd flu I have a weird flu. Or something. Started on Saturday, with a blammo headache and a general feeling of "oh no - I'm getting sick!" I was all set to head out to get in a few hours of lindyhop, so I was also sullen and resentful all evening. Aren't you glad you weren't here? Sunday to Tuesday was a festival of aches in every muscle and joint that I have, plus a dizziness that isn't located in my head. My knees went out under me without warning. I've been weak in general, and walking has reminded me of being on the cruiseship: lots of staggering around. I also had a brief episode of fly-eye, where instead of seeing only double, I got that multi-faceted vision that the sci-fi movies use to show us the point of view of an insect. Alarming and interesting, all at the same time. The aches don't respond at all to ibuprofen, which is showing my how spoiled I am since my expectation is that most pain disappears when I toss down 400mg. Lyndon has been sick since Feb 25th, but he's big-time congested, so he obviously has a different virus than I do. Yesterday I drove to Safeway but I shouldn't have! I was a menace, and was lucky to make it home without actually causing an accident. That's still part of that dizziness that seems to be centered between my shoulder blades instead of in my head. Today I feel 50% less achey. That's good news! I don't think driving is advisable yet, though. We want to meet our new nephew, so Lyndon & I both need to get healthy! March 02 it ISN'T just us??It sure doesn't seem like any other parents we know are struggling with this, but the cartoon tells me we're not alone.  Everyday People March 01 largely unchanged This week, I read the following in The Gate Seldom Found, a novel by Raymond Reid based on the house church movement in the Guelph area around the turn of the century. If the path we're following now hasn't changed us in the past ten years, it's likely not the way of Christ. I am very convicted by this. I remember turning 30, and I feel largely unchanged. It has driven me to my knees. |
